Why would you get blowback, it's not like a GM will ever respond, even if they read this @Juji @Hime @Cyan
I think this is what 90% of us had in mind when they sucked us back into this game
Pay to play > Pay to win
I would gladly pay a subscription if there was a server with full drop rates and no pay to win.
I dont know why people should be limited to 1 toon, if someone wanted to pay for a few boxed buffers, better for everyone
I also dont see why a free-to-play/VIP system couldnt work as well, but the VIP should be a subscription, not a P2W scheme.
But the reality is it is way too late for that I am sure. They have burned most of their base with this shameless, back to back to back to back P2W events. Anyone who hasnt already quit is at least 1 foot out the door, myself included. I havnt purchased any of the recent P2W items via NCoin, and I never will again. Im also letting the VIP levels just dwindle away on my dozen or so toons. Im on TI and while I think it's the most "populated" server, I dont think there are more than 100 live people still playing consistently, and only a few dozen total at the top......and a decent portion of them are only playing to sell adena/items ingame for real $$$.
IF/WHEN they give us the L-Coin store that all the other "classic" version have, and if it requires a certain VIP level to get coin to drop, I may put some more money into this game, but until then they saw my last dollar on the Talisman of Fate event when they introduced progressive fail rates to their P2W items. Maybe they will get a couple dollars here and there for Party SOE/MyTeleport scrolls, but they definitely lost a "customer" with me.
