I have been here playing L2 since the prelude days.
Spent some money on the L2 store in the past, some money on the various random event boxes, etc. but I am not a big spender.
I finally got tired of spending any money on the L2 store random event boxes & it has probably been close to 2 years now since I have last spent money on any such type of event.
Anymore, if I am going to spend any money, I want to know I am getting something in return & I am sure I am not alone here.
Ncsoft needs to get rid of all of this random event stuff & just put the items in the store to sell.
Since the cloak event is going on, I will use that as an example, but this could apply to 90% of all of Ncsoft events.
With this so called event, I would be willing to spend some money if I could log into the store, & actually see something like:
+7 Cloak for x amount of nccoin
+8 Cloak for x amount of nccoin
+9 Cloak for x amount of nccoin......etc.
If the actual event items were in the store & at reasonable, prices, then I would consider spending some money again.
But as long as everything just keeps being a random chance where an item you want could cost $100 - $5000, then my money is better spent on other things.
