It still all comes down to since you're a paying customer you should get whatever you want. Since this is the case for you, what's preventing you from asking for more absurd crap next time? And so what if it's difficult for you to obtain the item, either buy more KP to trade for zeny so you can buy it OR go down there and hunt it yourself. The solution is not for WP to sell the item to you in the kafra shop just because its getting difficult for you to obtain the item, by that logic WP should sell me MVP cards since its difficult for me to get them and I'm willing to pay.
Your argument is like saying because there are people who ask for minimum wage to be raised, that everyone who agrees with the raise will ask to be spoonfed by the state for the rest of their lives. The bull-_-tery. Keep extrapolating.
Stop using the RL commitment card. Everyone has 24 hours. Even Albert Einstein had 24 hours a day. Its all about time management. Now just be honest and admit that you're too lazy to work for it hahaha
Being said yes I'm too lazy to farm as I only play RG. Asking friends to play AB/String with me is also time consuming and not that efficient-wise. I also live in a weird time zone (I live in somewhere somewhere in North pole). Yes, cursed fragment in cash shop sounds good. People are not obligated to buy. Those who want to farm in game can do so and those who are grateful and want to spend $$$ to support iRO can also do so.
Although it doesn't really matter to me. Getting perfect headgear is irrelevant as WoE is dead (you cant make people cry anymore) and no one cares if you can hit 10m damage on dumb Als who dont fight back.
Yes everyone has 24 hours, but not everyone earns the same amount per hour. WOE is already dead, right now a large share of people don't WOE anymore, and WOE is not compulsory. I personally don't give a flying fish about it. If anything to be honest, given how OP the headgears are, they prolly will end up being disabled at WOE at some point, since the power creep does not scale (i.e. increase in damage does not scale with increase in hp, hence ppl will T.T).
There was a point where WOE was fun for me too, that time has passed. So many things need fixing yet we seem to have new content that continually stuffs us over without being worked out first. If a car for example gets launched before it is made safe, then had massive issues, in real life this would already be a class action lawsuit.
If people are so desperate to spend cash to make these enchanted headgears, sell wpe and buy from players who actually do the effort of farming. Do you know how much supply, gears, and time it takes to gather these materials? that's what you're paying for.
In short, this thread: "Bwaaaah I want end game gears without playing, but also I'm too cheap to buy the materials from players, spoon feed me pls"
I told you I don't wanna pay hiked up prices by people who run a monopoly. Read much? Supplies and gears? Tell that to the earthquake spamming idiots. Just because I don't wanna pay mafia like prices doesn't mean I am not amenable to more reasonable prices. There is no gurantee your items are not gained by earthquake since the GMs give ZERO transparency about punishements.
It's like the fake plastic rice that is sold in certain countries. Instead of nailing the consumers the attention should be garnered against the illegal merchants. I don't see any of you and your posse standing up and saying the earthquake spammers/abusers should be punished. Is it not SUSPICIOUS?
That's your situation and that will be how you will view the game.
I have a busy life and the only thing I play nowadays is WoW and phone games. Sure there are things I can buy, but there should be things that can only be earned for playing through the game.
Even WoW understands this simple idea that players need to play the game in order to improve. You as the player will have to figure out what's worth sacrificing in order to make the time.
Yes Demeris, it's the same as the bio4 runs. That's why against the will of some players I defended your runs when they were shooting you down, as I know what it takes. The difference is, you didn't do it with the earthquake abuse for the bio4 runs.
Did it occur to you that maybe other players aren't as well geared as my party and coterie's are?
Man this is hard, you and Dem are people I look up to. The thing is, there was huge abuse, enough to warrant a restart. The problem is, no GM has owned up to what has been done to punish the idiots. I don't know who Coterie is, I don't really care, as there is no way to confirm what they sell is legit.
End of the day, GMs need to communicate better with players about what they have done to convince us what is on the market is not fake.
If they refuse to do it, the only way otherwise is to do it via kafra. I don't agree with MVP cards for sale in kafra, and I never have. And if the management is really serious about fixing the mvp card situation, shouldn't they have gone to the facebook groups, correlate that with the ones being sold in WP chaos market, and wipe them out proper? That's a discussion for another day.
