Oh yeah I forgot FAW. Well .. I'd rather have OP items obtainable via cash shop rather than via in game. All loots that can be farmed from instances sell for nothing. In fact only few MvP cards are worth buying and other MvP cards are crap. Old players or vets run tons of characters to farm and try to hold the market power, saturating market so quickly.
Moreover, WoE is dead. That's the mark of game death. Now PvM, everyone who play Gen or GX or WL can farm easily i.e they're efficient. Anybody who doesnt want to re-roll and invest resources can just quit because they're inefficient.
Cheap WPE sellers also have quit. Now players cant buy 1k WPE for less than $10. I've never done this but I was told from South American players that it could go as cheap as $5. PvM players who farm zeny most efficient get to stay. Those who farm zeny less efficient get forced to quit because they cant afford a high price of WPE. It will only go up.
It's unfortunate that they need to put good items in cash shop to get people to buy. Though game used to be P2P and it even went by minutes i.e 30 online minutes game card, unlimited 2 days game card, etc but that didnt work out. If no good it ems in cash shop to encourage spending money in game, game would of shut down long time ago when the game became F2P.
So wait I don't understand, why do you want OP items to be available only in cash shop? Because people who spend money deserve it more than people who play the game?
