I would like to preface that I practically farmed all of my MVPs back when I hardcore grinded the game. With that said:
You're not wrong and I actually very much agree with you. But this goes back to the same problem as I pointed out before. Regarding iRO being the only server that is extremely different from their counterparts, kRO, twRO and even jRO.
Is it bad being different? Not necessarily but I think it's pretty obvious that when all of those servers have more players than iRO that speaks enough for itself. Maybe it's time to think about why the server is the way it is rather than romanticizing about how being more p2w will kill the server (not that it isn't already p2w anyways and with the recent BB 2x card rate fiasco, lol).
Why is iRO the only one with actual dupe problem? Every server has RMT problems but iRO has it the worst with all the RMT AND dupes. Let's think about it, if iRO had the MVP card/sealed MVP card albums in the original OCP like every other server will it be as bad as it is? Will it generate as many MVP cards as it has now with dupe being rampant? Will people be as keen on buying it off gold sites? Probably not because no one will seek an illegal way when there is a legal method and once again the card rate from the boxes are, once again, EXTREMELY low (I have personally tried it on twRO, I didn't get anything). This not only allows WP to generate enough revenue to update the game but perhaps hire more staffs so it can actually regulate the game correctly. With enough staffs maybe they can have more people investigating the dupes.
You guys always see the bad side of things but never sit down to look at things objectively. You hear p2w and immediately shoot down the idea, never tried to understand how low the rate of the card/albums are, what it could do for WP as a company, whether or not actual new players want this and what it could do to help new players in this game catch up to veterans.
I've never asked you to join them or lose your standards like you claim. I said that it could've been an alternative way to stop dupes, help new players catch up and generate revenue for WP which will then be able to fund updates. Because at this point, whether or not Campitor admits it, it is pretty much very obvious that we only get updates if we generate enough revenue. And I really want the new Illusion dungeon update.
EDIT: PS: Putting MVP cards does not benefit me in anyway possible other than selling these cards since I have every card that I need except for a RG card, just in case any of you think that I could actually gain anything out of this.
