1. I’m tired.
2. I genuinely believe and I say this with 100% confidence that this game is long over due for a wipe.
3. I want to live in a world where the cash shop does not exist.
4. Lastly if the game cannot self sustain itself without the use of cash shop items then it is time for iRO to go back to it’s original roots and go full on subscription mode and here are my reasons why.
So going back to my first point “I’m tired” and yes I know I’m quoting myself but this is how serious I am and I can say this because I have posted on many of the forums threads where it asked to give a suggestion or proposal or discuss what’s good for the server, etc.
Secondly I believe this server is due for a wipe because the last time a big update like 3rd job classes came out the server changed drastically to the point of a brand new renewal server emerging called Yggdrasil and then after merging with Chaos and guess what?!? 4th jobs are underway along with new expanded classes so either the clock tic it’s last tic or it’s still ticking but not for very long.
Yes I do dream of a world where the cash shop does not exist and this 3rd point will tie into the second and last points. Firstly and technically we couldn’t get rid of cash shop items if we wanted to because it is apart of the overall game, kRO is not in a rush to change how they manage making money but just because we can’t beat them doesn’t mean we have to join them and I say this because just because kRO is handling things one way doesn’t mean we have to follow in their footsteps.
Lastly if we want a full self sustaining game where money is not an issue then we need to put all those ocp items and cash shop items in game via monster drop, mvp drop, quest rewards, achievement rewards and even annual event quest rewards. Now I am aware that making a game self sustaining means that the player base either (A.) Has to stay constant or (B.) Has to have a slow and steady incline of players through time to maintain itself. This is a hard yet simple task for the game developers to do as it requires literally the player base to keep the game alive. If the game cannot do this then opting for a older system like subscription base is there best bet. One because it’s a steady constant flow of money. Two it doesn’t interfere in the pay to win aspect as the only thing you’d be paying is actual game play while everything else will be obtained via in game.
All in all this is coming from someone who wants nothing more than to see the game succeed in one way or another. I’ve been here since the very beginning and I plan on being here until the very end. If you’ve made it this far thank you and god bless.
