I made a point discussing exactly this and was flamed for it now here it is again someone else has brought it up. It all boils down to greed, you can blame warp portal for the hideous Kachua system to a point, but ultimately it comes down to the players, who support this abusive practice, due either to the fact that they cant keep their heads above water in this inflated economy or because they are the progenitors of the inflation. I have been guilty of this in the past myself just trying to stay afloat in an abusive economy state, but I refuse to spend anymore...I cannot support this anymore. The greed has become too egregious people are selling items for billions, that's all fine and good for the 10 people that have cornered this market and have been cycling billions between each other to buy MVP cards etc. There are about 5 or 6 vendor clusters on this server belonging to just as many individuals...you know what i am talking about the lines of vendors attached to one account. Of course there are those who have made blacksmiths just to warp around low TI, and take other peoples loot warp looting as it were...a despicable practice, and because LOW TI is so flooded with creatures, and the people there in have to deal with the mobs or die...getting to loot is rare before someone warp loots your stuff away.
The cash shop items are too good, this has created a game where everyone runs around solo, and is basically unwilling to share xp/time/loot because it is more profitable to fly solo. In the past what made this game great was getting together with a party and each person having something to offer, the High Wizards doing aoe, the High Priests buffing and healing, Paladins pulling, Snipers putting down Protective traps...NOW that's dead, everyone is just a power house and a party unto themselves.
Warp Portal your game has been taken away from you, because you refuse to make OCP items more accessible creating a real economy where a player can choose your boxes or buying from another player. You have allowed these Dozen or so people to dictate how each item release goes. What is more egregious is the Rng within Rng system they are now facilitating it should make you sick that you are now rolling the dice to roll the dice. You legit have better odds in a Casino that is saying something.
Well i think its time to retire this game. See what happens in a few years. Either the dozen people who have cornered this market will simply dominate the market completely and set prices to whatever they want making the game completely in accessible or Warp Portal will wake up, start releasing updates more regularly, why are we missing fundamental updates...Increased levels, Character Releases, Dungeons...start putting items in the game that matter...not just unsellable trash that no one uses anymore. Let there be a way for dedicated players to compete with Whales. Something has to be said for time investment. You seem to be able to put out new costumes monthly...NO one cares there are so damn many costumes to choose from, you almost have more costumes than useable gear STOP...Worry about Critical updates first, then get into the minutia of cosmetics.
Please take the USELESS CRAP OUT OF KACHUA at the very least, no more, freaking HE Battle Manuals, no more Alchemist Boxes, Ygg berry boxes, ENOUGH of the filler. You have more than enough items, that you can put in Useful things like Blacksmith Blessing in a decent quantity, bloody branches need to be more than 1 or 2 that feels really bad. Shadow Enchant boxes, Shadow refines, low refine certs. All of these are much better low end items, Does anyone even use the damn Ygg Boxes or are they just stacking up?
WoE is a miserable waste of time you truly want to feel the gap between the players who have Billions vs Everyone else play WoE go get one shot by an invincible MVP carded WHATEVER. Thats my two cents okay FLAME ON!!!
