With the new Items included in the Lucky Boxes. It makes me wonder, how long is this going to go on for? We have talks about how to improve WoE competition but Gravity just decides to throw in an item that really kills another goal for in WoE. (The Backpack) Why WoE for a certain God Item as one of your goals when you can just buy it with Cash? Why go on a long quest with other players just to get that Nydhoggur drop and continue doing it as a group till everyone gets one? Let's take off Nydhoggur Manteau and Asprika off our check list. Let's get our wallets out and buy that Backpack everyone. Forget Quest, Forget War of Emperium. Forget competition in WoE.
I understand that change will always be among us for this game, something which is always needed to keep things moving. But why must you trash all the ideas and methods that made this game what it is into a Cash Cow? Don't tell me we can buy it from other players with Zeny. Don't tell me I could go out and make Zeny by MvPing either. MvPing doesn't even matter like it use to.
You have higher end MvP's that don't even require a group. Just throw in a Convex Box. Forget actually teleporting as a party to find it. Let's also forget working to MvP it. Let's forget about MvPing in general as that Icon that pop over your head means nothing to players these days. It's not a reward anymore. Just get the FIRST hit on the MvP and then let your opponents kill it and you can walk up and take the items. It doesn't matter, we don't have that form of respect anymore with MvPing like we use to. Reporting it does nothing and it's a proven time and time again. Year in, Year out.
Why can't you do things that actually make us play the game to get it? One way or another, Cash will be involved some how in every new aspect of the game that actually matters to the majority of the community. Especially War of Emperium.
Where did working our asses off for that 120 Trunks just to get a Sakkat back then? Why can't we have some of the ideas from other MMO's that give you the option of buying it via Mall or getting it through long quests ? Why must we get every god damn thing related to the Kafra Shop?
On top of that, the MvP reward isn't worth it. Just go to the Kafra Shop, you'll bound to get something better. Making zeny? Forget playing the game. Just sell Warp Portal Energy points and you have your funds right in front of you.
Everything can be ruled out by using Cash. I get that business is business. But unlike other MMO's do we really have to take another road where we throw every new thing into the game obtainable that's better than items that you actually PLAY the game to get? Again, we should have the option to QUEST for these new items to fulfill our end game. Doesn't have to be easy either. Just give us that option to play the game in order to receive our reward properly. Just like we use to. Slotted Sunglasses, Nydhoggur Manteau, and what else can you all list?
We all talk about improving competition, improving game play. But every course of action you take always results in Kafra Shop someway, somehow. You can say we get minor quest that give us items. But those don't mean anything in a long run besides a collection item.
You can ask yourself why this game is declining. Those people that play still, we aren't obligated to use the Kafra Shop. You're right. But sometimes you put us in a position where what else can we do? Change is among us, and this is the only option we have to get the item we want.
We can't even enjoy the game to get items like we use to. I really miss those days, a great example as I mentioned earlier was the collection of earning a Sakkat. So overpowered.
P.S: Excuse my broken English & Grammar. But you get the point.
