if i said time is mean, the player is veteran since at least 2 years and found time for kyra or mongo event, so this veteran got so many stuff with that and some of them just ignore the current VM stuff at this time to farm for the next VM stuff, for exemple a imperator player could ignore ambush and just farm for the death stuff, so instead to change armor every 6 months some players chose to change every year, it is what i said by use time instead money
I love how you say 'of course that will take disgusting amounts of time', as though that's reasonable. Why shouldn't it be achievable for everyone? Because you said so? This type of attitude is what killed competitive PvP.
We're not talking about things being gained through skill, it's just a time/money dump i.e. pay us $$$ or spend the equivalent of a full time job per week playing or you won't be able to competitively play against these people who just dumped $800 into the game and got it all in one day.
It's also pretty hilarious how you think 'these people are screwed over more than us, therefore we should be happy' is a logical argument. There's always someone in the world who has it worse; just because they're screwed over x10 it doesn't mean being screwed over x5 is justifiable.
So no one would be willing to prove to me how easy it is? Gee what a surprise.
I personally don't think the gear grind should be a thing on the PvP side. But, on the PvE side, it's worth pointing out that end-game gear grind is one of the core PvE staples of nearly all modern MMOs. Working towards BiS is a key motivator that keeps people doing content on an on-going basis, which in turn helps newer players form parties to get their clears. I'm not saying it's the greatest model, and I definitely agree with playing content for the fun of it, but a lot of people seem to be driven by a feeling of being rewarded for doing content. If you remove the end-game gear grind, and so gut the demand for gearing-related items, what sort of rewards will be seen as valuable?
God, someone's cranky. Have you been asleep over the progression of this game or what? Since +15 was first introduced with gen/ren gear the incentive to pay to keep up has been there, it's obviously been a money stunt from the beginning, this should be a surprise to no one? This is a f2p game, has to keep afloat somehow. There's a reason equalized PVP became the new norm.
It shouldn't be achievable for everyone because it's the best stuff? VM1 wasn't achievable for everyone otherwise there wouldn't have been any money in selling quill runs. PVP was alive as ever despite the imbalance, people throwing their bodies into FWC desperately farming for their conjunct.
Yeah, someone who actually pays money and supports this F2P game financially gets things instantly, of course? Why are you complaining about that? Is this your first F2P game? You think this game survives on your sheer passionate feelings of entitlement? The difference is that ktera players have to swipe for so so SO much more compared to us and instead of whining all the time which you're clearly accustomed to perhaps try to see the greener grass and be a little grateful? The entire awakening system will be gone eventually, should be glad for that too.
You want VM handed to you? Go run rally and pray your little spoiled heart out for a box.
(the actual attitude that killed PVP is ktera players' low interest in PVP)
how was farming RG 16 times on each character for making gold hard
You literally have to have the current BiS gear, to do the dungeon you farm the current BiS gear materials, or else people dont take you cus they are too afraid of non existant dps checks
like!!! you don't even need to set foot in vshm for vm mats!!! wait until events hand it to you, run the jackpot bgs!!!! we're so spoiled it's mind-boggling!!!
"you wont be doing much more than doing solo content" what?!!??! 95% of the current content is for mid-tier players?!! are you high?!?! there's more mid tier content on the way!!!
i need a nap. ya'll are too much. go play ktera ya big babies.
A nice way to make friends with people in Tera is to run content with them. Now if you're trying to join a group via LFG in hopes of meeting new friends, then i wish you good luck. Because if anyone with that big and shiny +15 weapon applies to the same party, guess who they will take with them
1000$ is nothing, you see the reward credits in game? The highest tier is to have spent 10k on the game. They actually have a tier for it, and some people will have you believe it was all for costumes and not a p2w mechanic at all.
whats even worse is how being Tier 10 literally prints money consider how many reward credits you get every day
Like, to each their own; if being BiS and perfectly rolled during every patch is your deal, then I hope you have tons of fun doing that! Trying to make sure the orange on my cheer outfit matches my hair is my idea of fun, so I'll stick to my guns and keep farming bams on the IoD to get gear, lol.
kTERA's situation compared to ours sucks, yes, But I've yet to meet a Korean-based MMO/mobage that didn't have some asinine amount grinding at some point in getting from 1 to level cap and then another at level cap. And hey, I also play Granblue Fantasy, so Japan isn't excused either! I just assume players either make time or start budgeting, if you ride that updraft.
loyality to their waifu
or because too many video game is too much for them
or it is only a little hobby
or a good reason to no spend 1000$ in cigarette or alcohol
i think elinlove has spent 3000$ in tera
personally i only spend 400$
You have a point there. I also think spending $1000 on Tera is a better investment than cigarettes or alcohol. Since I'm also into anime, etc., most people think that I throw my money away on useless things.
I've spent a bit of cash here and there, just not to that extent. I guess I don't love my elins enough
