1 Day Shape Changer Grow TERA give me my gold back
This was supposed to be a fun experiment that basically ended in being an experiment in how to throw away your gold the fastest.
As I applied the 3 1 Day Shape Changer Grows, one after the other, I noticed almost nothing whatsoever from the first, a little bit more than I had on the second, and the most on the third, but each time I really felt I had hardly seen any difference.
In the end I did the following test next to my twin, who is the same character height as me, normally.

the image link tool doesn't seem to be working nor does the bulletin brackets so i'll just post a link to the pic here as well

FROM LEFT: Control (my normal height, +0 shape changer), +3 x 24hr Grow, +1 hr Grow, +2 hr Grow, +3 hr Grow
I went to a dungeon, came out. Saw the buff was still there, but wasn't even sure if it was on. I had to stand next to my known twin to figure out I was DEFINITELY bigger. I guess I just don't really understand the point of this - what's the point of it and why is it so expensive for something that's so unfun. And why is it named Shape changer Grow, as the other one is, and basically worded the exact same way so that it might appear to deliver the same height per stack, but does nada.

Why anyone would want to spend 16k to be a tiiiiiny little bit bigger for 24 hours baffles me and it seems completely useless
I can't imagine they ever get bought except by people like me, expecting them to actually do something noticeable. Why introduce a new, completely unused and useless novelty item in the game who's only purpose seems to be to trap people into spending gold?
Call my point a critique. Call it a whinge. Call it a warning?
