I mean- There were events you could've taken advantage of (MONGOOOOOO) and if you missed it, well too bad. But that doesn't deter you from not being able to gear yourself with VM. Getting mid-tier gears is quick and easy and from that is all about how you plan out on making gold and grinding out those enchantment mats. SSNM is able to be run with Slaughter and from that you already can run other dungeons like MM to get more mats. Putting in 2-3 hours a day doing vanguard/SSNM/MM could probably get you what you need and then all you need to do is run SSHM for the designs. That at the most only takes about at least 2 weeks of grinding if you are on everyday doing that. +15ing the gear depends on your RNG, my rates were 20-43 tries each because I was kind of lucky, and no, I didn't have time to take advantage of Mongo event. lol
Population is at an all time low. For a few reasons, but a major one being that they took out content (ds3) and added in a 1-day a week conflict that didn't work for 3 weeks. This left extremely easy dungeons (dfnm,dfhm,ssnm) and sshm all of which have basically no drops so once you have title might as well farm vanguards or do something else.
Upcoming content is re-hashed dungeon from 3 patches ago (which imo is too soon). Especially with 3 back to back perimos dungeon patches.
There are currently paywalls for passive pve buffs, they keep promising a non pay-option but were are at week 4. Theoretically at the end of the month, but in eme time that's really the new year.
Gear can be bought with gold and some rng - this is has been in place since the beginning tho so nothing new - however the new events give smart box boe of the BIS gear.
Class balance is heavily weighted to new class, current flavor of the month = ninja, upcoming flom = sorc.
New patch is coming in roughly 2-3 weeks, but we never know exactly when. Usually the day before the update.
Back in the VM1 and VM2 days you just needed a skilled team and a few hours per week to get BiS gear. Heck I was rather casual and had BiS on a couple of alts back then. Now it is near impossible between patches.
The only money I have spent on Tera is for Elite, I don't know how you managed to get the idea that I sell EMP.
just because you don't know how to make gold other than spending IRL money on EMP to sell, grind dungeons for vanguard credits or have bad RNG and cant +15 doesn't mean its "p2w" to +15 I've played this game for just over 1 year and I've been able to +15 my whole SF set and soon IMP set without spending a dime on this game, don't put your short comings on to other people because you want to have everything handed to you with minimal effort compared to people that put more effort in to the game.
There is no p2w wall, if you think there is you're just bad at your class or you run with bad people.
The population has always been "low" according to the forums, anytime people talk about population it's always "low" and the game is "dead", even back when the population was supposedly "higher" people on forums still said it was "low" and the game was going to die by the end of next year. This is why asking the forums about population, or even most things, is always pointless.
I have several +15 pieces on more than 1 character, have funded other people's +15 Imperator as well, along with paying for other people's expensive cosmetics and mounts. I did not make any gold off EMP to accomplish this originally. I had not personally spent a penny on Tera until a couple months ago as well. I don't even do the whole play the broker thing much either, or really try to make gold. I don't even have a ton of gold to begin with.
Maybe you can't, but that's your fault, and nothing to do with "pay to win". Is EME or BHS really at fault that some of you don't know how to manage your gold or resources? You remind me of those people who blame governments for being "poor" when they have over priced iphones and fancy cars.
Being hardcore doesn't mean you will get best in slot if you don't make proper use of your time.
The community doesn't want balance anyways. They want what ever class they play to be over powered and BHS will keep buffing and adding new abilities to satisfy the people playing their classes.
you think i cant +15 my new set gear because I cant? I could +15 the whole set if i wanted but i choose not to because I already have +15ed the weapon and im going to get the new vm8 set to +15, how does that prove DVSV's point??? explain?
Being able to +15 and not and then trying to get everything handed to you because you're unable to use your time in the game efficiently to get the materials to +15 is not my problem, its yours and yours alone.
