It is. We're not complaining much about the dragons themselves, is about being told lies. EME said that both type of Dragons will be in game, and we'll be able to obtain them freely. Now after a month of "fixing some issues", we get the weakest dragons on RNG clusters, and if you ever have played some RNG in game, you'll now that it sucks.
Someone did the maths, and for 7 eggs/claws, we need to farm for 2 months straight, that means 6 HM dungeons EVERY DAY, for a non-Royal Dragon, that's a spit on their players' faces, because what they said and what they're doing is not the same, even if they both (Treeshark and Spacecats) said that more than once (Screenshots are already in topic).
Both dragons (Iron and Crimson) are non-bankeable nor tradeable, and we get that point (Kinda), but they're not the royal dragon, so, why? Why a healer should farm for so long for the 'common' dragon that he must RNG for 2 months and half to get enough claws for a 'higher' chance of getting it? Why should we pay for getting the Royal version of the free dragons? Diamond and Ghost were the payable versions of Dragons, that's why they didn't delay them, and were aviable in TERA store for almost a whole month, and now Royal Iron/Crimson are also P2W?
even tho i dont care for the crit stat and only want the dragon for looks this is a pretty [filtered] move i admit. I honestly see no point in making non royal dragons rng or even not bank/tradeable. Royal dragons cost 400k+ gold currently (maybe lower im not sure as i only watch trade chat for costume sales mosty) and thats crazy, especially since the crit chance is a chance and not a static boost. Also yeah poor healers AND especially having to grind HM dgns not only that but THE NEW ONES. Im sure EVERYONE is gunna have a blast in there.

Seems regardless of what you said, I was right and understood well.... you want to make this game P2W.
pay to win (p2w) is defined as having to pay with real currency, in order to receive some type of advantage in game. almost always directly associated with combat. crit and crit power and two of the most important stats for any tank or dps class. even arguably important for a healer but to a lesser extend. not only did you implement a crazy difficult to farm system stacked on rng. you have removed the ability to have "equal" rewards via ingame and the tera store.
1.5 does not = 2.0
how do yall suppose this is a "good" decision? a great deal of your player base are likely to become disgruntled. bams while not super fast would have allowed people to grind them in-between dung and likely gotten the pets within a day or two. some rather enthusiastic players maybe even get multiple in a day. they were all tradable, as a priest main its not so fun farming bams, that's what I have alts for that can manage some dps. you even took it one step further and locked it behind 5 of the highest end dungeons in the game. then rng rolls were added in as well as daily limits, ensuring almost completely that it would take months PER character to receive even one dragon much less in the "color" you had wanted. you removed the ability to trade or bank them, leaving is no choice but to gear specific chars that want them in order to get them. you arnt even offering a royal version at all. I understand its yalls prerogative to do as you please because its your company, but I for one am disappointed to the point of bewildered here.
I have not been a long time player of tera as some others but im very glad I held off till the new patch to buy up some elites because I wont be dropping a dime till this is changed, and personally if it holds steady with this difference in power between tera store and ingame rewards ill likely take my business elsewhere. I enjoy the priest class here but I wont play an unbalanced game, it just isn't fun for me. this dragon item because of the power involved with its occasional buff is enough to cause unbalance. I hope you take some of this into consideration during your next meeting. have a nice day.
And I repeat my question again cause it's obvious that Tera isn't as good as it used to be anymore....and it's not the best mmo available anymore...not to me at least.
I'm tired of BHS lies and bad decisions led by greed.
I'm not complaining about dragons either, I'm upset cause the game keeps getting worse due to these things, I've seen lots of players and friends quitting cause of so much similar crap that happened to this game and this is just another water drop in a vase where water keeps overflowing ; the developers keep sinking the game by themselves and they don't even seem to aknowledge it.
I'm not blaming EME for what happened even though they did illude us that we were going to get the same mount version via grinding....and this was totally false already, I'm blaming Blue Hole for introducing mounts with these passives in first place....I think we all saw this coming after all.
They are generally already kinda Struggling with keeping the game up... Compared to the days of the Steam release the Population has drastically dropped.
To Cope with those losses and Bills they have to find ways to make money... Yes it may be unfair compared to KTERA But understand, KTERA is doing very well with a Healthy active Population... compared to NATERA anyways.
So basically its like hey this Mount should have been an EME Store Exclusive but nonethless it can be obtained in the game freely.
If you want the RNG Wars to end tell your friends about TERA get more people to play... then more people gaming and paying Elite Status will put them in a situation where they dont need to take RNG things to the extreme...
Or make it a P2P Game... Of Course none of you want that.
Try and name another game decently done, F2P and still not P2W.
BDO is P2W, BnS is super grindy and stupidly managed, RoI is almost the same (and seems ultra old graphics wise).
