No need to thank me, to me TERA is very far from being p2w, I've come from Aion and Lineage 2, places where you can buy items in the money store that increase your stats, epic jewelry that only drops from rare boss monsters and you need full guild to clear, and items to improve your probability of enchanting gear, so it wasn't surprising seeing a credit card warrior with his gear enchanted to let's say +20 (lineage 2 has a lower treshold but not aion) and a normal player with tons of luck and tons of grind could get his gear to +5, oh not to mention some items only available from cash shop, and even if you could buy some of those items from broker the prices were equivalent to months of grinding gold (or to be more precise in lineage 2 adena; in aion kinah [nyerk]).
So imagine what happened when one of those guys pvped a guy that didn't put rl money on the game (I'll say it for the slow ones, ONESHOT from an autoattack is what happened).
Still I wanna leave clear that I'm not against cash shops since in part it's what keeps the game running.
