How many years did that bow stay relevant? How many years did it stay 2nd to relic? 5? 6? 7? 8 years?
How many years did RELICS stay BEST IN SLOT? 8 ? 9? 10 years?
How many years does my myth tome/relic +1 stay relevant? 3-4 months? 6-8 if a new tier is every other content patch like 2.0 - > 2.2?(Yoshi-p stayed content patches will be every 3-4 months) Then how many months does it take to gear up a single job in myth gear? 4-5 months? Hmm, so by the time I gear up a single job, maybe two, in myth tome gear the gear becomes outdated because a new tier of gear is introduced. Then I have to do the same LONG BORING RESTRICTED GRIND all over again.
That's horrible design, I'm also not going to support a company, or pay $13-$15 per month to be restricted with how many times I can play and how often(coil lock outs) per week, or how fast I can gear up my classes(myth tome caps), and not be able to play the game as much as I want despite paying MONTHLY to play. That's BS, grade A BS.
I expect better from a pay to play MMO, hell, I've never played a free to play MMO with such insane time-gated gear or dungeon lock outs, why should I be ok with it in a game I'm paying monthly for?
A free to play MMO, named elsword, with stamina limiting how often you can play, lets me play the best most challenging/fun content for over 10x longer than this game does for week. I can do dungeons for over 5 hours PER DAY, yet in this game, a game I'm paying for, I can do 3 hours of dungeons(1 hour of coil, 2 of others for myth tomes) before I stop gaining progress, and I can only do 1 hour of the only fun/challenging content PER WEEK before I can't again. I can spam the hardest dungeons in elsword for over 5 hours PER DAY and constantly get more money, more gear, and constantly progress my char at my own rate and I'm paying $0.00/year, yet a $13-15/monthly sub game limits me over 10x more than a free to play game? The best part: On weekends there's NO stamina limit and I can play literally for 48 hours straight farming as much gear and money as I want upgrading my characters gear as quickly as I want and maxing out how fast I want every single weekend, as well as collecting stamina potions which allow me to play even longer on weekdays. Take that in for a moment, and realize how HILARIOUS that is.
If crystal tower has a weekly lock out per character, or PVP gear is myth tome time-gated token based per character, me and my significant other are OUT.
