Cash shop confirmed

[RinchanNau]

Here is the issue with cash shops. Say if Jhony Joe has been grinding Titan EX for the rare mount that has a really low drop rate. He spends weeks or even months trying to get it and it finally drop's. Then 2.4/.5 comes out and a cash shop is added to the game and suddenly Sally Sue can get the exact same item that Jhony Joe got in less then fifteen minutes or so.

They already said they were increasing drop rates on those mounts which also devalues that Titan ex mount that someone RNG'd so hard for. Not the same as paying but both result in devaluing the *potential* work it took with the initial RNG drop chance.

Was that confirmed? They mentioned that atmas and mirrors but I thought they brushed off the mount aspect with no response.

Yes, all primal EX mounts have had their drop rate increased in 2.4. By how much? Who knows.

GOTTA UNSUB NOW. Ran Garuda ex a few hundred times for the mount. Still haven't gotten the Titan ex one with a few hundred clears. I just won't stand for this increased drop rate. Waaaah.

That's the sort of thing I'm hearing in this thread. Really, it's not that big a deal. Not pay to win, not a big deal.

Just because the work is less does not mean that a player did not work for it.
Simply buying it is not putting in any work whatsoever.

Perhaps they worked for that money? 30 min to an hour at their job is work even if it isn't in game. :P

There is a difference between increasing the drop rate for the item in-game and selling it in an item shop. One is okay because it means that the mount is more likely to drop. The other isn't because if someone looks up how high the drop rate for the mount or item is in the game and realizes they can save themselves weeks worth of potentially painful grinding, they will opt for the easy way to get it, which decreases item value.
