    I didn't even bat an eye, mostly because that amount seems more or less what people spend in f2p games on an annual basis

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    I seriously doubt most players would spend more than $20 per year on a Free to Play game, it must be just a few in their players base throwing cash at them!...


    $2.6K is insane and I don't think there's a single player willing to pay that much for everything!...

    I did put more than 20$ a year in free to play and even pay to play games (BDO, ESO).

    Mind you that was just adding up every single item in the mogstation, this does not include how many repeated item purchases needed if you wish to spend money for single-character items on all alts, or some people's Fantasia addictions.

    I should probably bring up a few cases I've seen (I'm looking at you Eve Online) where some guy spent an average of $3000 per ship. I have no idea how often they were destroyed, as each time you lose a ship, it's gone for good.

    One of the other games I used to play (Grand Fantasia) was also notorious for pushing gambling and almost got me terribly hooked on it due to one single mount I badly wanted. At one point there were a handful of people during a contest that had spent upwards of 20k cash that ended up causing not only the publisher at the time to get into serious trouble (Aeria Games), but caused a ton of distress among the rest of the populace. I myself spent around 9k for that event and I honestly regret doing so, as it made me hate gambling and realize how addicted I got.

    Then came their short-lived version of Queen's Blade. I remember poking back into the AGE game list one day and saw they had a $1000 starter package as featured. Why oh god why.

    This game's cash shop and Neople's shop for the current version of Dungeon Fighter Online are among the least offenders I've seen so far in the MMO market.

    AGE's published are a super bad feeling addiction and I'm glad you broke it. Remember Eden Eternal? I used to play that. Refresh my memory but didn't they have a monthly cash shop package where the lowest one was like, idk, 30 bucks and the highest 100? And that too had all sorts of gachapon. Then inside the game, they had like lottery system where you had to buy this token thing and play it and hope you luck out on the first prize (which was usually a mount).

    Korean mmos are scary shit, especially for players who are brand new to mmos or just recently started exploring the waters. You'll keep spending and spending and you won't even realize how much you are to the point where your annual spending on the game feels like normalcy.

    They did, and I remember seeing those on their splash pages. A few people that played with me in GF went there and realized how horribly dependent it was on the cash shop, and tried to grind it out before quitting and moving on to other games. I never played the game since I felt so sickened after the GF fiasco that I personally limited myself to how much I can spend a month on games.

    DFO I know limits how much you can spend on the game in a day, meaning you can't drop hundreds of dollars on it in a single run. I'm kinda surprised some other games haven't adopted said method to help not only protect the company, but protect the consumer.
