Yes and all the time we got an increase in sub..so imo we should have gotten all these changes on top of the basics..honestly the game seemingly runs so good that its a large part of the income for SE..yet we are forced to lose basics like dungeons to get some other necessary changes?

No all of those should have been on top of that..



Honestly I am fine if people spend their money on cash shop (I did it too in the past until it got too much) but I agree...instead of just saying: I bought it because I wanted it some seem to want to give some strange reasons..as if deep down they dont feel that good about just spending money for it..

You know if you search on youtube for "Lets go whaling" with the CEO Torulf Jernström, you find a whole video done about how they use the people (in their view whales) to make money. You know what one of his points is? That a company should tell the people that they are supporting the devs and the game with it and that its necessary because of costs..yet he says that this is a complete lie..this is only to make people think that they are helping..instead its just about earning the most amount of money.

So yes you are free to spend your money as you want and I would not fault you for it. But lets not pretend that this isnt just done to get the company more money..
Right, because there's total correspondence between a loan shark and a simple offer of "I give you an item, you give me money in return". I feel like SE actually does these on purpose so that the obvious outraged crowd can crawl out of the woodwork with their manufactured outrage and get schooled by any other average player. Oh wait, I mean any other whale.

"All the time we got an increase in sub" - when were those exactly? Because I've been playing since early HW and I'm still paying the same sub. Google doesn't show anything about sub rises. And the regional pricing are completely different matters.

And now we've gone into "buying 1 mount means you're a whale" again. Because I'm sure SE is releasing enough mounts for a steady income...

PSA - spending 1 cent in the cash shop means you're now a whale and you should just take harassment from freeloaders and shut up.
