SE - Default 3rd Retainer before Fees

[PlanckZero]

That would be fine of retainers were not going to get minions, and other items, exclusive to ventures.

Dear god, you mean you finished your time machine and rather than immediately going back to stop Hitler you decided to check in and tell us all about the awesome stuff retainers can get through their ventures?

You monster.

And yet people are falling all over themselves for a 1 time use potion to be added to the mogstation for real money.



Yes, but where does it say it will offer GAME BREAKING AND CHANGING items? You know, to completely KILL THE BALANCE of the game if you don't buy additional retainers?

The items are rare drops from high level ventures only. Having more retainers allows more ventures per day. An advantage does not need to break the game to still be an advantage. Also, this is just the beginning. All companies use minor things like this to determine how much they can push players later. Look at the 360 day reward. It's 50 free aetheryte teleports. That is exactly the kind of thing cash shops use.

Maybe SE will add those as well. Maybe they won't. But the more people buy form the cash shop, the more SE will add. It's simple business.

Say you had a lemonade stand and decided to sell cookies on the side: No one buys the cookies. do you continue to make them? No.

Say lots of people bought the cookies? Would you expand the number of cookies you sold, or would you say, "I think my cookies are selling well enough. I'll just stop there."?

And guess what, someone with 2 retainers will have access to the same exact minions and items as someone with 3 and having that third retainer won't give you more credits to initiate more ventures either.

This isn't "Hahaha if you want to participate in this content then give us more money! Otherwise no access for you!".

This is "Hey, if you want to spend a bit more then we'll give you this minor convenience that most people don't fully utilize anyway."

Going by that logic experience boosts for gathering/crafting/grinding, and perhaps luck boosts (so that the item you're grinding for has a higher chance to drop) could also be sold in a cash shop. A leg up, even if it's just a minor convenience, is a leg up.. and lots of people avoid F2P, and choose subs instead, to avoid people being able to pay for a leg up.

No Hitler means no World War 2, and without the war, America stays in the Great Depression even longer, the war was the start of women pushing into the workforce and equal rights, many technological and medical advances were made because of the war, and no Hitler means no Hitler cat memes.
Why do you hate America, women, advancement of human kind, and cats?

You monster.
