SE, if you're that desperate for money...

When will you jump out?

Soon if they keep this up. Its actually insulting to already pay a sub and expect to get more on top for something so retarded as retainers.

Sadly, too many blind followers of SE who think every idea they have is gold, and we should be thankful they even allow us to pay them.

Lol at thinking this is going to break the economy, its the same as now, you know have to level the retainers, only people that are going to be super dedicated to leveling retainers up to a point of even getting good ingredients will really have an impact on the economy, it really isn't going to be that many, and the amount of people that dedicated to level up more than two for this, is even lower. Even if the entry cost of leveling retainers is low, its shown you give people some mundane easy grind, and still most people won't do it. How many people are really going to sit there, and make sure their retainer is out for ventures at every possible time period it can be, I really don't think that many.

If you really think this is going to introduce a pay to win mentality, leave, but if you stay you'll know you're wrong. I bet you within 2-3 months of this, the only thing this is going to have an effect on is low level ingredients, why does anyone care.

Just another "omg I'm so dramatic , lets fear monger about nothing" thread in reality. Having actually seen pay to win games, I must ask if many of you have? DCUO was an awesome game with a sub, when it went f2p they limited the amount of end game you could do per day on a free account, and added the option to either pay a sub to get unlimited (which I'm cool with) or buy tokens to enter said end game individually (pay to win), it ended up really geared out people were just people with more irl money to burn, instead of the grind it took while it was a sub'd game. That's pay to win. Buying an extra retainer, to hold items, and potentially gather things after leveling them up, is barely pay to win, its like pay for comfort of life, but barely pay to win.

As I see it we all pay a sub, and we all have the same access to content, nothing is forcing you to pay more money to actually access content it takes to play this game. So its not pay to win. Pay to win, is where when you pay extra irl money, you gain access to more content, quicker content, easier content, or can do the content more times. This is just retainer ventures, its not game breaking content, no one is making you cough up more money so you can spam coil, or get more than one ex primal weapon a week. Just like no one is asking you to buy said material/ crafted items from these players, you could always do it yourself and take the power out of their hands.
