They are concepts I would like this game to avoid in general. Consider them a measuring stick when evaluating what incentives you should steer clear of when promoting this game.

But some people could care less I suppose.
You mean when promoting a game that has a lot of work and changes ahead of it and they could use extra money to fund?

"Come get an exclusive mount" VS. "Come play this game, but don't get used to it... it's going to completely change"


Now at 2.0 I'd hope (keyword hope) they use things like "Completely overhauled Battle System, Completely overhauled Map design, Completely Overhauled <insert everything here>, Brand New <end game content here>"

But right now... a free goobbue and trying to attract 'collectors' is what they are going for.


Your sight is short, imo.
