The only real thing I'm basing this on is when people were accusing Simu of some P2W bullshit with enchanting (I can't remember specifically what it was offhand), Naos responded with some shit like "If I find out that XYZ is being done this way in order to make it P2W then I'm out." I wanna say it was something to do with potions and DR but I don't give a shit enough to remember.
Pretty sure Naos hates the entire P2W concept (at least until he gets in on it, probably) and the truck stop casino that the game has become.
It was in regards to the increase in difficulty for a lot of items, especially the difficulty in farming essence before they made the change to get static on kills, with the new system, and equating that as a conspiracy to force people to buy enchant certs / limitbreaker potions from DR.
But it all seems like a bunch of crocodile tears. Because Estild said the same thing and that motherfucker just used a monk spell slot to sell an SK item. So fuck both of them.
I lost all faith in Naos as an effective game developer when he said he tested nu-enchant 1.0 essence generation by running on a script casting spells on a capped wizard set to have unlimited mana and it took 8 hours to cap, so he felt the system was reasonable.
like...what? But I mean, he made alchemy so it shouldn't really be a surprise.
