    No doubt in my mind that the whales have an inside track to what is being sold.

    P2W... lol. there is an entire list of legendary items and far more than those that are unlisted. Some items are powerful because they are bugged, some have sick synergy with another item, and many were created by GMs before there was much item oversight and sold. Since then, lower profile whales have bought and sold them for at least 20k, often more. Far fewer items like these boots go out now. They completely restrict advantage to this one of numerous capped hunting zones. But yes, the sky is falling. It's not like there were already four sk 506 items (far more mechanically powerful) dating back over a decade or anything.

    Speaking of winning, how exactly do you win gemstone? Do you kill critters faster than the person next to you? DEAR GOD we cannot have that. But wait, we already do, and you don't have to pay for it. Watch a stock bard blow shit up in vanilla 5x gear with impunity if you don't believe me. If killing stuff is winning (it's not), here's the crazy part, you don't even have to buy any gear! Ever see me put up a chunk of silvers for sale? That's cause I don't. I'm not farming. I play my char with good gear because i want to. It has zero effect. I'm not singlehandedly depressing the loot tables, and even if i did, the people in other hunting grounds would just see more loot. Am I stealing dev resources over a pair of custom coded boots? lol k.

    I also love the soft paternity regarding gambling being expressed. There was no probability. The boots came up for sale and I bought them. You wouldn't spend that much? cool story?

    This post is built on a shitton of salt and fearmongering. If Warclaidh quit TOMORROW do you think his shit wouldnt be instantly scooped up by a score of thirsty whales?

    This game is F2W (yes, free to win, be a new player, roll a bard and ask any whale for some 5x gear and they'll hand it to you). What you might be mad about is that certain builds and items kill stuff better than the ones you want to use or for a price you dont want to pay, nor do you have to.

    And if people want a good example of Pay2Win, go check out Spellbound.

    100k BS there does FAR more than those silly boots. But no one wants to talk about that because they can actually afford Spellbound, and they don't want to have to give up their own Pay2Win strategy.
    EXCEPT YOU CAN'T USE THEM IN THE RIFT UNLESS YOU HAVE THESE BOOTS
    No, I am not Drauz in game.

    Imagine being pretty much the main reason Simu is still solvent and being despised/ mocked by the majority of the player base.

    We already have the equivalent of Chinese farming bots in GS. Just post an alt up outside the arena or sewers and log the names - some of them are there 24/7. Will the goose ever die? I don't know, but it has stage IV cloaca cancer and doesn't eat very healthy.

    I think he'd try to play it off. 'You're just jealous I dropped almost 30k on GS! Next time I'll drop 40k just to show you!' Oh no, don't do that. Anything but that.

    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    p2w is where a consumer pays $ for an in-game advantage. Those boots are the very definition of p2w. So is pretty much everything at DR, the Simucoin store, etc.

    Yeah... I love how he justified it's nothing to them, I found many reasons to justify dropping 70k at a casino one weekend. Could.i afford it, sure. Was it fun , yeah.

    Was it a stupid decision, absafuckinglootly

    He immediately bid on the item. There was no way he didn’t know that this was being auctioned beforehand.

    Funny thing is there was at least two people I know of waiting for it to hit 6m
