What will Simu do without the whales?

[Gelston]

Exactly. Typically p2w just means you pay more money to get the benefit now, while everyone else has to devote time before they get the same benefit. But with these items lately there is no "Oh you'll get it someday, little guy!" It's more like "Okay these are the select few we have decided to cater to. Everyone else can piss off and hope they can receive an RPA someday, maybe."

That is what n00bs call P2W. Real P2W is in competitive games where you literally can't lose when you fight against someone who pays less. GS doesn't really have shit to win, so really, it is just pay to lose here.

I bought the boots. My custom title for a while has been Rift Adjudicator, and yes my char is completely based around the rift. I'd rather own them than a mid-low end BMW. They bring me far more joy on the daily. I regret nothing.

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.

a "used"mid-low end BMW.

FTFY. You aren't finding any new low-mid BMWs at 28k.

I for one have decided that it ruins my life that now you fry in 2 minutes 36 seconds instead of 2 minutes 42 seconds pre-boots.

Here is the next big item for you:



Rub it 1x a day to increase the size of your obviously tiny penis.

Within the past 12 months, Wyrom mentioned in discord that because of how poorly Paladins and later Monks were received the Savant project had been indefinitely shelved. It's never going to happen.

So, Dev drops the ball on new professions released and people don't enjoy some of the aspect of them and it's the player's fault that the professions weren't well received.

....Hmmmm....Yep, sounds like Wyrom thinking to me - not Dev's fault. Players suck. Screw what they want and add things to the P2W aspect.

I am excited people love this game enough to spend money on it. I am convinced the only reason Simu doesnt publicize it more is that events like DR would be instantly ruined by Chinese farming bots and kill the goose

The farmers are already here. They may not be chinese but they still exist. Look at some of them panicking and selling bs for as low as 3.3 per k this run. Wasnt a lot at that rate, but some did hit it.
