Just wondering, whether through silvers or TP shop (most likely). It’d be nice for newbies and older players alike to have the option of correcting past mistakes or being able to try out new stat distributions instead of having to recreate the same exact character. I’m sure many people would buy that in the tp shop.
I think a max lvl, one time, hard to complete quest would be way better, people who put some points wrong would have a reason to keep going as they could correct it and since its a one time thing you would have to think carefully before using it.
A TP Status reset is just too strong and would look like a money grab mechanic. I could just reset my char whenever i wanted to pvp or pve, be a tanker or a dps, almost any of my choices would have consequences, thats just P2W
Stat reset for silver could be a great idea for yet another silversink, the problem is the pricing. a price scaling with the characters current base level could be an idea i guess, but then it would have to be untradable even with team storage, because if we can trade it, lvl 10 character buys reset potion for lvl 280 char at severely reduced price.
"P2W"
You’ve got the wrong definition of pay 2 win there. P2W would imply that only through the cash shop you would have an unfair advantage over a player that has never spent a dime into the game. A stat reset potion doesn’t bring any more stats to your character, all it does is reset your stats to 0 to distribute the points back into another setup.
Anyone could achieve that without such potion (and thus spending real cash), provided they start a perfect stat build from the very beginning and be able to attain the exact same stats one would have by resetting at 200+.
So, the simple fact that you can attain the same result without spending a cent makes this a non P2W.
As for the pvp/pve? I’ve seen a lot of players have a different character to pvp with not just because of the stats but also because of the CLASS build. Somebody that’s serious about pvp will reroll another char to optimize his class build and not just his stats. In fact, it could actually let pve players that were shying away from pvp to try out their hand if they have extra cash, but if they have a class build that’s more focused on pve they won’t achieve the same results as the one guy that rolled a pvp focused class build.
Being able to switch from dps/tanker on the fly with a stat potion? Where’s the problem with that, again? Still not P2W, since somebody that doesn’t want to spend a cent on the game can still achieve the same results by having 2 characters.
Still not pay 2 win.
And if imc really want to be sure that there won’t be any complaints about a stat reset pot being p2w, they just have to make it tradable, like tokens.
Tokens would definitely be p2w if they weren’t tradable because they bring unfair advantages non paying players wouldn’t be able to ever get (movement speed, extra buff, trades…).
Stat reset pots would be a step forward to be more leniant to newbies and older players.
“Cash grab”
It’s unfortunate but a company can’t just run on good will, and being able to get more money by selling a new item that would attract a lot of attention will help them out. People that pay for tokens support the game, and it’d be no different for people that pay for anything in the cash shop. These players support the game so that the game can keep on going.

Scale the price with the highest leveled char on the account instead of the current character you’re using and make it untradable between players, problem solved.
So the skill reset portion we have in top shop isn’t p2w and stat reset will be? That’s absurd.

Indeed, by the logic of “Stat potion is P2W”, then so is the skill reset potion. Otherwise the logic doesn’t work and is not valid anymore.
