With this new announcement about the changing of the TP shop cosmetics to a system like what Nexon and Blue Hole Studio does with their outfits it really seems to me and other people I have talked with that IMC is trying to milk this game for all its worth. I know the ploy of gachepon style boxes being added into the game and it is just an attempt to get the most money out of the players as possible.
It already is pretty expensive already to buy the outfits but now you are spending less TP but you will mostly getting outfits you cant use and you can either sell them on the market or trade them in for coins that can only be used to get outfits from the exchange shop. From experiences with other games that do this sort of scam the amount of coins you need to get the outfit you want will be a lot more actual money than buying the outfit outright as it is right now.
Of course this system is made to get the whales (people who will spend exorbitant amounts of money) to try cash in as much as they can to get the one outfit they really want. This though makes it so other players who donât have the funds that whales have either having to pay the whaleâs price for the outfit out of the market or just go without it. This makes pay to play even a bigger part of the game then already is and serves to alienate players who donât have the funds to participate and lead to gaps in competition in pvp and world bosses. The whales will have money to buy the best gear and max attributes making it so that everyone else will never get into top 6 for damage or last a second in TBL.
My final note is as of this announcement I will suspend buying anymore TP from the game relying on just farming in game currency to buy my tokens. If they rescind such policy I will once again buy TP so to get outfits and tokens but I can not tolerate spending any money on this game with this gambling process being part of it. I encourage other players to do the same.
TLDR- This game is jumping the shark adding a gambling system for cosmetics that creates a bigger pay to win gap between players who have and donât have money.
