No joke, only negative reviews, players leaving and paying players will stay…
These silver chests and P2W bracelets… What happened to staying away from P2W IMC? The gacha RNG was bad enough, but now you hide the P2W behind some fake wall.

Well it was P2W before… But this ups the frequency. 
You know… Players in this day and age understand the evils of F2P enough that they are willing to do subscriptions again at times. Especially older audiences. Look at FFXIV. I wouldn’t mind returning to that model where everyone just pitched in 15$ a month and there wasn’t any of these shenanigans.
Worse we’re seeing things like rare crafting materials put in these gacha boxes in Korea. Still kind of looming over us. I mean do I keep playing for a month or two waiting to see if the game goes full P2W with the 2nd generation gacha or do I just peace out now?
I’m guessing someone at the office did a projection based on kToS’s metrics to figure out how much more money they’d get and how much population they would stand to lose. Meh.

Is it your first? Cause this edgy comment is only made by people who have no ■■■■■■■ idea of MMORPG themselves 
I accept buy-to-play like Guild Wars too

How dare you are to compare ArenaNet with trash IMC? I don’t like GW2 by my personal preferences, but it’s great game and while you spending time in it you can feel how developers love their game. For fk sake you can buy tons of costumes in GW2 for price of one costume in ToS 
not to mention that this costumes can be used by any character on your account.

IMC has historically shown they don’t understand or don’t care about the differences between the Korean and Western audience. This kind of ■■■■ is par-for-the-course in Korean games, after all. Most sensible developers dial it back in the Western versions of their games because most of us genuinely hate this nonsense.

Basically what I want to say to IMC right now:

I think IMC did market research? Since asia has a bigger market share in terms of server population they probably think that implementing gacha is ok since most asians are tolerant or used to MMOs having this feature.
I’m saying it’s a mistake to bring it to the international version. We already know these things are fine in the Korean market, every damn Korean game has them, but it kills games for Western audiences.
doesn’t matter, SEA servers (and JTOS) are the most populated now. They love RNG loot and cash shops and they will carry TOS

That is my worry. I’m wondering if western audiances mean so little they don’t care. Like that 2nd gen gacha… Even if the SEA players say they’re used to it. It’d be a big hit against Klaipedia. Is Klaipedia alone going to be reason enough to get them to treat iToS differently?
Like that 2nd gen gacha cube. We need ways to get Pract if we don’t get that 2nd gen gacha cube. We aren’t going to be able to make equipment. The fix is as simple as adding it to a drop table some place but is IMC even going to bother since we share servers with SEA and they stand to gain more from selling P2W to SEA…

They could add the cube to the game and make it obtainable in some way that isn’t TP. Like as a reward for Fedimian missions, maybe you get 1 shard from Fedimian mission cubes and can reroll them, with X shards to craft the cube. Sortof like what they did with Saalus to keep it relevant.

they should had made talt or some other item dropped from dungeon cubes to be exchangeable for gear. At least it ensures some gear reward after a fixed amount of runs instead of 3 months of rushes without peta drop etc.
