Ah I should of been clearer
When I said this I meant Itos.
In the past they said they would balance (skills and the like) separate from Ktos when players asked about skill balance. They then went to just copy/merge whatever happened in Ktos.
If a token user wanted to they’re free to make level 8 gems.
It cost about 4.8 Mil in materials for a Shining abrasive level 9.
230,700 exp if I’m not mistaken.
materials give 5 exp.
230,700 = 46140
Low end Materials range from 100-200 on the market place. That’s 4614000 - 9228000. Depending on your level of patience.
Yeah you can get that by selling Tokens for 2 mil a pop if you want to be disingenuous with me and split hairs quantitatively over what is and isn’t p2w. Shoot you can sell costumes for 3 mil.
"But this can get you more money"
That’s your grief? That you might make more than selling tokens so long as the cards fall in your favor?
What a load of crock. “No you make more!” who gives a fuk you’re still making loot from taking your hard earned cash or parent’s money and using it to turn a profit in game. Same deal if you buy enchant Scrolls or sell Costumes. That one option may be more lucrative than another? You already have these discrepancies.
Diamond Anvils in themselves are glorified trash, you still lose potential if you fail you’re just not losing the enhancement level.
This game is going to charge you money to be the best and if you don’t want to pay it you buy it from someone who has. This train isn’t ending. If you can’t make peace with how IMC has decided to run their business. Take a page out of my book. Dial back your investment into this game so that this crap no longer phases you or do something else with your time.
Guaranteed more grind is coming which will cause more things like this to be desired by the playerbase.
It’s like any of those deceitful F2p mobile games.
