Thats just a normal free to play business model??, if they weren’t going to have premium service token then they might as well just scratch “f2p” title all together and make it a subscription based game.
And its not that much of an advantage really, if there was a huge imbalance between people who spends money and who doesn’t then we would have a problem but as it stands you can easily acquire a token via silver.
I’m spoiled by guild wars.
In a couple of months people will have more established characters and the same grind/pay ratio is going to be pretty much the same.
I agree thank you to all the IMC staff working hard 
Nah that is the reason. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. When a guild manage to get 100k each person gem currency from duping APEX and never get banned, this made all those farming and trade packs that you did useless when those guys get rich for free. That’s what made most people quit, not because of the useless crap you’ve been spewing around.
Although some guys are dumb enough to get caught because they were streaming and talk about their profit.
Thank you IMC. 20 char restriction =_=.
Game is not p2w… YET. Becouse:
1 - no randon boxes in cash yet
2 - no cash armor\weapon yet
3 - no cash pases to cash dungeons with over10000000 rates, yet
A lot of moments that the game not p2w… yet. But it no time limits to make it be. About 6-9 months?
hold on to your balls , son
I appreciated about increasing monster respawn rate and fixing gold seller spaming global chat though.
There’s still a tons that need an improvement , this is just a beginning
Dude, of course I’m not aware of every tragedy that hit ArcheAge.
But to claim that’s the only “factual” reason the game died off like you did.
Is quite honestly dumb as nails.
You’re almost right except for the fact that new players can’t reach 500k easily, this barrier could make they drop out before getting there… for us on exclusive access pay 500k silver or even more is fine…
Then don’t spill nonsense crap you don’t even know just to backup your retarded argument on ToS. I’ve played AA since the alpha, I know what I’m talking about.
you joined feb 28 - how much experience you got with the game to tell that something small as token is p2w?
to tell you the most important use of silver right now - its skill enhancement but this is capped everyone will hit cap eventually and silver becomes useless again - why? cause theres no item worth buying anymore - so selling token in the early game is the only small advantage token sellers got - they should realise that 500k is worth nothing…thats the price for one-two enhancement out of 100 xDD wont get far with 500k and they wont rebuy stuff and rule the world cause…how? arde dagger for exmaple is 700k on orsha - how they wanna buy them all and rule the market? please enlighten me xD
New players, don’t need tokens. it really only becomes applicable at 150+ and by that time they are more then capable of farming silver for a token.
Give me one instance you have had to overly grind mobs / felt the need to trade something 50-
Same here sherlock, I’m well aware of why I stopped playing an my clan mates did.
Thank you IMC. Keep up good work.
Ignore that kid man, he don’t even know about the example he’s using, and now he wanna talk about ToS when clearly he doesn’t have any experience of the game. Next, he probably gonna use the fact that enchant scroll is p2w, when you can actually farm it from boss. Retarded.
Thanks IMC, please keep listening to the community. I’m sure nobody here want the game to be fked and dead =/
Archeage died the moment they posted thunderstruck boxes on the market.
My guild tagged 3 castles when they introduced auroria.
Few days later thunderstruck box appeared on the market.
Half of my guild quit the game, and afaik, the game quickly became a desolate place after that. But Trion didn’t give a flying f*ck, because they still had whales around.
About this much experience, most of it from the closed beta.
Anymore stupid questions & or accusations
Once someone has 200+ hours in the game, it’s fair to say they’re somewhat experienced.
You clearly have no idea how many tokens and how much money people will dump into the game, “xD” kiddo. I’ve known people who threw thousands of dollars into archeage for imaginary dominance over other people. Did 120 gold if they bought one token made a difference? No. Did 10k do if they swung their cards hard enough? Yup.
And the price of token will go up atleast tenfolds.
200 hours thats 2 weeks wow youre so experienced with the game - when clearly youre not otherwise youd know the value of silver in the game but sadly you dont - those who sell token right now are most probably newer player who got no idea what silver is even for or who buy some overpriced lv 75 equip and feel satisfied - even IF you spent all tp thats about 2.5m silver - i cant even enhance my skills much with 2.5m silver cause the price is so damn high and ive spent over 7m silver since the opening on skills ONLY and didn resell any token i sold drops + got about 800k silver by grinding each day - some of the silver went into sp pots or repair
