Riding the positivity train… hope that the new event brings IMC more budget to improve the game. (and yes, I’m just hoping here)
I’m a non-competitive semi-hardcore player, personally I don’t really care much about min-maxing nor getting top ranking in pve/pvp. I just play to enjoy. The thing which I care more about is more of the balance of the game, whether both paying and free to play players can get to enjoy the game without too big of a gap and the balance of the players against pve content.
Not everyone is like us able to fork out $ every month on a game. I dropped like 60-80 per month on the TP shop, mostly on costumes and tomes as I tend to reroll numerous times. This is something which I do to help a game which I enjoy.
Currently the item which kind of makes me have that unbalanced feeling is the Superior Psychic Band.

It is a bracelet which has +90 spr. It makes me realise 2 things, how important SPR is and how OP (overpowered) the 2 spr bracelets are when paired together. This makes me wonder the way IMC balance power between p2w items and items which are attainable by the non-paying masses. The gap of power between these bracelets and other P2W items is just too big. 90 stat per bracelet is nothing to scoff at. It will also make PVE content a lot easier for paying players to clear.
This is currently tested with my guildmate Gem who tried out 2x +90 SPR bracelets on his SPR priest. Look at the amount of resistance gain. I’ll try to see if I can find someone who has no invested SPR and splurged on the bracelets to test tomorrow.

How much SPR did he have? PvP Swordies will love this. 
The +20 stat necklace were kinda OK since we at least have something in-game that matches it albeit at a deficit. +90 is just f*cking OP though.
Good. More gachas for the rest of us.
If that happens count me in
I’ll let you know tomorrow, it 's nearing 3 am here and my friend has slept. And yes +90 is very OP. The TP shop necklace power level is still not too far of a gap, at least imo.
Edit: cross post the extra findings here.

Byebye!
Thanks for this thread!
While I agree that I am not to happy these items made it into ITOS, I guess I’ve gotten to where I am in game w/o them. Hell, my gear for the most part is sub-par mostly because I have 14 Alts, so my money has been spent across them.
As far as PvP is concerned I can see that side, but in the end (and in my opinion) pvp is an after thought. Something to do to kill some time for fun. There are so many better games for PvP.
Then we have the PvE side which again, hate to say it as much as I love ToS, there are much better alternatives as well, just none that fill the niche I’m looking for. Hence why I stick with ToS. I’ve had very little trouble getting to near 330 w/o these items. They seem like they’re nothing more then RNG convenience to me. Sure, they make things slightly easier, but again. It was never really hard to begin with.
Shrug
I understand peoples disappointment and I’ve always tried to stand in the middle on most things besides when the Hue-Brigade is just out for the lulz, but it all seems so; whatever.
nobody is going to miss you bye bye etc etc

Yup after this and the TP bug and absolutely no attempt of contact from the staff, I’m out too.
so many whiteKnight triggered keep denying the truth 
.tos is now p2w.
You cant quit when the game already dead, the game quit itself from you.
Who wouldnt guess the game made in patnership with nexon go p2w.Basically all of their mmo made based on p2w model.MMo is a dying genre and ■■■■ korean mmo, this sh!t is disgusting.
Realistically… I think you know which way we’re going next week. And it’ill be Klaipedia losing the most. Alienation of western audiences.
And if the 2nd generation cubes come well we may as well expect the same fate as IMC’s other P2W game: http://steamcharts.com/app/319730

I don’t know… It may not get that bad if they keep only the 1st generation. But I think Klaipedia will be taking a hit regardless just from the basic gacha.

Yeah it hurts… It sucks…
Though waiting now to see how far they take this gacha thing… It’s going to suck the most.
I expect to get the same feeling I had when I played other P2W games if they go full kToS here. Queue up for a dungeon, expect a bit of a hard fight. But then get a heavy P2W player and they carry. Not because they’re skilled or dedicated but because they paid the most.
There has to be something more then just paying money to be the best. At least for me or I just lose interest.
