Yes. It was good playing this game first as a casual gamer. And as a casual gamer, I of course preferred a free2play game. (Mind me say there was several choices and games going free2play. Lucky me.)
So yes, people had been quitting. Not because of low lv cap, it is a new game. And don't even think people were only waiting new updates. Yes some of them but some of them quits, especially since now there is lots of free fishes on the market.
"No! You don't have to pay! Look you can have ADs by completing lots of dailys and change them to Zen."
Ok. Stop there. As I said, I am a casual gamer now. People who play free2play games are either casual players or under-aged kids who can't get their parents credit cards. Not even one single people whom their computer can support this game will have money issues. Yes, I chose a free2play game because I won't have much free time later during my busy weeks, and yes if I wasn't a casual player I wouldn't play a free2play. Because I don't like pay2win.
No I don't really like seeing someone pass me with their %110 when I have to dodge mobs to cross the map so I can do it in a little time. No I am not about the looks. They can well as drive a dragon and I wouldn't care as long as I could get a ****ty looking maybe not %110 but %100 horse too.
"You can still get it!"
Stop there. I am a casual player but how casual you can be if you are playing a MMO. Yes, I have time. At the moment, not for long appearantly but still I am in a look for a game I can return to after I am done with my busy times. And mind me say, I am not good with the idea of harvesting Astral Diamonds for hours. I am here for fun, what I am looking for is a gameplay. Rather than doing such a thing like I would well as watch a movie or read a good book. I would rather spend my time leveling or join a dungeon if I wish so.
There is a difference between having an acces to features which usually sold by money and features cannot be sold by money only gameplay. Yes, even mmos with monthly fees had also extra features you could get by paying. But sorry for getting used to get the most envied features in return to my gaming skills and long raids. Not that I got the best in other games, there were equivalent paid ones but many got them and they were more common as mine still despite of having same features it was more rare because of that.
! So cons list for this game that will cause of losing people as long as you don't fix them. In my view of course.
* Mounts and Companions
As I said having an access to zen is a different thing. I am not opposing of idea about paying zen for costumes, mounts or other. But there should be ways to get equivalent mounts and companions. Keep the most cool looking for zen, I am not waiting much for that matter. If not mounts to %110, but there should be another access up to %100. (People who pays zen get %110 anyway. AD changers are buying mounts up to %100 anyway and they would be even happy with that change.
Advice: Seals. I have never bought even one item with those low seals. Because AD is more cheap usually. I coul find rare equipment for 100-200. Add mounts to seal purchases. Rank 2 mounts for 40 lv seals. Rank 3 mounts for 50 lv seals. Just paint the common horses pink and put them if necessary, I don't care about looks.
* Tokens
It is not a trouble of mine. But when new paragon paths will be introduced, then people will have a right to get mad. After new paragons, making them easily accessible also will make some more people mad again, because they paid it in the past. I would say you would have less concern if you make it now. Even who paid it can use it for trying new paragon paths just the sake for curiosity anyway.
Advice: which you should already hear by now. A one-time quest for 50-60 lvs. People already thinks it shouldn't be chargable. (Because mistakes are invedible.)
! Actually tokens might be even more important than mounts. Also didn't care about companions since I don't need them much. But those two, especially tokens are more serious problems to general and deserve more place. But that's as far as I can be for audience.
* Useless Nightmare Boxes. That doesn't trouble me much but still useless. Not only because you pay zen for keys, even zen payers think it is gambling and not worth it. Good concept but failed and useless.
* Almost forgot professions. It has a impression like it was just added to make people pay more zens. Because it takes billions to improve it unless you boast it. And not sure if true but I read about somewhere, It would take a half year to max a profession. Probably wrong but it will be what it is for me. Well, I like completing tasks in Leader more because at least it gaves me rare consumables, some money and exp. I already gave up levelling it. Worst profession system I've ever come across.
! Will add more if I missed any other. With a bad memory like mine, I probably did too.
