    Well, considering the cash shop items are already overpriced on MY-EN, they wont be any better here. As with most "Free to Play" games, they are created this way not for our benefit but the game developers benefit. A normal monthly fee for P2P games is 15 bucks. These games are designed to ensure people actually spend MORE than that, not less than that for gameplay.

    Can you play without every buying anything from the cash shop? Of course you can, but the game play is going to be a lot harder without Heirograms and Draco pearls. People will start selling these in game for game cash, and that will work out awesome until the hackers ruin the economy.

    Well we all know that some account sharers and botters/hackers will get away with it and cause the economy to crumble. What then happens to the cash shop items being sold? Skyrocketed prices. If the cash shop is overpriced I'm sure a lot of players will just go back to playing the MY version where they already have money invested and a high level character. I, personally, probably will end up not playing if the cash shop is overpriced once again because it's a cash shop heavy game. I'd rather just play a p2p game where the super rich people in RL can't buy their way to the top.

    That's just my 2 cents

    I don't see what's wrong with account sharers tbh.

    wow I would so love to pay the prices you all pay lets see I pay what $53.19 just for 100 cubits..and I get what maybe between 300 - 600 cubits a month (foolish I know lol) add it all together its damn expensive so I dont really understand what you have all got to complain about prices for try NZ prices then you will have the right to complain about it being so expensive

    The comment towards "spoiled american kids with lots of $$$$$." its not just american kids there are kids elsewhere that get spoilt too kids = no jobs = no money = parents dumb enough to give into kids demands = spoilt kids in general

    Account sharing is against the TOS which is a bannable offense. It gives the person an unfair advantage by having more than 1 person play and level their character.

    Not in the slightest bit. If people want to waste their time leveling someone else's character more power to them.

    I can't imagine why they made a rule against it, it's illogical.

    So basically you want another repeat of warlords? It's not illogical at all. They want to give each player a fair playing field. That's just like saying "if people want to waste their time programming a bot, more power to them"

    All the gms would have to do is make some rules to prevent that. That can and probably will happen regardless if you can share your account or not.

    It's just not logical, and unfair to people who actually have someone willing to do it.

    Unfair to the 5% of players who have someone to do it and fair to the 95% who want to play and level their own characters.

    It's unfair because you guys are all antisocial or against sharing? I fail to see your point.

    It's your account, as long as the people on your account aren't botting or hacking, it's fair game. If they damage your account, it's your own fault for letting them on it, which should be explicity stated in the rules/TOS.

    I have a feeling you will never see my point. But it doesn't really matter because orinj stated it's against the ToS to share accounts. So it is what it is.

    Magic banans find old pointless thread and bring them back from the dead.
