    No it's not awesome, and it's not another chance for the poor. The rich are guaranteed to get these packs, while the poor have to get 50k fans on FB, which is looking like is a moot point since we need about 2k more in a few days' time. ****ing PWI is drying out the udder that is PWI's player base. And I'm disgusted by that.




    Although, I have to admit, I still do enjoy the game when I'm jamming out with my friends, and I will continue to play. Just that these stupid **** packs are ruining any potential fun/life that this game will have for me (and presumably for many other players as well).

    also i doubt the 2x event'll happen, look at their numbers they need ~2k more fans in 4days that means they'll have to literally have to gain 500 fans a day for the rest of the month. Sorry to say but i doubt it'll happen.

    Sure it will. It'll make all the in-game drops that you can get for free, worthless. The only thing in-game that will be worth any significant amount of money will be event and cash shop items, and they'll cost so much that the only way you'll be able to buy them is with real money. That's the plan. It just gets more and more apparent each day.

    PWI could have 50k fans in less than month. But they got bad opinion now, because of many things introduced to game, like Oracles, Anni packs etc. Sad, but true. 50k is not a huge achievment.


    Their opinion isn't as bad as many people make it look. They have a very large cash-shopper group. Large enough that it fueled Torchlight which was NOT created in China.

    Just a handful of people who do not pay real money for gold are upset.

    PWI would have more than 50k in less than month, if they'd have better opinion on the web. Because of Oracles, Packs and other changes introduced to the game, they've become infamous. 50k fans is not a big achievment, and we even have problems with reaching that one...

    Yes, but the whole point of a F2P MMO should be that some benefit should be available to those wishing to cash shop, but all the best gear should only be farmable. I had no problems really with the AnniPack, and as much as I hate them, I have purchased them and do own some event items and quite love them, and tokens are something that really needs to be a permanent additionto the game. However, all that event gear was planned to be superseded and it was, but introducing rapture and uncanny crystal packs so early kind of just ruins that notion. Now with Lunar being nerfed, Nirvana was about the last place that you could actually have a goal to achieve. Now the biggest spender will have that honor. Unless they put something even higher that can be attainable through hard work, looks like things are coming to a close for me here.

    Ok, I'll agree with you here. Nirvana gear shouldn't be purchasable. I wasn't aware that it was in the packs. I never looked at what was required to make it. I'm only 83 lol

    All of the packs seem to be about 97% chance for tokens, and the remainder split between the other items, from .01-.1% chance to win.

    Selling 2k tokens =/

    I was hoping to resell the damn things to fund my TT90. Not easy to make cash when you're factionless, a BM and don't charge zen. Fancy letting me in on some darkside marketing secrets warren?

    I dunno. I'm not even looking forward to the event any more. Is there even a point to hitting 100 when you won't even have a fraction the power of a full cash shopper, the game is falling to pieces, the devs don't give a ****, and everyone else will be lv102 in a few weeks anyway?

    I know, I'm a casual cash-shopper, I spend about 10~20$ every month. But as we all know, there's not many new players. And all that getting fans process shows that finding 50k is hard. Regular players joined that contest immediately, in first days There was huge increase of numbers of fans. What we got now is effect of spamming forums (and I'm not thinking about official PWI forum only) and WC in game. I think that few months ago 50k would be easy to achieve.

    First time anni packs came out gold hit like 800k. Then second time it hit about 500k. Last time it stayed around 450k. Will this clone raise gold prices THAT much?

    For nirvana mats?

    Probably.

    To play devil's advocate, this game, while free to play is still a business, and the goal of any business is to make money. You can debate whether that is in the best interests of the players or not, but at the end of the day they need to turn a profit or there is no more game.

    For those of you who do not purchase zen, whether for principle or financial issues, just keep in mind that the people who do purchase these items (however loathsome they may be) keep the game profitable for the developers, which in turn keeps the game up and running, and free to those who like to just farm, ect.

    Personally I agree with the majority of you in that the Nirvana items should not be there, as it gives us little to aspire to, and the few cash shop crazies (there are some on every server...people who are jerks but have overpowered gear they bought, and lord it over the rest of us) will have something else to crow about, but I just wanted you all to see the other side of the coin (no pun intended), in the interest of fairness.

    What amuses me is thinking back to that thread in the cleric forum that got immediately closed. Some guy from another MMO came here looking for advice, was thinking about playing a healer. He got 10 responses, every one of them advising him to get the heck out while he could and avoid the game at all costs. A mod ninja locked it pretty fast and gave out, but I still doubt that guy's ever coming back.

    Don't the devs care that 99% of their player base think they're morons? Recommendations from friends is one of the fastest ways a game pulls in a large player base. But who would recommend Pw? The expansion has maintained a decent player base so far... but how long will that really last?
