    At the time I spent it I was enjoying the game somewhat so it didnt seem like a waste.

    Now, if I could travel back in time knowing what I do, I'd slap myself upside the head before I could buy the first zen card.

    whats the matter? i cash shop a lot but the time i spent on the game is under 500 hours. for those that spends 10,000+ hour in the game to "farm" or "merchant", u could be using those time to take on a part time or even a full time job and earn much more $ than u can farm in game. not understanding the logic here...

    Or just play normally and still have fun? Seriously, I will not spend a lot on this game. When this game will bring me fun content I will. But.... No.... I will not spend over 5k on this game. It is not reasonnable for me. Well not for that kind of game. Other MMOs with better graphics, sound, and cinematics are less than 200$ per year....

    And anyway, I get online in my free time... Personnally I do not care being the better. I just want to have fun. I do not need to pay to have fun here yet. XDb:pleased

    csed a little in the beginning, realized i could never charge enough to get what i would like, so i learned to merch, and now i can afford most stuff

    probably spent less then $100

    that being said, please go cash shop, keep the game going 0.o

    I have spent 0, not because I don't want but, because I can't. b:cry If they'd sell prepaid cards in my country, I'll buy some because I really want a horse mount for each of my chars, and maybe some fash too. b:laugh

    The gifts received (b:thanks you're so nice!), should count I think.

    Thinking of it, I wish all online games sell prepaid cards on my country! b:sad

    $600

    For about 2 years of actual playing time dicounting the few breaks i took. That comes out to about $25 a month. Not terrible for a form of entertainment.

    And now i have my characters to play around with whenever I want, for hopefully, another 2 years.

    Its like a pyrimid scheme now. Just got to hope there are many bigger suckers than me out there to pay for server upkeep and keep game going. When you run out of suckers, than the pyrimid collaspes. So, GO GO GO guys spend that money on your awesome R8 and R9 toons. Don't let these jealous, bad attitde guys try to make you think your wasting your money.

    I have a Theory. Whats the chance of game owners waiting till they feel most of the ZEN for R9 equipment is spent? Then raise the level cap so level 100 R9 gear is not that great. Then make them do it all over agian to get R10 level 150 gear?

    Cashshoppers need us, we need cashshoppers. rpgs require no skill. It requires time and patience to be good, or if on a p2w game a credit card.

    Better question, how much time did you waste on this game? How much time are you still wasting?

    I'm almost embarrassed to find out that I actually spent over $1000 in the 2+ years I have been playing (I thought I had spent less).

    Most of it was front end loaded for my Veno(s) Herc/Nix. One on PvE one on PvP. It was also partly for my family members too.

    Nowadays I limit it to a reasonable amount of about $10-20 a month (when I'm playing and not mad with PWI for some stupid action) An amount which I consider reasonable considering the cost of other forms of entertainment.

    This is one thing that the Bean Counters at PWE/PWCN need to consider --targeting mid level spenders, casual players. Without them the game will die. (or die faster than it is now)

    The game now is heavily targeted at the few people who will spend a ridiculous amount of money (a very short sighted management view). These players are in the minority and when they suddenly wake up and stop or switch to another game, the impact on PWI will be huge.

    For those who think spending $0 is something to brag about, remember this is a business and someone has to pay PWEs bills.

    I think the first time I charged zen was when they had that promotion where, if you charged at least $10, you would get a Cerberus Pup. I think more small promotions like that would be great for getting some casual players to spend a little money. Not like $50+ for a ******n recolored mount. .___.

    I think over all im up to 300+ and though its not the best use of money, i wouldn't say i regret it. This is in its simplest terms a hobby and if i can throw a little bit of money into my hobby every now and then to make it more enjoyable then why not? People saying "omg money on pixels? lawlalalalala" really need to broaden their view point. If you go to the store and buy a copy of halo or whatever you kids are playing now a days, what are you really paying for? Well, physically its nothing more than a plastic box and a shiny little disk, what makes it worth it is the amount of enjoyment that little disk brings you. *Shrug* I like my fashion and MQ and occasionally indulging my gambling tooth with packs.

    People spend lots of money on way worse things than pixels anyway, like cancer in smoke-able stick form lol.
    Yeah my sig doesn't match my name...i would say im being all clever and trying to confuse people...but im really just too lazy to make a new one

    I did get a couple of pwi cards as gifts, though, 2 years ago. Still, that's free since it wasn't my money I was spending. :3

    lol $200, thats nothing. Put it in console game terms, thats like 2 games, over how long have you been playing?

    I've spent about $1000 over 2 years. Thats not even close to being a heavy cash shopper.
    In terms on console games, its 5 games per year.

    There are people that have warsoul weapons. They cost something like $10k, (probly more, forget what the end number was), and they don't even play any more.

    I've been playing almost 3 years, and I've spent $250.

    Most of that was this past year alone, taking advantage of high gold prices.
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    I find this extremely sad. The game could fold tomorrow, and they could've put the money to some better use.. for tangible things I think. (my own opinion of course) Yes, I realize its their money to do what they want with. But it reminds me of a certain celebrity that had over 400 pair of shoes. There is a point that it passes "entertainment" and becomes a problem like "gambling". If you are going to throw money away, there are much better causes.
