    What PWI is doing is turning this from a game where you can use cash shop items to enhance the experience into a server where people spend money on pixels and sit there and wait for the next sale because no one wants to work for anything if they don't know whether the following Tuesday their hard work will be available for $20 in the cash shop.

    This is not just a bunch of people QQing this is a community legitimately concerned at the direction PWI is taking as a business and a game, because if they keep doing things such as this, there will be no one left to buy their pixels.

    Aye cause you don't have goals in life also right?

    PWE is a REAL BUSINESS. Which means it NEEDS money. What are ALL USA stores/businesses doing trying to get out the recession? SALES LOTS AND LOTS OF SALES. Why? Cause people will use money on sales. They might not be able to afford the 99 dollars X item, but they might be able to pay 66 dollars for the item. BIG whoop you spent IN GAME coins that you probably sat there grinding/TWing/or sellign molds that u got from merchant. If you did sell Gold for the mount it probably wasnt more than 20 gold anyways. PWE is a REAL COMPANY they NEED REAL MONEY. It does take money to run a server, to pay the people who run the servers, the people who work on the game, and the people that create new content.
    BILLY MAYS LOVE YOU

    Nah. Most of the people leaving already decided to leave for the censored game before some of these updates even occured. I think it did push some people that were on the fence about it though.

    Hey, you should know by now that the PWE staff is just trying to make this game purely based around money. If you got money to spend you can be just as good as the players who started when the server started. Look at this new addition "Bounty Hunter" You get 300k-600k exp a day from this and then you also have your three other dailies: Cube, Stone, Villa. So... all that hard work people did getting to 100 went to waste too! and now they're making all your hard work to go even more wasteful! lets give them the mounts that were made for people who spent tons of time farming for. Also did I mention they stated this "one time deal" with that chance for goldmane lion, ancient boa, event only ninetails. Oh wait! they turned those into gamble packs now! and re-released them all again!. Also "Charm Packs are Permanent" Didn't we hear this before? hmm but now its turned into a random sale now and then. To be honest I think recently PWE has been just trying to milk money from all their players to invest that money into a new game they are developing and sponsoring.

    +1 , no point QQ-ing. This is a business they're running.

    meanwhile they have reduced the price on other mounts, think of the insane gold price inflation this is going to cause...at this rate the in-game economy will be permanently screwed...

    What's scary is all these half-jokes about TT mats and such being in CS actually make me a bit nervous.

    You need to read better.
    I've already stated that yes, PWI is a business and needs the boutique to keep the game running but it is HOW they are using the boutique that is concerning.
    To be honest, I don't have either of the mounts so I'm not butthurt at all, in the end I probably benefit from this because now I can buy a horse and I won't need to save a single DQ order.
    The issue is that PWI is ruining their own business, because they are taking the game out of PW.

    To reiterate: they are turning this from a game where you work towards a goal and use boutique items to enhance your play into just a server people sit on and buy pixels and don't want to play because they don't know if next tuesday their hard work will be available for a few zen in the cash shop.
