    Last time I checked, there is no mandatory requirement to have TT/Lunar/Legendary/whatever equipment. Believe it or not, it IS possible to play the game without them.

    Sure... If you happen to be a person who likes being pathetic compared to most others. There's a reason why people aren't usually wearing storebought, white, unsharded gear past level 70. What you CAN do and what is PRACTICAL to do are two entirely different things. There is no mandatory requirement to level past level 1 either...

    The problem is not that there is some sort of requirement, or even that some people happen to have that shiny gear for spending almost no effort, but instead that making that gear more available to others who spent no effort, while there are those who have put months of playing into earning their equipment, or getting close is just an absolute insult to the player. It basically says that all effort spent is meaningless if you can borrow your parent's credit card. This is why other f2p games go to ****, and why this one is quickly turning into ****. Once you get to higher levels, the only point of playing is to be working toward some goal, you remove that goal, or make it meaningless, and you make playing meaningless. Why go in TT or do raids when you end up having to spend 2-4 times for that raid than you make? Although giving away these items to people who havn't earned them is a slap in the face to those who have, or were getting close, the real loss is that it ends up making it where the item is not a sign of work, or ability, but instead a sign that you have money.

    Seconding this.

    And anyone who worked hard to obtain their gear because mats like this would "never be available for purchase from the botique" basically just got slapped in the face and spit on.

    Now, though? EXP is getting sold pretty much directly (90k exp per gold via oracle 2s), "Rare" tones and gears that were only available through hard work are being given like candy if the random number generator smiles in your favor. Anyone who used to want to try grinding for gold is getting the shaft. Oh and Duke's gone nuts and now everyone just wants him dead.

    The game's free to play if you're below level 50 and you're on a PvP server. Past that, though... well.... this is some pretty expensive looking "free".

    Quoting just in case the mods delete probably the best post on these forums.

    Devoted, please tell me what game you're playing. I might try, but probably won't be satisfied because PVP in MMOs are dead. The era of MMOs with good PVP system is over. Almost all have been discontinue, or had updates that affected it drastically.

    Just a game that gives a level playing field. It's overhyped and currently won't live up to it's potential unless more things are added. The pvp feels the closest to **** than any other game and as long as the pvp is balanced i'm good.

    wow.. they filtered out dark age of camelot? the game is over9000 years old - there is no competition to be worried about ... wow.

    Many people who are actually quitting do not read the forums anymore, for the obvious reason that they are GONE from the game.

    I'm quiting, this game has been ruined by the gms. What did you gms think was going to happen? the cash shoppers now have impossible items. gold lunar gear. items stacked with 4 g11 shards. This agme is now a joke to 75% of the player base.


    Gms you really messed up now.

    Boobuddy (81 cleric) and Rosebuddy (73 veno w/herc and phoenix) are no longer in the game. Its too bad all the time and money I spent in the game and now my stuff is worthless and just going to sit and rot so gms can line their pockets but not with my money anymore.

    I just wish all the high level people who made attention seeking posts about quitting would actually do it.

    Newsflash: Logging on everyday to one-shot low/mid levels is NOT quiting.

    I can name (but won't) at least two players who after posting that they are quitting are still very active griefers. Ok, your're bored with the game, I get it. You can't wait for whatever its called to be released. I get it. Stop talking about quiting and QUIT so those of us who still enjoy the game can play in peace.

    Ohh by the way outside of your inner circle uber high level click the other 99% of PW DOESNT CARE!!!!

    Yes, it "was" the best "free" mmo out there, but greed from the devs on down, have totally trashed it for me and hundreds (most likely thousands) more. My whole guild is leaving. PWI is not player oriented like other good games, just wallet oriented. yes they have to make money, but, they have caused massive inflation due to sale after sale and driving up gold prices, plus adding buy it now things that people have worked so hard for and gave no compensation to them. Now their items are not worth spit. Giving the players perks that do not cost money, will encourage players to spend money. Thats basic mmo strategy they forgot, or never knew. The expansion will fail due to the new class being a waterborn class, which makes me believe they will start in water at noob town, and I have never met anyone that likes to play/grind in water here. Today marks one year for me. I quit, and deleted the game from my pc. GL to you all, cya in another game :)

    Im playing this game until I'm able to afford a P2P game.

    I'm tired of F2P games where the sole focus of every single update is the cash shop, and they actually have some customer service.

    I agree. Sadly, I think PWI is turning into [removed] <---- Just like aforementioned game.

    There should be a "maybe" option.

    I'm not "Quitting" but I sure as heck am not "loving" PWI the way I used to.

    Well on the positive side this is a Free to Play Game in the sense that you can just log in from time to time do CS etc without a monthly fee.

    From PWE's standpoint I think they expect a certain percentage of people to leave.

    The only ones who they really prefer not to leave are the heavy Cash shop spenders. Those are loving the spike in Gold prices and all the cheap stuff they can now buy.

    b:chuckle im semi-quit atm and thinking of quiting completely.

    when i just on and see gold at 425k my heart sink. i still can afford some if the gold around 200k but 400k-450k just too much for me. just grind and wondering around west archo while reading system announce of the ppl who acquire things from anniversary gift which i cant afford and the other guild mates chit chat happily about things they got, is not the way i enjoy playing games, i feel so left out.
    for some ppl just said "get lost u non cash player go play chess" true, i take this comment. and i wont QQ-ing or bashing those who can afford zhen (they spent money they deserve the best things in PWI) just tell what im feeling about this game.

    i used to like this game, but im a non cash player, i cant afford zhen (yes this is true) maybe i just on to do my dailys until i really forget to play PWI. b:cry
    I'm a cleric.

    Gee, all the people claiming that Perfect World is going to die because most of the players will be quitting sure don't seem to be supported by numbers. Judging from this poll over 50% of the fanbase will continue playing, and the portion leaving will be replaced soon enough by new players. b:chuckle

    So true. I see new players flooding the newbie cities every day and those players have no clue as to the history of Gold prices. It won't be long before 500K per gold is just considered normal. Just like a Silvermane is now just a common horse.

    Much as some of the new things really annoy me, I still haven't found a better MMO, F2P or P2P ... yet.


    Oh and the players that delete their accounts with tons of great gear and coin. That's a great way to remove coin from the economy quickly. Maybe thats what PWI has up their sleeve ROFLMAO.
