All these packs are going crazy... the really only beneficial thing to the whole server were tokens, and now they're removed, but all the other endgame/OP gear remains... giving away Card Token Hero, Red Mats, and all these other items, when PWI would make more from just selling tokens.

Bring back Tokens in Battle Pet Pack like boxes that only contain 10-40 tokens!

So this poll is to ask, if you buy gold with coin or cash, which would you actually purchase if you were given the choice?

What I want? BRING BACK TOKENS! But please leave the other stuff out of them!


And this isn't a QQ thread, please do not QQ about them or other items, come
up with suggestions on what you would RATHER spend money on please.
I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    no, as it sits the gold prices are dropping(although slowly but nonetheless dropping). they contain items that high level players want rather than farming on the basis of luck.

    you don't have to buy the packs if you don't want to and eventually gold prices will settle to the point that it is affordable(more affordable) again.

    i personally like the sale items more than any other promotion because it gives players the opportunity to buy some cash shop items even while the cost of gold has doubled with it being fairly normalized.

    I like tokens, because they give you a possibility to get perfect shards & pages & stuff like that at a "reasonnable" price.

    I did NOT like anni packs though.

    So a token pack at a set price would be nice, although i don't understand that without any possibility to get tokens now, how the hell do you get em INgame ? As far as i know, not from any drop(s). (not speaking about tokens from player shops)

    So taking tokens out of the game would render that option ingame to trade em in totally useless. No tokens = no trading in tokens for items.

    I don't buy gold at the moment just because of it. What am i gonna buy with gold that i can't buy ingame anyway. Some stupid "lucky zonghi" pack which imo is a total ripoff ?

    Without a possibility to get tokens from the cash shop i'm not buying any more gold. Because everything else can also be bought ingame. For a less steaper price tbh. And bringing some stupid ripoff packs isn't gonna change my opinion.

    this happens every month, people also tend to forget that just because the cash shop items rotate doesn't mean it will be this way forever or even for long.

    all i see it as is moaning about how things don't suit certain people at the moment but the threads will continue next month with different faces behind them.

    <faints> Can I have 5400 of them, pretty please?

    @Alantor - You do realize that is was the tokens that caused the gold to go to over 500k coins and not any of the other items that you could get, right?

    Pure QQ.

    You don't need tokens, so shut it. They've made the game an absolute joke by allowing players easy no-effort access to a massive variety of rare and valuable items at silly-cheap prices.

    Most of the players who want tokens frequently use the phrase "I want"

    Well, I want 100k gold. You don't see me QQ'ing about it. -.- Even if I did I'd be shot down with flames in seconds.

    You can get your pages from brimstone, from eden and from twilight temple 1-3. You do not have to kill any bosses to get your pages, and a decent squad could probably (let me make up some numbers out of thin air) an average one page per member per hour if you avoid partying with outrageously high leveled squad members. For added income you might sell off your cleaned out instance to bounty hunter squad (just leave a squatter in there to hold it open, until you can find a customer, but note that this kind of trade works best if you can set up a long term arrangement with your buyers).

    I'd actually like to see a sale on other items besides gold charms and 1* dragon orbs.
    Why not a sale on things like bronze charms and teisha stones? Both are very useful, yet often overlooked due to their being overpriced in comparison to the popular options.

    Bronze packs may actualy be better in the long run as well. You could wear one for lets say lunar, and by the time you were done with the run, your charm would be gone, so you could just grind charmless until next time you would need a charm for PK or TW or some hard instance.

    It would save tons in charm usage.. which is why I am not sure PW will put them on sale, and instead keep the high grade charms on sale, since people will burn those while grinding as well.
