I said nothing about Kalyst not being able to put items into the cash shop or putting them on sale. What I said was that begging in all caps and "emoting" as if you're clinging to her leg like a child is not the greatest way to go about getting that done. Firstly, putting it in the suggestion box (as it has now been moved…

I feel like this not the way you should go about trying to ask for this at all.

I can assure you the state of the game has been discussed to death at this point. Sadly those that stay are more then happy to pay for a game that alleges to be free, so the game will continue to be P2W until it's end. That's just how things are now, the mentality has been allowed for years and nothing will change that.…

I would raise the point that, say a person takes that year or so to get their gear via 15 dollars a month, what is gonna be left in a year? What's the point of spending anything when, realistically, the game is dying in the not too distant future.

Not gonna vote cause I don't think I have a right since I quit the game, but PW Malaysia was released with(or without) an english patch for malaysia only about a year before PWI was, so....yeah it'd be kind of hard to be playing it for 10 years before PWI came out. Even if you meant PW China then that came out in '05 still…

How difficult is it for someone with g16 or mostly unrefined/unsocketed r9r3 to get tokens in xNW these days anyways?

You do realize that before sins were released and broke the game everything end-game was group content right? Having to work with others in an MMO is pretty standard fair, while being able to solo end-game content is usually considered pretty broken.

Just so I have a clear picture in my head, how much coin-wise would those 930 tokens get you? And how well geared are you for NW?

Dead? No the game's not dead. It's been in a very slow dying state for years though. If PWI is only supposed to be played by people that can cash shop, then that's fine. But don't call it free to play then. Because it's not. It's free to download, free to install, free to make a character. But not free to play. And to the…

Unfortunately there's no way they're going to change any mechanics to make them more grind friendly. Anything they change has to be for both the China server and the PWI servers. And sadly because the chinese playerbase is very different in how much they play from us (at least I assume that's still true, I haven't heard…

Attributing the trend of PWI to choose cash based options over free options to stupidity is wholly incorrect. Have there been some stupid ideas? Sure. But PWI is a business and at the end of the day their top priority is earning money. That's all well and good but when it comes at the cost of players who can't afford/don't…

What I mean by no return is that the game has become so intrinsically linked with Cash Shopping that there is no feasible way to get it fixed. Yes you can add various ways for f2p players to get gear, and by no means am I saying that's a bad idea (it should be pursued as much as possible). but there is a massive gap that…

There is no returning point at this stage. As has already been stated, the "I farmed my gear" people are very nice and good, but unless you farmed your character from lvl 1 to whatever state it's currently in, DURING this current patch, it's not applicable to the current state of the game. There have been plenty of ways…

Kinda what dingo said, what quantifies "good" players? I like to think that I was a pretty good BM, but that doesn't matter when I'm getting oneshot. There's plenty of people who have spent loads of money and have ridiculous gear, are they inherently "good" because they are the strongest?

No no no no. This should never be the advisable option. You should not ever have to charge for a free game just to be able to make the regular in-game currency. If the game has truly reached this point (I wouldn't know, I bum around the forums but don't play anymore), then this needs to be addressed. Others have suggested…

beginning to milk players? What game have you been playing for the past 8 years? Ever since the first anniversary packs came out the ramping up of Cash Shop vs in-game means has been staggering.

My favorite memory has to be one of my first TWs on the (at that time) Dreamweaver server. I was part of a faction that was on the lower end of TW prowess called Tempest, they'd gotten some lands but hadn't managed to get a large chunk of the map due to some other large factions. But there were some really good folks in…

Depends on the class, Sins can easily go r8 reforged and keep rolling till they get a few aps on their gear and then run r9 daggers at 5.0. The old method of r8 chest, nirvana legs, lunar cape, tt99 boots and neck/belt also works, It's just not gonna get you far in the high tier content because of the debuff to aps.

Are you folks just unable to stop whining at each other long enough to take a good hard look at what else is wrong with the system, as I believe is the point of this thread, and maybe try to get a good fix going? Every one of these threads that mentions xTW seems to devolve into a pissing contest about who's best or who…

That....doesn't fix any of the major problems already listed. The first one is the only one that'll really help any f2p new players. The rest are all for the cashers who want to make the game easier for themselves. The problems, as others have listed, are the fact that the game has a massive gulf of power between casher…

Some slightly more in-depth explanations piggy-backing off of what others have said; G16 is obtained by upgrading Nirvana gear, which has to levels: g14 and g15. g14 is made by crafting uncannies (or raptures for weapons) with Lunar or TT 99 gear. g15 is an additional amount of raptures or uncannies with the g14 gear. G16…

It doesn't matter what the website is for, linking to a website of any kind over world chat, with the purpose of getting "unlimited catshops" is sketchy as hell and most likely trying to put some sort of virus or similar malicious program onto your computer.

The whole "one shot because you didn't swipe your credit card" thing doesn't help much either.

So I'll start out by saying we had a post nearly identical to this only a couple days ago, but oh well. On to the discussion: PWI was never and will never be bigger then WoW. No way was it beating out WoWs numbers back in '09 or '10. And using Runescape for any sort of discussion for this is a logical fallacy because…

As others have said, it's definitely not the right thing to blame Kaly for all this brouhaha, as she didn't have any control over it. And most people weren't specifically intending that, though it's difficult to tell intentions when a thread blows up so massively with all that hate. That being said, the basis behind some…

So here's what needs to happen then. People need to stop paying. Plain and simple, people need to stop paying at all. Stop charging money and they have to listen. But since that's unlikely to happen they're probably just gonna get away with it like they always do.

Pretty much what everyone else said, there's an insane amount of catch up if you aren't paying money.

I can assure you this is simply someone complaining because of a perceived fault with sins that doesn't exist. Sins are quite powerful, as many others have said.

You just switched between 3 different complaints. Are you saying DBs are OP, stealth needs to be buffed (it doesn't) or that sins have really slow skills? To the main point of the thread, that being stealth needs to be buffed specifically for ? mobs to not be able to detect you and players to have less ways to remove you…

Pills have been out since last year. But yeah the game is really difficult for new players who can't/aren't able to spend the money to gear up. To be honest I remember awhile ago the sin skills being significantly cheaper, but others are saying they were super expensive so I might just be remembering wrong.
