Make goals in your game unreachable by a huge chunk of the playerbase. Then offer a convenient monetary way to get there. While this may work for a while, this is all still terrible.
The money I have spent on this game was for things I was excited for, or because I felt they deserved it for the enjoyment I was getting out of it. Now everything they do seems to revolve around them trying to make me feel like I NEED to spend more in order to get anything. They provide a product/service. If they can't make the product/service attractive enough so that customers willingly (even happily) spend money on it, they have failed. Now they're resorting to underhanded tactics and customer blackmail.
With the new specialization trees coming, now more than ever I think we need to be able to buy spec point progression with dil instead of argala grinding.
Of all the threads to revive, you chose the one containing your worst ever idea? The one that would turn the game into an unashamed pay-to-win cash grab that exceeds anything that has been done to the game so far?

Good call.
Agreed.
There are some stupid ideas on this forum, but this is one of the absolute worst.
Seriously, beyond stupid.
This should count as necroposting and be locked. Save us all a headache.
