Wait... wait wait wait. The Costumes that cost ~$30 have STAT BONUS on them?!
They have slots for brooches which is what makes it busted. Costumes themselves aren't really a problem
The cash shop ONLY sale of items that give huge stat boosts the more you spend is the very definition of Pay 2 Win.
I've been on the fence about this game for the last 36 hours (you know, since the NA server was down without a word about it all night, but they got that cash shop in there. Oh and then it was down again last night) but if the $30 costumes that are ONLY avail in the cash shop have STAT BOOSTS on them, I am DONE and going to let the few ppl in the world that care about my opinion on games (all eleventeen of them) know what a money-grab shit show this thing is.
And it breaks my damned heart; SUCH a fun game, with tons of potential to have a solid fan base and years of success being straight MURDERED by GF for a quick buck.
I've stated this several times now, on here, on FB, and other places; smart cash shops that encourage a little spending from a BUNCH of people over a few years is better, FOR PROFIT, than gouging out a few grand in a month and your game dying before it's even fully released.
I'll get flamed for all that, I'm sure... But I've just HAD IT with the constant BS going on in the gaming world. Greed is DESTROYING our hobby.
tl:dr: You'er KILLIN me, Smalls!
