So if I use a fusion service with ep. A p2w player has no advantage? Only thing that changes is that the low lvls who do this now actually will be able to sell their fusion powder.
Basically you'll need around 500-600hours of grinding for 1 perfect gem (max gear max dps and best grind spot) I play rather much but by the time you got the gold for it and gems we're talking about 1 year for 1 single perfect gem. (and this is the people that buy gems with ep and use fusion services)
Also when people start fusing more and more gems gold will rise in vallue making gold be worth more than ep as people will need gold to gem up and I doubt there is generated enough daily to even keep up with the gold demand. This way unpaying players will be able to reach out in "Shop". And sooner or later only thing people use ep for is repair kits and cooldown changes.
But we're getting off topic.
I doubt making fusion unbound does anything except for making it more convenient. Also it's not that there is going to be a magical amount of new fusion generated like that. Or ye maybe it'll give some people who're now gathering and boring themself to death (to close the exp gap between quest lines) an extra incentive to grind.
And speaking as a tank I can assure you. Even tho i can grind my grinding time takes 2x more repair costs and 2x less benefits for 1h grinding compared to a warrior/ranger/mage. So either they change it so the tank has a better fusion receive dropchance in dungeons or make it possible to grind/trade fusion as a tank because atm. I got loads of gems w8ting to be fused just can't grind enough fusion to keep up with them.
