Having played for a bit and generally having fun I started poking around in the store checking it out particularly in the Currencies section and see Chests of Gold for sale. The chests are there to combat gold farmers maybe? That's really the only item I'm not fond of in the shop due in part to how it could potentially effect the economy, escalating prices, market control etc.. Other than that I feel the shop is mostly fair.

 

Searching through forum posts I've seen a dev remark on removing it during beta but I'm guessing that didn't go through.

 

Even though I find the game fun my interest plummeted after seeing that in the shop. I doubt I will continue to play but I hope your game and community thrive.

I'm getting highly irritated with these "i'm going to leave a comment but at the end say I won't play anymore if you don't remove X feature from the game". I think I've seen like 7 of them so far already. 

 

Getting back to the core of your response, I AGREE that being able to buy gold with eldevin points could be problematic. The issue is going to be that some people have bought gold already and that future players would be denied the same chance now.

At least I'm being honest with my opinion also I did not say they should remove what they have done even if I don't agree with it. Mainly I was looking to offer feedback on my experience and possibly open discussion. MMO forums definitely have a strange nature about them.

"my interests have plummeted and I doubt I will continue" ... I think they were looking for something a bit more upbeat. how about solution to the issue?

I believe that those gold chests are there to combat gold farmers, and yes I would prefer them to get money with those chest, than a gold farmer. By the way, the gold chests just help you at low lvl, at high level you will make money way faster and you wont need them at all. They are just useful to catch up with your skills and stuff until your gold starts rocketing up. And at the moment making money at low lvls is not that easy since the auction house isnt out yet, so these help at the moment.

Every game has to find a way to combat gold farmers, if the developers dont sell gold, then illegal gold farmers will. Its something we cannot stop easily.

I'd like to cast my vote for removing the purchasing of gold. I spent twelve levels saving up money and feeling impressed when I could afford to buy a new bag, etc. etc.

 

Then I bought 250 gold. A particular challenge is now gone.

 

Hope you'll think about removing - or scaling back - on this.

One slight problem with removing the gold chests. When you buy a bag, you have to unlock a spot for it. I have bought 3 of the large packs. The amount to unlock a space raises each time you purchase one. Which means for me to unlock another space. It will cost 50 gold. That seams excessive to me considering each large bag has all ready cost me 1500 EP points each. I would have thought the bags costing EP points would have come with the ability to unlock a spot for them. At the rate it is escalating, it will cost me 1000's of gold to be able to unlock spaces for my 12 alt's and vaults.

Thank you for the feedback on this however for the moment we're not planning to make changes to this.
