STEVEN!! Thank you for the reply. I'm a huge fan, and I'm so excited for this game. Please keep engaging with the community and don't rush your game out. We support what you're doing here, and I'm very pumped to "gear up" with you guys!
Thank you my friend.
That's fine, but the slightly predatory tactics of "Exclusive once in a life time available cosmetics every single month for 5 years" as u/Extension_Page said is still an issue.
I donโt consider exclusivity predatory, and I am upfront about that. I believe if as a player I am going to spend money on a skin, I want it to be exclusive. But I understand this is a matter of opinion.
Just don't go the GW2 rout and make the best skins a cosmetic purchase, and I'll be happy
The best skins will be in-game achievable (obviously โbestโ is subjective, so Iโd say the most ornate and detailed/unique).
encouraging devs to focus on uping cash shop sales to bring in money rather than improve the game for subs to earn money
Is that really whatโs happening, though? How much time and resources do the cosmetics take up?
No this does not happen. The current monthly cosmetics actually are dual purposed in helping to populate the npc population in the game as well with variant models.
