Hi Everybody!
I know we haven’t done many MTX items yet so it’s hard to judge how it will be long term. One thing that we have been extremely clear on since day 1 is that we will never ever sell power for real money. We really want everyone to be confident in the feeling that they can get to the top of the ladder with the same amount of time and effort as anyone else, no matter how much money they have put in to the game.
Edit: Also, nobody on the team has ever tried to pitch that we should charge for power in any meeting I’ve been in.
The biggest piece of evidence as to our intentions on this matter that I can point to is the brand new stash tabs. We could very easily have sold more stash tabs for real money. I don’t think this is a bad thing to do on a title that doesn’t have a box price. However, because we aren’t free to play, we give stash tabs for in game gold. (I’m really trying to be clear that I’m not hating on a certain ARPG.)
With regards to crafting items specifically, it’s far from finished. We have dozens of ideas for new crafting items. Not all of those ideas will make it in to game but I know some of them will for sure. We do keep our eyes out for what types of new crafting items you all want and we take that into consideration when we are designing them. This pretty much goes for all aspects of the game.
