2 reasons i wont spend money on this game

You misunderstand my statement... Let me rephrase. Yes the option is there to do so. I'm sure people have and will buy stamina. BUT it is pretty much a waste of gems to do so, which is why most coiners don't buy stamina. For the gem price it costs, there are MUCH more efficient ways to add power than buying stamina to be able to grind gear or for any other reason. Most strong players will wait for the stamina to regen on its own, wait for the 2 free stamina bonuses daily, or try to get it from guild chests instead of buying it.

No, I totally understood what you said, I said we are in agreement because what you said is completely the same as my point, except you chose to twist it in a different way, so let me rephrase:

The stamina system regulates progression. No argument there. It would regulate progression EQUALLY if you are NOT allowed to buy it. This logic that it is too expensive and inefficient is NOT the point. It is an option given to those who can. Expensive is relative and not only that, no one would describe it as "so expensive that no one would use it." Heck, there are a few on my server that started late and admitted to buying extra stamina to catch up and pass everyone on gear and xp. They didn't buy mysterious chest however, as they felt THAT was more of a rip off than stamina. (the chest IS a rip off, but we see people buying those all the time)

Simply put, if you can't buy stamina, then it regulates progression equally for coiners and non. If you allow it to be purchased, then AT BEST it is equal if all coiners NEVER EVER use it and certainly can't be "keeps the coiners from pulling EVEN further ahead of the non coiners." Stamina with the option to buy it allows coiners another means to pull ahead of non-coiners, not the other way around.

One last point: without the stamina system, people with lots of TIME on their hands can progress faster. The stamina system is meant to fix THAT. Now that they've slowed down people with lots of free time, it makes it easier to monetize the desire for progression. And better yet, monetize stamina directly, which is what they've done. There's nothing wrong with that. They are a company trying to make as much money as possible. It just kills me to hear players say something that even the company wouldn't dare to misrepresent. Can you imagine that? I create something that stops non-coiners with lots of free time from progressing too fast, therefore giving them one less way to avoid spending money to progress faster. I expected a backlash from the players, but instead players come out saying I did this to slow down coiners?!
