    Also given the fact that they did speed up the talent cool downs, etc from when the game originally launched, it impacted both the new and older players (moving forward). Except the older players had a much head start in their progression. You cannot compare a new player starting with a level 1 vs. an established player already at level 100 already, given the same changes (at the time in point). It does not change anything except that the newer player in the long run may spend less, but it changes nothing for both the newer and older player from that point forward.

    So the fact that I or anyone else who joined the game later and passed up the older player has not much to do with the changes IMO. It has to do with acceleration of spending and dedication to playing time.

    Just my 2 cents.
    Because the fact is people place limits on spend.
    I was vip7 before any of these nice things that were brought out.

    And if I were to have what I spent back and were able to reinvest it I would get perhaps 50k more gems than what I got.
    I am not complaining about this.
    All I keep saying is the balance between servers are not right.
    I play the game, I enjoy the game.
    I compete at the level I'm at and quite understand that there are some that are just outta my reach for the cash I want to invest.
    But I enjoy playing.
    I spend to have fun, just like I would spend to have fun on a night out.
    I just wish they would only use the word balance when It was actually true.

    Once again I ask. WHY DO WE NEED BALANCE BETWEEN SERVERS?

    for the sake of CWF?

    If you want to have balance between servers then the servers need to be similar. You need the same number of realms, same rules, same amount of money spent, etc. A cap is not going to BALANCE anything.

    Right now comparing servers 1-5 with any other server out there is like comparing apples to oranges. And to try and balance them is like trying to make an apple more orange and an orange more like an apple.


    Please tell me why I should even care if Blayd can get 200m coins in a banish. Or Tiny? or LC? I see 0 need or benefit from this cap.

    I agree with you Boo on many facets. Also here is where I stand in relation to this "new" player situation.

    I hit VIP 7, 3 days before the first Christmas package came out. Before this, there was no packages and i purchased from the old VIP icon. I could have had massive more gems and leader cards, chips, etc. I even wrote support requesting to be reimbursed for those additional portions because there was no pre-announcement of the "first" package ever offered. Needless to say, I got nothing.

    However, besides the packages, I know it goes a little deeper with in game mechanics that also evolved over the months leading up to very recent. Even with this, I see it as a win-win for everyone and I do not fault the newer players starting out now (be it on newer server to start over, or new to Tynon).

    I also know that we cannot dwell on the past. Some issues like VIP Casino chips when it happened needed to be petitioned and was addressed for fairness, but other changes are changes and we can't influence the past.

    I say, let it go and make best of the game as it continues to progress "at your own pace you are comfortable doing financially". In many other games like WoW, one can spend a year + raiding 6 hour days and another 6 hours grinding, building it up to find out all the gears are now worthless and have to re-farm all the gears again doing new difficult dungeons which also affect PVP. Needless to say, I quit that nonsense. The thing I love about Tynon, is that it preserves your investment and continues to grow with you. I have yet to have to "throw away" a gear to farm new ones. Just continue to build and upgrade what I have which I love about the game.

    This game however is very expensive to play. It does force you to purchase a lot of gems to do basic things like open armor sockets, and preserve the level of your gear as you increase to next level. This is where I wish there was another method such as allow you to use alternative currency in game. also allow for in game trading of certain items to introduce currency amongst players. I think this would create a huge influx of cash players to the game.

    Correction: I hit VIP 8 before the first Christmas package was brought out. OUCH!
