Ulterior Motive: Response to Banish Cap threads

[Riot]

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.

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!
