why bound? why not roster?

[Roxxus]

I get making mats/mat-bags untradable but why bound to character.. for a game that emphasizes having alts it seems pointless to have t1/2 mats bound to character rather than roster...
you end with your t3 char(s) having hundreds if not thousands of stones/shards that are then useless, it'd be nice if they were just changed to 'roster-bound untradable' or at least give us a way to convert them up t1->t2->t3.

This game expect payment not alts. Alts are just workaround invented by community

that is entirely false, alts give you more gold runs, which allows you to buy more blue crystals or w.e with the gold.. it's the intended purpose.. do try to stay on topic.. not everything has to be an argument of the perceived p2w status of the game..

You don't need any alts if you are willing to put lot of money

[Nordblut]

Agreed with OP. Imo everything should be rosterbound. I guess this has more to do with bounding people to the game, as it takes longer to level up with character bound mats.

There is no good explanation why those materials are bound to character instead of roster.
Ofc no good explanation if we look at player experience.
For developer/publisher? Money.

take your own advice :) alt chars = gold runs + more mats = gold to buy blue crystals = mats, aura ect.... not exactly rocket science.

i see you have understanding issue too ...

you don't deny what he said 'made to milk people' by saying 'just buy this RMT gem' even if you buy it with gold you are still part of the problem as it was made to milk money, with one extra step ...

So many steps. Or you know you can just pay money. Once again alts are workaround not intented gameloop

nobody is forcing you to pay money lol you can if you want to, doesn't make it the intended way to play the game lol

Once again systems are designed for paying customers. All that alt stuff is just workaround invented by people who don't want to pay for whatever reason. Saying game was build around alts is silly

[VeraelHasta]

The only explanation would be that they want you to do stuff on other characters and not only on main. Otherwise you could do everything on main and put stuff into the bank.

Thats probably what they think. Which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ for people who don't play alts currently but would like to in the future and/or when new classes come out.

i see a p2w cringe in comment

[Vollekanne]

its all about how to make the game ppl need to invest as much money as posible

Because having mats be roster bound would both be logical and player friendly and Smilegate can't have that.

People really need to start grasping that Smilegate didn't design this game to be player friendly. They put in so many things that are there for no other reason than to frustrate the player base and perhaps to see just how much people will put up with before they move onto a game that actually better respects and rewards their time.

Or the game was made for masochists, but I'm not sure - I didn't see any marketing targeting those.
