Are we just gonna ignore how cancer pheons are?
So I have 1 pheon and I cant get anything anymore. Why does Pheons have to be so hard to get? Why can't we get rewarded a bunch of pheons when we kill legion raid bosses or something? We shouldn't be punished to buy this worthless currency because of bots.

Yep, they are. But, you can think on pheons like gold when you buy. First buy blue cristals whit gold, them buy pheons ...
I think pheon to gold conversion on Central Europe is like ~90 gold each now so, think twice what you need/want to buy.

pheons isn't an anti bot system, its to prevent you from having all the gears you need to be the ultimate character too fast, its in korea too, you gotta work towards your gear not buy all of it from the ah lol. That's the purpose of pheon being used so that you actually play the game, not buy what you need and be done.

the events will have pheons but once the pet farm starts you can farm some pheons using cookies.

Maybe we'll have some pets from events. But you shouldn't believe this bozo, you can't get pheons with pet farm.

Pheons has nothing to do with progression, it's to make expensive for people to transfer gear to their own characters or friends, like it happens with gems, making it better to buy new accs for example than just send the same accs to x amount of characters that can use them.

Also, the KR progression is: Power pass > Buy argos gear from the market > hone to 1415 > buy relic gear from the market > buses for set levels > hone to 1490 > Brel g1 and g2 > ancient gear > buy ancient accs > progress trough the new content (which only gives some upgrades, like materials for ancient stone upgrade) and reach 1600 for the new raid.
Pheons are not invented for NA and are implemented in KR or RU. So what you talking about makes absolutely no sense because they buy everything from the market for fast progression.

it sucks if you live in SA not enough whales and the Cost Of Living is not calculated with Lost Ark shops.

Then again this is the future of essentially gold... so yeah

Pheons are a part of the game.

You knew about them and what they were from the first day playing.

And now you QQ about it?

Not only did they shower us in pheons in the opening months and events but there was nothing you'd need those pheons for, at least in piles, at the time so you thought what you got was plenty, except obviously not... it's your typical bait and switch scummy tactic.

If pheons hurt for people with already well off rosters full of 1430 characters you can just imagine how wonderful they must be for anyone stuck in 1370 right now.

You can defend a bad system because you are so ahead of the curve for it to affect you or you can be sympathetic and realise it's just ♥♥♥♥ through and through regardless of where you stand as a player ingame.

I see the irony in Pheons when it comes to alts as do many I would think.

They want you to play 6+ different characters on your account but they throw turds at you for wanting to share some things between them.

All in the name of losing money.

Its when someone asks if you want salt and vinegar on your chips and you say NO.
But then they put salt and vinegar on your chips anyway.

Basically telling you how you like your food :)

I have 6 characters 1415+ geared to the hilt and still have 500+ pheons.

Sounds like the real issue is you didn't spend them wisely.

As they say, a fool and his pheons are soon parted.

wtf is that logic? you can simply buy the pheons for real money, which completely destroys ur logic
its a system which is ONLY added to make more money. if you believe anything else, then you are not very smart

also other games dont need systems like pheons either.

Blame the entire world for all of your problems and no one will listen because life doesn't care about what you want.

There are those that watch, those that teach, and those that do.

I do me. What do you do? Nada. QQ boo-hoo life is so hard. ^ ^

they showered you in pheons to get you used to using them without understanding their value

so when you do NEED them. you buy!

ridiculously priced. for something you need to buy with gold to spend gold.

♥♥♥♥ off. just another currency to confuse people to the real amount of money value they are spending.

to change one maxed out engraving will cost around £15 of all their currencies. majority of that going to pheons. total joke.

to be fair i still have most of my pheons since launch, but i only play 1 character.
i'm at 1472.5 ilvl and as hard it is for some people to believe but i don't pay to hone,
i only ever paid real money for Omen costume set and cheapest founder, thats all.

but if i were to create alts, why would i need best accessories for them?
why would i spend so much to gear them when i could make do with stuff that just drops.

relying on the market is just weird. i hardly ever buy anything from there, mostly sell.
