Pay2Win: The Tricks Exposed

Pay2Win: The Tricks Exposed

Feedback (reinforcing items is terrible)
I've gotten to the point where I have to upgrade my stuff to level 10. So far it's been mostly amusing, though as someone who's played his share of MMOs and "played" his share of mobile "games," I've seen most of the tricks in question already. Two bits of feedback, though:

1) The cost of accelerating farming/crafting times is WAY too high, even for the sake of example. It's not going to be terribly convincing when you ask a player to pay like $60 of fake money in order to not wait for 9 hours - most of those wait times accelerate for cheap, and even then buying them is generally considered a sucker's bet in many things, as the name of the game is managing your time so that you can log off and come back later when all of those things are done. Neither of those is the case here.

2) The mechanics for upgrading items reminds me of actually doing that in a real MMO, where I had enough upgrade gems to almost certainly get my items to +10, but didn't want to sit there clicking the button for literally two hours per item until it succeeded enough times in a row. In that sense, verisimilitude! ...but I also got all of those upgrade gems for free over a long period of play.

In this, however, it cost me like "$200", 10 minutes, and several trips to and from the vendor with the upgrade items to get one item up to +10. This is another time the prices are a little high - the new Neverwinter had ridiculous item enchantment costs at launch, up around $128 for a single maximum-power item, but you were guaranteed to succeed, and quickly, if you spent that much on it.

Anyway, the point is I'm not willing to do that five more times even for fake money, because that's still like 50 minutes of my life. qq pls buff reinforcement

I refunded the game instead, as it turns out. It's called pay to win, not cheat to win! :(
