Veteran rewards for cosmetics/petpets/mounts, I would be okay with that. In fact, I'd be happy -- not -quite- as happy as if I could buy them with earned gold or achievements...but happy.
It seems the problem stems from T-cat, currency gained from your subscription in Korea and more from buying the items.
Remove T-cat, keep the vanities.
/solved
I would be surprised if they removed t-cats. Keeping t-cats as some variation of veteran rewards while tying it into the cash shop is a very, very smart idea.
It would be a bad idea to not start out with subscription-only t-cats.
This idea actually has been the more popular idea around the office. We just want to get it right so we haven't made any final decisions. We got bigger fish to fry right now besides selling items - like launching a stable TERA service.
Wait, reiterate please, is removing the t-coins thepopular idea? or tying them to veteran rewards?
And would these veteran rewards be in any way able to affect game mechanics?
Honestly, I was going to pre-order today now that I'm home from work but seeing this news has me positive that until we get confirmation that there will NOT be a cash-shop that has anything more than vanity items in it, I will not be paying nor playing. I'm sorry but a pay to play game for $15 a month can not have a pay to win cash shop and expect people to not be angry.
En Masse, I'm EXTREMELY disappointed. I had very high hopes.
Good....GTFO..don't let the door hit you where the lord split you...
Seriously, they have said they have other priorities such as launching the god damn game....so why are you all crying like school girls over something that isn't in the NA release yet..and may never be. Of course they aren't going to confirm right now one way or the other as they are concentrating on launching the game.
If you can't deal with the fact that the strategy for this game may change in the future then go back to wow or whatever it is your playing now, and pay your 25 or 100 for vanity mounts that do absolutley nothing and play a game that takes 0 skill to play...[filtered]ing about something that is in Ktera and not in the NA release is stupid.....because it happens in Ktera doesn't mean it will happen here...
Keep up the great work dev's and community relations team...keep the game difficult and challenging and don't listen to the wow kiddie pool who want to dip their toes into something they won't be able to handle anyway
funny how you dont get it. Clearly pay to win is bad. all EMe has to do not implement it at all yet they wont deny doing it. Doesnt that bring up any flags? Something so concrete that will ruin the game yet nothing to say about the matter?
Using the games release a scapegoat isnt really going to work

These noncommittal stances typically result in pay2win games as soon as anything remotely negative happens in terms of subscriber numbers. Because it happened in Ktera means it's an extreme possibility to happen in NATera.
And the thing is, I don't care if they sell $25 vanity mounts, I don't care if there is a cosmetic cash shop, as frankly, I'll use it.
What I do mind is selling power through real life money. All items should be obtainable in the game with a proper amount of effort relative to whatever effect they give.

You can't read huh, ITS NOT GAME CHANGING AND IT WONT BE, none of these things mean anything in combat. So the 10 people posting in here like the world is ending, just got shown the way. They all mean nothing, like lots of us have been saying from the start.....
Truth hurts, now what, keep threatening to quit, nobody will miss people like you.....
