Petition to Remove P2W Features

Pepperzine Profile Options #1

This is a Petition for P2W features to be removed and kept out of TERA. This is a PETITION, not a discussion. If you want to sign, either say "+1" or "/sign" at the beginning of your post.

Currently a player can buy a vanity weapon and toss it on the trade broker for around 9k gold. In the future they also will be able to do this with chronoscrolls. This petition is for them to make the vanity items "Bind on Pickup"(not remove them) so they cannot be sold for a profit as well as to not introduce chronoscrolls on the US servers. Some may say the gold these people get isn't a big deal(which is prolly cause they are buying gold like this or plan to) but when endgame focuses around grinding out gold and superior enchant fodder for enchanting it very unfair to support gold buying, let alone encourage it. This makes it so a person can put very little time and effort, to get just as far as someone else who has been grinding for a month. If they want to keep these features for their own financial gain then the least they can do is make endgame not focused around gold.

So again, if you wanna sign plz say "+1" or "/sign" at the beginning of your post. I will continue to update the OP as the thread grows.

You're....ok, no name calling.

Chronoscrolls are already being added to the game, its promised. Whining and calling such a system 'pay2win' isn't going to change anything.

His only goal was to put up a post on first page that will make this community and game look horrible to newcomers. Thanks to trolls and people that fall for troll bait, we will keep bumping this stupid, stupid thread to the top and get it to about 6 pages by tomorrow.

SAD...

Oh god, these people are back...

To be honest, if the Chronoscroll thing wasn't introduced, then I think there would be just as many threads about "EN MASSE, Y U NO STOP GOLDSELLERS!" as there are about these supposed Pay-To-Win items.

And as for the novelty weapons... You cannot trade them... Whoever told you that really misinformed you.

And people are going to buy gold anyways. What this does is remove the market of goldsellers that would potentially scam TERA users out of credit or debit card information or even their accounts. I see no problem with this.

are “one-time use” items: they are only redeemable for one character through the Item Claim.
are permanent items (not consumed after use).
may be reused indefinitely with different weapons once they are soulbound.
are not trade-able, sell-able, or discard-able.

It's a bug according to the GM's... it will be fixed soon.
