But most of my enjoyment is derived not from the PVE, not from PVP, or raiding, but from the various art content ('the casual stuff') of a game.



You lost all credibility right here. go take a trip to an art museum if you want to pay to look at art.

Yes, you are being foolish. As the rest of the world goes on, continuing to have its fun without letting this issue bother them.

One day you may just give up that principle. After all, this isn't going away. What kind of business decision would it be to voluntarily give up all that quick and easy cash for one reskinned mount? The only reason companies dont just constantly do this is because there is a big difference between occasionally offering some vanity stuff for cash, and throwing everything into the cash shop.

If you think I'm even -remotely- concerned about losing 'credibility' to someone who not only have I never heard of, but has also only been following TERA since a week before launch...you're going to be sadly disappointed.

You lost all credibility making an ignorant comment that insinuates that all art is in a museum. A vast majority of game design is based on the concept art and graphical aesthetics of a game, and it is good to see that there are people that appreciate that. It is hard to deny that Tera is a beautiful game, and I enjoy that aspect of the game as well.

The good thing is, I don't have to worry myself about what some company considers a good business decision. A 'good business decision' in almost every case is to screw me over as much as humanly possible. One day I may give up on the principle...but I doubt it. The days of sub-only MMO's are rapidly coming to an end. Once it goes f2p I'm sure I'll drop back by; my friend that I got playing loves the game to much to quit (nor would I ask him to quit for reasons that he doesn't feel strongly about).

Uhuh so that's how I was in every single beta. Here's a shovel... I think you know what to do.

Well if there starts to be EXP boosts and things like that (which they probably will) Then EME needs to rethink this sub that they are charging. A cash shop only works if the game has a massive player base like WoW with the sub model and has items and skins that look cool and players would want, and reasonable prices which Tera's shop does not have. The item skins are all horrible looking, there is no cool looking armor or weapon skins, or mounts (these mounts also need to be more then 280 speed) that are only to be found at the cash shop.

Right now the cash shop is like the game, horribly implemented and not finished or even thought out very well. They are only putting it out cause the games subs are dropping off at a massive right, and they need some other way to get more money from what little players they have. The problem with this tho is that the pricing is to much. I still belive that EME needs to just say and admit that Tera should have not been released when it was, stop charging subs, and start listening to the players, really listen, and not charge subs again tell the game is in a much more playable and finished state; where the players are happy to pay to play the game. Tera is the new FF14 at this point, the sad thing is EME, thinks they are to good to admit that they failed.

Reading comprehension is awesome, though I suppose you probably didn't read Calypso's rather long wall of text that i decided to pull that particular comment from. go read their post, and maybe some clarity will be bestowed upon you.

Ah. You just never posted before then. Still about a year and a half late.
