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


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.


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


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


I have been following for quite some time, I simply had no desire to post on the forums back then.

with that now said, I think we can both agree at least, that we have veered quite off topic.

I'm certain between you and Thundercat, the edification of the masses will come along splendidly.
Edit: Always. It's what I live for. My great weakness...the inability to stay on topic. =(

Never change people. It is always equally hilarious to read people say "Selling things I don't care about is not a problem. Selling things I do care about will make me quit!".

Because games only revolve around YOU, don't they? YOU are the sole contributor to the game not failing. Who cares about people with different interests, they can just change game.

Personally I hope they start selling PvP gear in cash shop. So I can reply "It isn't P2W on PvE servers, so it is fine". It will be so enjoyable to see the PvP people rage while they can't counter the argument that it isn't P2W for everyone, so it isn't bad to be in the shop.

I think Calypso brings up a good point, and has unfortunately become one of the few victims of the industries new direction.

I play these games for a number of reasons. PvE, Rp, some PvP, and yes... even the pretty outfits. Unfortunately, something has to be sold in the cash shop and of all the things out there custom skins and premium looks are the lesser evil.

However, I'd like to say that I believe alot of the "hostility" towards the "anti-cash shop" people has stemmed from some of the outrageous claims others have made. The OP himself has spawned atleast 2 topics about it, in which one of them he devolved into flat out trolling. Calypso, you're probably catching alot of flack from others with a less constructive objection.

The only other thing I can offer, is that the premium items were already know from Ktera. Most who object act as if EME has sprung some greedy surprise on them, rather then that they didn't understand the business model of the service they subscribed to.

@Calypso: I'm serious when I say your loss to the gaming community will leave it just a little bit poorer, and I hope you find something that suits you better as the gaming industry leaves you (and others like you) behind.

An excellent post, and I thank you for the kind words. =)

Wow, ok swtor versus all the good games that do.. Rift, wow, eve.... You get the point. Also ea sucks and so does swtor... And they are already looking at imPlimenting one.

Technically, Rift's "cash shop" is just a place where you can upgrade your account to a CE version. I hardly think that counts.

As far as the OP goes - removing TERA's cash shop would have my full support. I would much prefer being able to access any and all of these vanity items through in-game means, and I don't understand why people practically beg EME to charge them more for stuff.

Abstain on this issue, still too early to start taking sides. Though I would say I hate grinding for tokens/mobs w/e just to get a vanity piece; doing enough of that already with quests/rep/gold.

They don't have anything that effects the game.

Lesse, The night mare horse is still slower than the vanarchy Horse - it's the same speed as the lion/lv60 quest mount, only difference is it ca be used at level 1.

All items are cosmetic thus far.

As long as everything stays cosmetics/mount/pet-ish, then I will support it.
