Hello Bluehole! Hello Tera players!

Just wanted to tell you that I will not re-subscribe after the first free month due to the stupid enchanting system this game promotes.

I am really sorry to say this, and somehow I feel ashamed of myself, but this enchanting system has actually turned me into a korean grinder that literally spends 10 hours + / day (when I have the necessary time) in order to get gold so I can get my gear enchanted.

Currently I am trying to get my weapon from +7 to +8 and I am soon starting to close in 25k+ gold wasted so far in the process. And I still didn't get +8 yet.

Everytime I am broke .. Everytime I get around 800-900 gold out of grinding I get myself a new gold weapon from AH, the required green alkahest and I start the enchanting praying I will not hear the failing sound again.

But this is absolutely too much for me. I actually can't stand this anymore, I am not having ANY MORE FUN in this game due to this enchantment [filtered]. I am actually really frustrated about it and this will probably be the main reason I am going to quit this game if the enchantment system doesn't get changed.

/rant off

I'm really getting tired of this. Enchanting is a part of progress. It's not meant to be easy or simple. Pathetic.

RNG is not part of any progress. If I wanted to play the lottery I would have a choice. Play it or not. This game actually FORCES me to pray to the RNG gods in order to be competitive in PVE.

I wish every enchant you try to make to be a fail. Then we can probably communicate on the same line.

I am tired of seeing people like you cry about legitimate threads like this.

This man makes a fine point. The enchanting system isn't that good or fun. You can make as many excuses as you want, but it's not a great system. ANY system that requires RNG to work 100% is not a fun system. Additionally, it's costly, making it that much worse. Also sucks when you have to do it for every new piece of gear you get.

Progression? perhaps. Fun? Far from it. If you disagree, cool, but no need to ruin this thread.

I won't frankly care.

RNG isn't a part of progress... except for the part where they made it a part of progress. I don't understand why players have such a hard time coping with any form of RNG.

Enchanting made you quit? You can do every instance in +6. You'll be able to do every instance in +6. What do you want, exactly?

To the poster who brought up fun... Where's the fun in failing a run 10 times in a row, due to your teammates, or unlucky boss skill chaining, or unlucky positioning? Is it that 11th time you succeed? Where's the difference between that and enchanting?

The enchanting system is not the problem.

What do I want? I actually want to see my work, rewarded, even if it sounds ''stupid''.

But I thought this was a common sense issue.

I wouldn't mind if I would have to grind 5k gold to get 100 % chance to enchant something.

But I would mind to grind / farm mindlesly 30k gold and see it ALL WASTED on 1 enchant. Hell, and still not having that enchant done.

Difference is amount of control, what control do you have over if your enchant fails or not. Absolutely none aside from item grade.

So... wiping 10 times... yeah, I don't think so. Never happened.

MMOs should be about playing with friends and having fun. If you're playing with friends and not having fun, why continue to play?

Don't come in this thread and try to persuade this player his opinion is wrong. Go make a new thread pointing out how you're staying because the enchanting system is awesome.

Okay well let's remove all variability and just put a price on it, then. Want perfect stats on your weapon? 10kg. Want +1-+6? 1k per level. +7-+9? 5k per level. +9-+12? 20k per level.

Let's take it a step further. If you pay 20kg, you can get your t12 enigmatic weapon after your 10th boss kill. 20kg for the chest, 15kg for boots, and 12.5kg for the gloves.

Where's the line between "too much" rng? Because, in games where weapons and armor drop all over the place like this one with only a 5 man group, there needs to be progress elsewhere. You can run raids in WoW for 10 weeks (!) and never see that piece of armor you need. Why? Bad luck (RNG!)

I get that you're mad in that other thread, really, I do. So you're calling this an opinion. I call it a frame of mind. If you only look at something one way, you're missing the other viewpoints. If you see the other viewpoints, you might change said opinion.

Why shouldn't I try to persuade him? I would have persuaded someone against slavery or for woman suffrage. What makes enchanting any different?

This whole forum was filled with rage when the changes to the enchanting system were announced, crying it would become to easy to enchant...

TL:DR Another case of you can't please everyone.
