Yeah let's keep eastern style MMO mechanics and sell it to a market that is the polar opposite. That will surely be a hit!

Worked out perfectly fine for Final Fantasy 11.

The attempts already made to Westernize this game have been disasters *in my opinion* and no doubt attempt to re-write the enchanting system will have similar results. *also my two cents*

The game really doesn't need to change, peoples expectations do. Enchanting to +6 is cheap and easy because that is all that is absolutely required to do all of the content in the game. Anything over is a BONUS yet somehow it's become an expectation. The faster people realize this the quicker people will stop beating their heads on walls in a fit of entitlement rage whenever they fail to enchant something.

The world was never made equal. If you made everything equal then there will be no evolution as everything will be stagnant.

Think of this, if everybody is rich, then who will work?

Except this is an MMORPG and the Western market naturally expect to be rewarded for their time put in and not dumb blind luck.
If we're going to make real life comparisons, would you be happy working a nine hour shift only for your boss to say "Sorry, I rolled the dice and you aren't getting a paycheque for your time in."?

Maybe they should have replaced all the swords with guns since apparently the game needs to conform to Western standards. People can't possibly be drawn to a game to actually get away from the norms of the Western market.

One small step for man. One giant leap for F2P.
