As i see it from a grinding perspective at equal "luck" for enhancing i'll also need 50% more time to get what i want.... 100 hours now will become 150h hours to pay the new "Cron Bill".

I think i'll never even try Deboreka now wich was my next goal, then probably slowly look at other # more Fun # perspectives... ( Starfield ?) 

Imagine this guy's wallet how deep it is... Believing that betting your own money in a improvised casino is good. That's an addiction in a bad sense.

And another side effect will probably be less high level enhanced objects, due to the new bill and time needed, with higher prices, so what's the point of giving us more income on grinding if suddenly the final goal is 50% more expensive ?

They already did that move with max prices for a lot of things (good for a few), we have some kind of "equilibrium", please leave the things as they are now.... ^^

Pretty much anti new player tbvh

I think it's a smart business move.  Many new players will stay longer and spend more if they are wantonly harassed by vets who have no reason to spend money anymore.

Yes. Silver/hr was doubled with a patch like 1.5 yrs ago. Now crons get half of the adjustment. In total stilll a 33% increase to silver/hr. 

Also the Pearl set price update was long overdue, noone wanted to sell it cause a 15 dollar "p2w" set is farmed by other players within less of an hour. 

So a guy playing for 10 hrs a day, is equal to a p2w player spending 150+ dollars.

People need to : Either get a job, or accept that for every few free2play players there has to be some players that pay the costs for the game free2play players enjoy so much. 

No shop = no money to develop the game, or pay the server upkeep costs.

Bdo annual earnings reports indicate that they aernt struggling to make ends meet. They diddnt need to do this to keep the lights on, they saw a chance to push for better profit margins, ran a few test groups to estimate player reaction and shipped the increase.

How is making the game more p2w helping new players come on an making progression harder for them.  So you really want the game to die huh.

There is a thing called catch up why would you make it worse for new players.

If they can't get gear bullied by vets they have less incentive to get better gear quickly, so why would they pay for it?

Why would new players keep playing if progressing is as hard as they want to make it.
