The developer is obviously doing their best to hear us out and build a better "bigger picture". MMORPG veterans could tell you that's a hell of a lot more than you should expect.
With that being said, you raise a lot if valid points and I respect not only your wording, but the research you've put into them. Good on you, O.P.
What I identify with most is your concerns regarding armor packs and other non-vanity equipment. Normally I just suck it up, but normally developers don't even blink an eye at player opinions. As a proud supporter and contributer, I also plead for the folks at Spacetime to let this one be different. Your previous titles were fantastic, but from what I gather, your more "diehard" MMO players share the same concern.
This game you have here is phenomenal. Obviously, you're aware of your success, but I can't stress to you enough that this game is literally MONUMENTAL. Smartphone MMO's are terrible. Even the ones you might pass off as playable have a serious drawback, be it sluggish controls or a poor interface. But 9 out of 10 times it's the item shop that spoils it. Most companies don't care about that. They're still making money.. But most companies made terrible games to begin with. Arcane Legends has the potential to go down as the MMORPG that defined smartphone gaming. Please let it continue on wiping its butt with Order & Chaos.
Praise his noodly appendages,
