    Default $1.99 - Buy Stats and Attribute Points!?!

    Is it possible. Purists I know will object. All due apologies for having asked. Then there is the two circus clowns on the forum who might simply try to question such logic just for the heck of it. (both of you - it’s quite simple. I don’t need any of your wisdom or to share in your personal grief. Find someone else to share it with. Click on new post. Better yet - Find Somewhere else to share it with. Search Google seeing as your so happy with yourself for knowing how).

    Like seriously. . . everything else is on sale. Why not stats and attribute points. Should we want to spec out our character over and above normal. . . ?

    I'm not trying to question the logic of it, just saying, this will never happen for very obvious reasons.

    Fair enough. Yeah I know what you mean. Would make the game too easy for some. Pointless for others.

    Still. Helmets and Crossbows bought at the itunes store hardly compares to the stats and attributes wielding them. Value-wise that is. All optional at the end of the day.

    Yeah most of the items in the itunes store is for Appearance's sake. A lot of the gear is flaming or different from the average drop. The only thing that could be overpurchased would probably be gold, and I doubt very many people are actually buying gold from the store. If they made it possible to buy skill points or attributes some people with a lot of people would drop tens to hundreds of dollars on these and would be unpropotionally powerful which ruins the point of the game.

    I think as much as the Game company wants to earn money, they will never do this because it will cause an imbalance, and consequently cause people to be unhappy.

    If stats buying was introduced, then people will complain that it is unfair, people will be power gaming through money.
    If PvP was ever introduced, it would be a case of see who has more money to spend to get better stats.

    I think (or I hope) that the dev team is aiming to create a balanced game, and stat buying will be counter productive to that goal.

    Alright. So how about we only gets to purch one set of stats every now and again. Post 5-10 lvls up. So at Level 5 say for instance, you get the option to add the stats given and/or buy a set of stats for $x.99. Then at 15 again. Not compounded. Which is to say that a player will not get the option to purchase 2 sets being one that was not used at level 5. (just detailing out a rough idea). One set being 5 points to distribute across attributes. And 1 or 2 for your skill(z).

    Meanwhile I’m grinding across three levels. Gonna get the fourth and I can’t wait for the one with the crocs. The Idea being a stat purchase would just gimmie tht much more bang for my buck and less cause to rely on pot spamming. For one thing.

    More than one way to skin a cat. What.

    Tht whole prevent pot spamming was just a bonus. Real question is: A Set of Stat and Attribute points for $$. Nothing out of the ordinary. Not looking to get Str or Dex upto 300 or anything like that. Just a decent buffer if offered is all. 5 points here a dollar or two there. Tht sort of think.

    Reported us both into the Mods. Can't wait to buy myself a new device and set up a fresh tunes account. Know why. Cause there ain't no recession where I'm from. That and I really digg this game. So wht you gonna do Shebee!?!

    Put your money where your mouth is why don't ya. I'd recommend the iPhone 3Gs. ..or u might wanna hold out for the speculated 4G one. Oh and I believe AmEx is a good card to use for future purchases.

    Oh yeah. And if they do let me pay for statts. Ill check you out in-game. PvP zone day 1. If u manage a fresh set up that is of course. Not questioning that you won't. know wht I mean.... nudge nudge.... wink wink. . . know what I mean!?!

    Frankly speaking, I just dont think it is a good idea.
    Looking at alot of other MMORPG games with cash purchases, I have never seen one which allowed people to buy stats. Most games will offer thinks like unique items sets, or visual goodies (like alternate skins) etc, these items will not drastically affect the gameplay and you will never encounter a imbalance of people who spend $$ vs people who dont.

    I do think he is misguided, and takes negative feedback too personally.

    I'm pretty sure he was implying that you are my multi account at one point in time. Which is creepy since that would mean I am talking to my self now. Its only a matter of time before the men with white jackets come for me~.

    cough

    But yeah, saying "omg ban me I dont care I'll go buy another iphone" is.. as Deathshock put it, over reacting. (and childish)

    Quoting your Wisdom.

    . . ."I think you need medical attention.
    You talk crap that make no sense and whine that because someone distributes their attributes in a totally stupid way he's not able to equip items, well no ****?
    And now you talk crazy **** like this, just because everyone else is intelligent enough to understand why you are wrong doesn't mean I have 5 accounts on this forum." END QUOTE

    ________________________

    Ill say it again. Happy to get banned right there with you. Oh-wait, that's right. you missed the earlier quote I submitted from the game update screen. Perhaps you didn't catch the one about Spacetime banning by device. Think about a 4G phone. I hear it’s gonna be all the rage.

    Rofl, i cant believe im feeding the troll here but first of all why would they bann me, second that has exactly what to do with my device? Third can you start posting like normal human beings, your posts are decorated with nice words, but your posts' content is childish and mostly make no sense at all (nothing to do with the matter being discussed for example)
