The way DL is right now I don't see it as much as a problem because the whole game can be soloed and you can play by yourself and still get kills. The one area they do ruin the game is in the luck/loot department. The 35% elixirs do make it unfair. I understand you guys are in the business to make money, I just wish you'd find a business model that didn't rely on things (elixirs) that change the game so much. Like I said, right now in DL I don't think elixirs are a big problem (except for in the luck dept.) but I'd hate to see it get ruined by plat elixirs as harder and harder campaigns are added that will require us to run in groups rather than solo everything.
I'd like to see elixirs done away with completely. I'd also do away with gamble packs and make all weapons and gems (fire brands, pestilance, etc, everything- all weapons currently available for plat) lootable in the 3d missions and available for plat in the plat store (for a straight up price, no gambling). That way non plat users can play more and farm the items they want and plat users (like myself) can just buy the same things and save ourselves time and get to pvp where we want to be.
Idk if this is the place to speak up but, while I love the vanities and summer event, I can see DL moving towards the same business model (relying on elixir purchases) that ruined PL. You guys want more people playing the 3d instances so you put super cool vanities and gems in there but people simply playing doesn't make any money, you want them to be spending plat on elixirs. I think this because yesterday you were in chat talking about how flow shouldn't be dropping 6 fire shards in an hour and it needed to be adjusted. There was even an in game announcement saying the server was going down for an update. This update was canceled. I'm pretty sure you guys saw how many people were in game spending money on plat luck elixirs and decided to leave drop rates the way they were.
Once again, I love DL and I hope you guys make a killing of it. But please! find another way to make your money instead of elixirs! They are too game changing IMO.
