" took over 4 years to finish the system " games only been around for 3 years... but that's not my point,i was getting at what happens after you've got max pos1? you'll just quit the game as there's nothing more you'd want to do, the game is designed to let you play having 12+ runes increases the life span of the game, it gives you more objectives i don't know an easier way to justify it ~ i'm out :/

Yeah, I've just become too cynical to care. I stopped paying on this game awhile ago and I honestly regret ever starting to pay in this game. Its just ridiculous how much you have to spend for some of the things in the game. Considering I haven't played games similar to this, I've heard there are even worse games. But I think what I don't like the most about this game is that the devs can hide behind the "we can't please everyone so we won't try." Even if thats not the case, it certainly feels like that. Like the Jiraiya [Sannin War] for July sign in. Their defense was that newer servers need him or he has breakthroughs so let's do give out more fragments.

To me, it's psychotic that they have such a split player base for their game between new servers and 3-year-old servers, extreme whales that drop $600 to medium spenders and F2P that make up a majority of the game. In my opinion, it's not that hard to please all the types of players. You don't even have to create new servers, just make it so that there are more incentives to continually log in. Like how there is the 7-day login, why not make it 30 days, whereby the end of it you get some pretty decent power rewards. This then keeps old servers still running and populated. Have events that are specific to each type of player, a $600 recharge for those but still with some decent rewards if people don't want to recharge that full amount (like Crazy slot machine or shinobi feast). Have Fukurokumaru deals not just be limited to one week that way it doesn't feel like F2P get corraled into spending their coupons in a week where there isn't things they want.

These things are not that hard to think about and Oasis has staff monitoring all the forums and what not so they at least get exposed to different ideas. Just sad that it takes a high level employee to come out and quit/get fired for some actual changes to get made.
