Best items for free was a bad idea in the start, it's still a bad idea and good riddance. Stop complaining. This server does so many things no other server does, free coins at the end of the year, events, promotions, two-factor authentication, trading system and a ****LOAD of website features, streamed tournaments all the time and 24/7 CUSTOMER SERVICE ON DEMAND with less waiting times than on retail. Be grateful for once in your lives and see the bigger picture.
To release basicly BiS items (lets be real, whats the difference between HC sts and non HC?) for VP was a serious brainfart, not sure who had that brilliant idea. The only thing that bothers me is the part about being grateful. Like honestly? People are being payed to do their jobs, this isn't a charity. Everyone here does their part of keeping the server where it is, including the non paying customers. Considering moltens large hook was that we had a large population compared to other servers, I figured that you'd know. The people who play for free may not be financially involved in the server, but they contribute with their activity, which attracts people who are paying since no one wants to invest into a dead server or game. The server is running a f2p buisness model, you don't see other f2p games run about asking the customer to be grateful. People come to you offering you their money and support, I'm quite sure that's an obvious sign of appreciation. There's always some black sheep who act like a bunch of dickbags, but that doesn't justify putting everyone down who plays for free. As someone who droped some money right before quitting, I can say I don't look down on anyone who doesn't want or can pay, they contribute in their own way. Long story short, the server is providing some good services which attracts customers, which in return makes more money. It's a time and effort investment expecting returns. Molten goes the extra lenght to provide a good service, which is exactly why they have the population and income which they do, so where exactly do I miss the bigger picture? To me this seems like teamwork and a codependency.
