Rufous

Making GP coins worthless is a pretty goofy move. Personally I actually hated seeing them anyway, but the shift to a new trader and the decrease in price and inability to sell to anyone else or flea, or get premades from other vendors with them through barters is a pretty... pointless sidestep with no progress forward.



Locking leveling a trader by forcing you open one game, then opening another game that some people might not own is also wild. Especially if you make any of his quests a requirement for Kappa. I don't think anyone playing EFT is going to want to be forced to play a completely different game in the most unnatural way possible. "Well, I just finished this quest... now let me close this game, and play a completely different one when I was enjoying what I was doing, just to do this quest, so I can go back for other quests." Eh.



I have Arena so I can say this isn't about affecting me personally, but not only was removing the FIR for flea a misstep, but now high tier armor and weapons are locked for other people behind another purchase, while they either get rocked by someone wearing crazy gear, or market manipulation gets wilder. Curious how this will play out...



Now if only it wasn't an 8 hour update I could see how all of this is, or isn't... but here we are; speculating.

However, mentioning that you're planning different tiered versions of Arena is even more egregious, even stating that it affects how much you can transfer between the two games... based on how much money you spent in real life upgrading it tier by tier... Will there be a $250 arena version?
