While I appreciate the recent responses to community feedback, the current direction remains unsatisfactory and continues to rely on logical fallacies. There is a pressing need to re-evaluate the priority of monetizing 'Pay-to-Win' (P2W) players at the expense of the overall experience. The game has transitioned into a P2W ecosystem where the 'Crystal Crunch' is not being effectively addressed by the proposed solutions. A significant improvement would be allowing Era Currency to be used for purchasing materials as well. Urge you to restore the previous Datacron rotation. It is disappointing to see that despite receiving clear feedback in previous years, there is a persistent insistence on over-monetizing a mechanic that was once highly regarded and drew few complaints. Forcing a single farming rotation is the definition of a 'CRYSTAL CRUNCH.' By prioritizing short-term revenue over player satisfaction, you are overlooking numerous opportunities to enhance the game's longevity. Consequently, although it may seem like a small impact, I have decided to cease all in-game purchases until the environment becomes more player-friendly and less driven by aggressive monetization.
Seconded. Not spending money on this game. If there is another abusive pricing update then I will likely uninstall the game again.
