Okay,
I'm really not one of those constantly crying. I know uCool misses to implement a lot of stuff which would be more than about time to fix a lot of issues and move the game as a whole to a user experience level which would be worthy of what is possible for today AND what a lot of us payed for ALREADY!
But with this last patch they kind kicked us all in our balls/ ovaries. Really hard!
New VIP levels to a max of VIP 20 now? I mean it's not like there is way more important stuff to fix/ implement than additional VIP levels, but it seems they focused on getting even more money out of this for quite some time now (Limited offers, Gear packages, VIP levels...).
The moment of truth about uCool appeared to me, while checking the benefits and the REQUIREMENTS of the new VIP levels. VIP 20 needs a total of 6.000.000 gems (better VIP points) to get beforehand. So if you only buy "Heroic Packages" which has the best VIP points and "what you get for your money" efficiency, you need to buy 2.000 Heroic Packages (6.000.000/3.000 VIP points per package), multiplied buy my currency (incl. taxes) I would have to pay 210.000 Euro, that's about 233.000 US Dollar.
Are you for real?! This is the most insane I have ever seen from a company in my whole gaming live and this is quite a bit until now! I'm speechless... What comes next? Monthly subscription to even play the game? In-game features you have to pay for? A gear store with real money currency?
Where is this heading? Try to minimize the content and user experience you provide per patch and maximize the ways you can get money out of this game?
I'd really like to hear what you guys think of this!
