Oh man, I agree. There should be some other form of way to make money, other than USDing weapons. I loved the old way of subscribing, where trials had all (Well, most) of the rights of a gold player, but they couldn't save. It's just that the gold subscriptions should have had options for a weekly subscription or even a trial gold period of 3 days or something for every account/IP.

I hadn't laughed that hard in a LONG time.

Graal needs some way to make money. I love you to bits, Crono, but if you're going to throw that out there please suggest something else we could do.

Saying "I HATE GELATZ" is different than saying "I hate gelats, here's something else you could try:"

I'd like to see more of the latter.

Yeah, Old Zone trials were awesome. I remember when they made it that trials couldn't join guilds. I was so mad.

Hmm... let's see... oh ya, Graal is not free. We have to pay to play, yet they still let players pay to gain an advantage? It's usually one or the other, not both as that's a slap in the face to players.

Hmm...let's see... oh ya, P2P accounts alone weren't bringing in enough money to sustain Graal.

There is also PW hosting. Either way they shouldn't be charging to play and for benefits. And how do you know it wasn't bringing in enough?

I understand this but it's not my duty to come up with financial strategies for this game. As a player, all I know is that the cash shop provides an imbalance that Zone never had in the past. Gunbound began going down this path and I can tell you, it's not very pretty. Cash should never be a replacement for skill, only additional aesthetics.

I didn't say I hate or dislike gelats.
