In the time that I have been playing this game it seems to me that the #1 complaint most people have with the game is the fact that reaching max mastery is an impossible feet for a free to play player. Why is that? There are 21 mastery xp points that require you to spend a literal $1,000 in the game. For the money equivalent to a laptop/pc to run the game you can get that 21 mastery points + a chaos factor. In a sense to be able to complete the game in its entirety, if ever you were to reach that degree, you will need to sink $1,000 into it. Granted the chaos factor reward seems nice, it is a tad ridiculous that you'd need to sink this much into a "free" mmorpg just to get max mastery.
My solution? Lower the patron point badge significantly in order to support the MANY players that do want to support this game. There is a atrociously unrewarding point between the 200 badge and the 1,000 badge where you receive nothing but the stuff you are paying for for a good $800
New system:
$20 [the cost of a normal pack] -Bronze
$50 [The cost of a medium pack] -Silver
$100 [The cost of a large pack] -Gold
$200-$300 [The cost of a game system nowadays] -Platinum
Even if they were to make platinum around $500 it would still make it a lot easier cost-effectively to obtain this badge by allowing players to obtain it with spending half as much as they used to.
If they want to keep the chaos factor coin at $1,000 I say let them but please, for the love of god. Be reasonable to the players who are not rolling around in real life money. This is a F2P mmorpg and it is no longer optional to be F2P if you want these badges...
If you agree with what I said here, please let it be known. Just as they reduced the consecutive login days badge they can reduce the requirements for this as well. Be reasonable @trionworlds to the people willing to support your game.
