    Default Cashshop to godlyness!

    So I just started to pick us Fiesta, and I was talking to a guy in the game and he says, that the game is so cash shop dependent, that at high levels you have to spend 500+ dollars a month to even be able to play. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! This can't be true and I really hope it isn't. Can someone confirm or deny?

    I can vouch that this is plausible. I mean I've heard people spending an upwards of $1000+ in Conquer Online.

    Try posting on their forums. I'm sure you'll get an answer there.

    All games that outspark hosts are cash shop dependent. I've played Secret of Solstice and by reading the forums from other games I've heard it's so bad that some people have spent over $8,000 just to get past 100.


    One guy justifies this by saying, "well if you look at other hobbies or past-times, it's not as expensive as buying a car."


    There you have it.

    Thanks For the Info!

    Anyway, I got a high level person to actually talk to me and she said that she hasnt spent a dime and is goood... Soooo, I think I might have just found a game worth reaching the level cap in, well I hope. Unless anyone knows of anything that is better? Feel free to blurt it out.

    It all depends on your point of view. If you feel that just because others are leveling faster and are better than you because they use cash shop their's no reason to stop playing the game. Personally, I like a fair advantange and prefer games like MS where stuff is more for aesthetic purposes. Although I don't like x2 exp either, or a game where CS can be sold ingame like Kalonline.

    Games are all an opinion based on what you like.

    I personally think Fiesta is smelly, but that's just because it's me.

    But, in general I find that there are limits to games.

    I got very high level in CABAL Online because I wanted to see the high level monsters and dungeons. I didn't exactly feel motivated to farm for 300 hours for gear to train on them properly though.


    Also, some people are just more cash shop *****-ish than others in general. Though I can agree that lots of free games end up turning into pay-to-win games, there are ways to fall on the same ground as cash shop dependant people. It just depends on how patient you are, and whether or not cash shop whores bother you.

    This post doesn't really help with anything in particular, but I guess it's something to think about.
