Just so you know, 1000 dollars is absolutely nothing in terms of whaling. There are people who are spending ten times that at least monthly even on Nutaku, I am pretty sure.

There is a reason why gachas/loot boxes are taking over video games so hard. Some people have ALL the money, and are willing to spend it. Reminder, 4200 dollars on average is what it takes to find a single P2W, so when you see somebody with 7 of them, that person has spent at least 30k money on the game. Probably ten times that in order to limit break them, partially through Eidolon bricks and partially through finding dupes.

So to the dude who got irritated by not getting Cerberus: you didn't spend enough!

But I watched a video on YouTube some time ago, about the FtP games. They are not about the skill, but about the time spent. The player will believe they have skills because they will tackle a complicated UI and lot of meaningless mechanics. The player will have incentives to spend some money in order to not waste his precious time grinding.

Heck, KamiPro is just like that!

1 - It has more than 7 currencies - Gems, Magic Jewels, Star Coins, Eidolon Orbs, Accessories Points, Tower Medals, Guild Medals, Orichalcon, Draconic Eyes, for example. Each Advent Battle is its own economy even!

2 - The player has to build his own weapon grid. In the Era of Harmony it was easy, just get Assault over Defender, but nowadays there is Ascencion, Exceed, Phantom, Rush, Vigoras...

3 - But regardless of all that, it will all come down to: "got a p2w?"
