User blog comment:Scythe of FEAR/About the new updates that Nubee chose.../@comment-161.246.18.115-20141212051945

The update is killing this game slowly.

No free FAW means you must spend around 100+ light sword in order to rank. That's means frees player must farm the sword for more than a month in order to attempt ranking. They also need to be very active during the whole event.

Here is the fun part.

What would you think when you place at rank 3XX after you spend all your hard earned 100+ swords. "I've work so hard for a whole damn month. Yet I can't even get that HUR RR."

With free faw system, you can place in top 300 using less than 20 light swords (which can easily be farm during the event) if you're doing it right way. So you won't see it as a big loss when you place yourself at rank 3XX. However, with the current system, more than 50 free to play rankers, who used up everything they have and didn't get HUR, tend to quit the game each event (Since they are rankers, they are very active players).

I know nubee want money and I won't blame them to introduce the system that can feed their pocket. However, this update also encourage more people to quit the game. After the event end, a lot of my alliance member and people in my friend list change their IGN to something like "QUIT". This might not be currently significant, but it would be in the near future.

P.S. My rank in the last event is within top 300, but I don't see the reason to keep playing alone while most of my friends are quiting.
