User blog comment:Scythe of FEAR/About the new updates that Nubee chose.../@comment-25770788-20141130125655

One thing it seems like people forget is that a pay-to-play player still get everything a free player does. So even if Nubee gave out a bunch of stuff for free it won't make free players better than payers, they get the same stuff plus what they get for paying. So giving everyone free UR's would just kill the game really, free players have UR's, payers have MORE UR's.

The main thing it seems people are complaining about is the FAW BP thing. Honestly I think it's fine since it'll help give some insentive to actually exploring instead of just sitting and doing nothing and "Oh!  Another free FAW!" and having no cost what-so-ever to do it. The reason why people notice it so much is they did it at the same time as the release of the Witch Gate, where you can't send AND you can use extra points to get higher parameters. It was one extreme to the other extreme, you went from being able to rank by sitting on your butt (take a few steps here and there so you can send back), to ACTUALLY having to use your points regularly causing you to need to manage your time better.

Not like you can't still Trade, just not as much. But in reality this game seemed more for dedication than just raw power. If you have time to sit and play the game you can still get ahead, just a payer who has time to sit and play the game will of course still be more ahead.
