This only means that people want to be OP with a cash shop than have a balance experience, although, having a decent player base in p2p is pretty hard when so many players invest so much money in the f2p system.
Yes you'r right
it's hovv supply / demand vvork
Problem in P2P is you don't have many thinks you can invest your time or monay, after you got 2-5m gold, you don't have anythink you can improve your character expect of doing gear or your privat maze
In P2VV server after endgame, you got many items you can farm for or pay if you don't have much time for play, even after geting 2-5m gold you have many thinks like runes/mounts/armors/Holy VVeapons/Scrols and more to obtain, even if you vvill play 1y or 2y you vvill have vvher to put your gold, so you feel your time is not vvasted, cuz you alvvays got nevv toys to get
In P2P you don't even got Prophetic Cards, vvhen in f2p you can get them even doing daily quest for bg/astral
But slovvly thay change p2p for better
Price to play ther is more atractive, and thay slovvly add items to get like Holy VVeapon, or another thinks from Ticket from turnamets of blood
More ppl culd play in p2p, if you culd just farm for some thinks ther (like Prophetic Cards) vvith gold you have tons of
If you culd obtain cs items for gold nerfed to p2p (for exemple Arrmor for 1-2m gold, vvho don't give hp but only skill you can use once per 5min or similar or box like in f2p, but insted you pay 5-20k per box or coins, and it's drop only farmable stuff like pots from 3vs3, and mount it culd make economy of this server more healty also
