I am getting so frustrated with the way this game has been acting ever since the transfer. I mostly use mage characters and, I dunno about you, but I hate having quest rewards that give me an option of 3 different spears -- I'm a mage not a fighter. Or 3 different shields. Wtf happened to the mage staffs and cool off-hand quest rewards? I seriously think the game owners lost rights to the original artists or something. Why else would they throw away perfectly good art? We no longer get quest reward options for a number of different types of things, now it's strictly one reward spammed three times. Most the robes are gone, instead we get the hideous leather gear. How long will mages have to wield leather armor, spears, and shields until the game owners get on the ball with that problem?
When I asked about this before, the response tended to be that appearance was all vanity now. To that, I say, what vanity? The elven shop items are gone, even the class underwear is gone, the free hats we used to get are gone, and from what I can tell you very rarely get vanity class rewards for leveling anymore. It's like the owners decided to never let people get free rewards that looked nice and made them want to keep playing, and additionally took out nice things you could buy from the shop. All this still speaks of losing all their major artists and rights to the artwork, in my opinion. This is not an element of Allods that can be sacrificed
Lastly, gambling for mounts is a waste of time and a stupid aspect to have in this game. I noticed the special horse is gone, so now the skin that I earned for it is useless. I've noticed a few new mounts pop up in Allods, but they're all random item generators. I cannot even begin to describe how much I have come to loathe RIGs over the course of my last decade as a gamer. It encourages gambling and unhealthy spending habits, plus no matter what you do, you may never get the item you actually wanted. Make the mounts a thing that can be purchased for a normal amount of money, and not some stupid gambling trick.
These owners need to stop focusing so much on off-site trading and start focusing on what they can do to make players actually want to *join* and *stick with* Allods. This is my favorite online game... stop ruining it!!!
