Whoever plans to play on it is either plain stupid to realize that its another cashgrab method by the notorious Allods team OR is just willingly giving this game on life support more quick cash to increase their ego levels for couple months before the server merges.

but it's a chance too for no paying peoples because its still a new beginning
Other people exists and you can naturally do business with them. There used to be time when there was no exchanger AND the game wasn't pay2win. Only scenario where p2w exists where you can't trade crystals or CS items.no its not, if there is no exchange-NPC a non paying player cant achieve anything on the long
items will be exclusively for donators, THIS would be a pay-to-win scenario then

regards. better p2w defender than you. lul
of course they will be a currency exchange (why would there not be? lol). when the avilon server opened up on NA, it was only temporarily disabled for a period of time at the beginning.

"Goldseller" refers to sellings things outside of the game. In the case i explained, this doesn't happen. Games will eventually get their natural p2wmoney/gold rate established as long as gold is somewhat valuable currency, which you pointed out might not be the caseyou can pay other players in every game (sell your gold -> become a goldseller) or otherwise sell your $ / BC and buy gold
thats a mechanic that can never be defended since the gamerules can never stop players from making deals outside the game
however, why would someone EVER buy gold? especially on a x3 goldrate server? there is no useful goldsink in the game at all except gearup & items from itemshop... but these dont take a lot of gold....
only thing that comes to my mind is build runes... but you can adjust this slider and thus wont have real problems gaining enough gold for building good runes
so it will be hard to find someone willing to exchange his BC for your gold
also, when you depend on the goodwill of players its... well its not a proper solution... however the one which donates can buy everything while the farmer cant. even if he farms 24/7 365 while gaining 89234023840234802934823 gold with auctions
thus i call this pay to win then
give the farmer some NPC to exchange his gold, all is good, he has a chance then

Spoiler
And sure it is a major design flaw that basically killed f2p
There is absolutely no need for artificial crystal exchange npc. I personally view exchange npc unnecessary bureaucracy. It is much more enjoyable to do business and trade in an environment where exchanger does not exist. If the players feel like they don't need to sell crystals for gold, sure f2p players get fucked up, but exchanger would barely help when the prices in this case would simply skyrocket. Root of the problem is simply that gold is not valuable.

You're confusing cause and effect.the exchange-npc is mandatory to make this game properly "free to play" compatible
if hteoretically NOONE will sell his BC or if theoretically EVERYONE plays without donation you still can gain every item then
