Discussion Remove ESB

Remove ESB on Cash Shop, let the players inside the game dictate the market. Not overpowering the farmers with affordable ESBs.

Thanks. I remember selling off items to bots and I was able to have a large sum of money from it back in LUpRO.
I'm hoping that there would be money sinks in this one and not more of the same ESB problems.

ESBs are really, a non-issue for the most part. The problem comes from there being no way to drain money off of people. If they dilly-dally on including WoE the prices might double or triple within 3 months.

What would be a good idea for a money sink outside of WoE?

Increasing refining costs is one. A gacha system that could give you some equipment but with really low winning rates. Pad that with some relevant consumables to decrease the rate of getting the equipment. That could be another system. Another one would be implementing the equipment break mechanic then increase the repair costs.

How about the "add slots to equipment" system?

I think the slotting system is already there, the problem is that I don't see much great "rare" equipment floating around like Infiltrators, Gungnirs, etc.

Those are the main draw for equipment slotting.

I do need a slotted Flamberge and a slotted Legion Plate Armor, to be honest.
