Draconzis Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have seen threads about the grind for the syndicates, and some have brought this up, but I want to make a topic completely focused on this issue. Also, keep in mind that I have a burning hatred of microtransactions, so this initial post is, of course, going to be influenced by that. Quite simply put, multiple syndicates require you to pay an Orokin Reactor/Catalyst to advance. This is a real slap in the face to a lot of people, as I have seen. Sure some syndicates require you to get a specific prime part to advance, but at least that is farmable. Potatoes on the other hand, you can only receive once a month, also it is random which one you will get, and even then most players would probably prefer spending on a frame or weapon. This obviously is DE 'encouraging' you to by plat. I know, I know, "DE has to make money somehow!", as I have heard all too many times when I criticize some of the games many microtransactions. But still, nonetheless, it is yet another slap in the face. So, I want to hear from you: How do you feel about this? Do you see this inconvenience worth DE making more money, or do you see it as a slap in the face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grilleds Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes it's annoying. However I've still got more of both than I really intend to use in the near future despite never buying one with plat. The only reason this isn't a huge problem for me is because I obtained a fairly large amount of them a while back from login rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krion112 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I see it as a choice. The choice to be locked out of a significant portion of the end-game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSING Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I mean, this is meant to be a sacrifice. I think it's a justifiable sacrifice, and a good way to make you really value who you're pledging your allegiance to. And I mean, this is a long term commitment, and if anything you can rely on the potatoes given out during the livestreams.

vasRayya Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's an awfully stupid move, but the way around that is to just sell some stuff then buy a potatoDoesn't mean I'll like it, but not much we can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsurus Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The choice to be locked out of a significant portion of the end-game? We get a free potato after every devstream. Choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
