In endgame there is some equipment progression and Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta it is not just about fashion. I'm not really into but I had a lot of pleasure with PSO2 as a hardcore participant. A gear progression is but it not quite profound. There is development. It is endgame content stems from Urgent Quests in the difficulty. Urgent Quest are boss fights/dungeons that are multi-party. They are also which means whenever you desire you can't just spam it. The big Urgent Quest drops have drop chances that are pretty low but occasionally so you can finally buy the gear you 26, they contained currency. That means you are going to want to get into the endgame Urgent Quests that are current. It's but what MMORPG/lobby game is not grindy, grindy? It is all about not or if you prefer the mill.

I stopped playing and uninstalled to ensure I didn't tempt myself. Every single thing in PSO2 is monetized. I remember paying a monthly subscription for a game and supporting the programmers but PSO2 is greed. PSO2 would have been amazing if it was a monthly subscription with what able to be got in game rather than by pouring cash into scratch tickets or having to cover different players inflated prices since they have a lot of extra money. I'm just glad I did not get suckered into their greed machine.

The actual issue is that there simply are not enough people willing to pay monthly subscriptions for MMOs anymore, and people who are willing only gravitate to the few largest titles (e.g. WoW and FF14). Tons of different MMOs have tried and discovered they could not sustain a critical mass, and the marketplace generally has moved to anticipate F2P as a baseline (again, with a few special exceptions). Even subscription MMOs have a money shop for a few extra items/add-ons rather than everything being earned 100% in-game, since that market won't sustain a subscription price higher than what WoW set well more than a decade ago while development costs continue to rise.

I concur with you that the monetization in PSO2 is overly aggressive. It seems as if you are always running into constraints or obstacles with prompts/invitation to circumvent the inconvenience by spending more money ("create the problem, market the alternative"), and to truly get"all of the advantages" you're taking a look at multiple stacks of monthly obligations + one-time expenditures. But as far as I'd like when PSO2 proved buy subscription, then it certainly wouldn't be sufficient to sustain PSO2's population. Obviously we could push for them to tear it down a little and at least to place us onto a level playing field with JP for money intake, but there is this balance point they must achieve so that people who won't sign up will nevertheless find some reason to convert one way or another.

The video linked here was pretty brutally honest from the director (surprisingly so); they, like most game programmers these days, feel cornered into the"greed system" to cover their costs (if the more moderate strategies are no longer enough) even while the major/popular games use the identical approach unnecessarily to maximize excessive profits. There's no difference clearly -- we judge by the outcome not the inherent motivation/reason. I'm sure there are however I am not sure if there's a good way out for the business. If these kinds of practices become widely shunned (maybe they ought to be), a great deal of market MMOs will end service, PSO2 included. Maybe in the wake of this a new version will emerge (or people will return around to subscription matches again), but PSO2 Meseta for sale I expect it will not be a simple transition.
