3 things:
1. JP originally said 15 star set was 10k, now he's to 20-30k. I think 5-10 is more accurate according to what I've heard. Either way, that's a substantial amount of money to spend on any game, though one poster brought up the amount spent on different xbox games, and that was an interesting point.
My goal wasn't to start a "spenders vs. non-spenders" war, but to talk about whether the star system in its current form is fair to players of both types due to risk vs. reward.
I think that it's clearly unfair.
2. If you don't play Age2, you're not qualified to comment because you don't understand the game mechanics or the effect of stars at mid-game. Sorry, it's just true.
3. I don't advocate "giving away" a 15 set. I was careful to state that I'm willing to farm for it precisely because a 15 set is an late middle-to-endgame goal. That having been said, I still think the system is unfair because in all other aspects of the game the only thing you can lose is heroes or troops. Here, you risk your actual gear and waste large amounts of money or resources.
I think that a couple posters made good points about finding the correct price-point for this on evony's part to maximize profits. I don't begrudge Evony making money, just don't like seeing us get cheated by a sketchy system.
