The game isn't / shouldn't be about gambling your money, or time, getting a set and having it go back to 0. 99.9995% of games reward effort or money spent. This one makes you say 'Thank you Sir, may I have another?'
Deranged :Yes, Confused:No, Part of the Responsible Establishment and tied into working with the Man: Yes.

Last time i checked, No Evony Employee or Mod, Alliance mate, or even for that matter an opposing Enemy has ever placed a gun or even a pointy stick at any players head and made them pay for Gems. I know several players that DO NOT pay evony for gems or strats and still are able to complete quests, spin amulets and farm npcs/other players to recieve gems.

This isn't a hate the game not the playa situation, there is a 'STOP' button that you may push anytime you wish while working your star set with gems. At the point a player is upset at the outcome of their gearing accomplishments, there is another button on the side of the 'puter that allows them not to spend their hard earned cash on the game.

Unfortunately, people do feel that sense of accomplishment when they get a free burger. Yes there is several people that jump onto a new server and drop several $K, *reminder they pay for the free-ness of the game*. These people more often than not, don't know what to do with their 15 star sets that they VISA'd.

I stand by my original post, work for it, you'll appreciate it more.
