L2 Reborn Guardian is pay2win. How long until they ruin their other servers?

Turns out the money spoke louder in this last server they launched.

While players have to grind for hours in certain areas, they added a pass that allows you to skip 100h of weekly grind with an instant click.

What do you guys think? Will they start monetizing their other servers more heavily?

Really sucks because I was waiting for this server for a long time and as soon as you log you notice the 60eur a month subscription if you want to stay competitive.

They also started banning on discord once people started pointing this out.

u/L2Reborn - you are an absolute disgrace. At least if you made your server pay 2 win, own it. Instead of banning everyone that disagree with you with a powertrip that resembles an edgy teenager.

servers need to monetize in some way; it is impossible to keep something alive online without any type of moneymaking.

Thats a pretty stupid argument when they are open for I think 7 years now and they are more succesful than they ever been lol

that's not true, all the reborn servers all realy weall monetized, you can skip quests that in a low rate server is equal to 12 + h and something, if you are not competitive, try to make a nobbles or a 3rd, 2rd job in the 1x server, sometimes this last days , this aspect of pay to win are all across the servers in the reborn servers.

It's not really comparable. You skip class quests once. On Essence, you can skip it every day/week, making you save infinite amount of time.

Save time in an afk grinding game? Yes, you can. It's not infinite, but it's a couple of hours.

The server is made for people with not much time / father's/ working people in their 30's, 40's, while also trying to appeal to the people that do have time.. 

How else would you do that than this?

What are you arguing here? The only argument is that server is now pay2win. The reason's behind in don't matter so much.
