It's been a prevalent issue, the fact that people just clever enough to take advantage of the game and basically spend several hours doing rerolls can earn about the same as those who blow $100+ if not more.

I used to spend money on Ishtaria a LONG time ago. The last time I spent money was to help myself to my Xmas Metatron+2 after getting lucky with one pull, and that was about $40. I think about what kind of places that money could've went to but I don't ponder it much since I was genuinely satisfied back then.

Now? It's almost an insult to spend money. You can spend hundreds of dollars in the regular cash shop and get nothing, but the other people, they just ignore that system and do whatever it takes outside of the game to get more powerful.

I don't expect SS to make much from this game. If they are, great. I'm just not going to be here for this anymore.
