Are you really suggesting blame on the f2p for asking for new content? What a laugh! You know friggin well that when f2pers are asking for new CONTENT they aren't meaning ("Oh, please Oasis, introduce something in the game that only whales will monopolize on, oh please!"). They were asking for actual game features and stuffs missing from previous versions!! Not brand spanking new crap that just happens to be the new avenue for them to make money. Get real man.

I'm sorry to say, but I have ZERO faith in your (not necessarily YOU specifically, I mean Oasis Dev Staff in general) ability to give a crap and actually stop this from being implemented. They (or this time YOU specifically) weren't paying attention at ALL ..... (or perhaps it was intentionally ignored in the hopes we will just bend over and take it) If you even bothered to look in the forums or Discord, anyone would have seen the obvious push back with these new runes and refines. I saw it immediately and knew the entire community was against it. It would be extremely hard to believe that you people didn't see it either. So instead of putting things that actually benefit everyone, you decided (ONCE A FRIGGIN AGAIN!!!) to opt for the option that NO ONE ASKED FOR and will make you the most money. Pathetic. You deserve ALL of this * back 1000 times over.

Delays don't bother me so as long as its worthwhile or they take the time to cater to the ENTIRE PLAYER base and not just the ones that give them money. They still haven't learned at all that the free players are their staple that keeps the whales playing. If someone doesn't understand why that is, well, think about it for a little bit.

I just don't understand how can this company fail so * hard on the simplest of things. Is it really that bad to just give things away? These are virtual items that they have no inventory to count, no storage to stockpile, it doesn't expire, or anything like that. Yet, they treat their players like complete dirt. If a player makes a gamebreaking mistake, they have the power to be nice and correct it (even if its just one time and they tell the player that!) they would get alot more positive press and earn the community's respect. I've noticed that when they screw up, their first inclination is to claim that it is as intended and never admit to a mistake. I can't think of a single instance where they said, "We are sorry, we made a mistake, here is a hefty pile of freebies and we will correct it and make it fair for everyone." Not ever. Case in point, the people that benefited from the dirt cheap Sakura/Sasuke boxes way back when. People got 3ooo plus frags for a measly 2k coupons. They immediately patched it, then lied that they would bring it back the way it was and instead put a severe limit on it......to which led to even MORE problems when people redeemed for the item in its place, etc etc etc. Oh, and they also said that they would bring them back and just as cheap again....never effing did. Liars.

Oasis staff fails to realize the real reasons why they are always at odds with the majority of the player base; its because their mentality is, "What can the customer do for us!" instead of, "How can we make them happy this week?"

Meh, they will never learn, ever.
