People should have been realized that illusion a long time ago back when they first started added shisui which stopped the "2 year rule".

At that point, they will try to milk any of the whales who max out and were complaining that new content needs to be added. If you were a f2p asking for new content, you asked this upon yourselves as it is expected game companies will milk whales first before adding any content that balances the game. Time can be helpful for f2ps as you have more time to get the in-game items. If you're not patient, tough luck for you as you can't expect gaming companies especially from Asia to balance fairly between paying and non-paying players.

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.
