The Right Sort Of Microtransaction
If you want to level much quicker , you can buy our cheap aion gold for getting the useful equipment and helping you level faster. The ability to change faction is only one of the paid services that NCsoft offers now and, along with purchasable pets, must give them a nice little source of microtransaction revenue. I’m assuming “microtransaction” is the right term here cause RMT is often associated with the illegal purchase of gold but, honest to God, I really have no idea. Whoever coined these phrases should be forced to continually write letters into the Oxford English Dictionary until they eventually relent and publish a concrete definition for us all to refer to. If nothing else, it would avoid awkward moments like this. Anyway, I digress. But to the come to the point of my title, this is exactly the sort of the microtransaction that I don’t mind. In fact, I downright quite like it. It’s totally outside of the gameworld (and by that I mean it doesn’t affect other players or at least is very low impact) and completely optional. Players don’t expect to be able to shift faction in Aion and thus it doesn’t influence them much on a daily basis.
If you want to level fast you'd better use your aion gold and then buy some powerful equipment , this will help you a lot . Happy hunting ! Of course, some would argue that this sort of service should be free and, heck, well it would be nice but it’s not exactly on our list of “required” MMORPG features is it? Players can’t change side in game and thus NCsoft has established this service as being an additional “extra” for the game, something that’s outside of their pre-established remit. SOE, on the other hand, allows characters to change faction in Everquest 2 via quests so if they started charging for it, all hell would undoubtedly break loose. Of course they also provide free character recustomization whereas NCsoft charge for it so that it’s either a missed opportunity for the former or a rip-off from the latter. It also does what all good sort of microtransaction should and that is provide flexibility and choice. Of course, it’s still freedom within the walls of NCsoft but it’s better than nothing and I don’t mind paying for it.
