When Im rich I would love this too

 

This would be amazing.

 

Are we going to have another debate about how this is "pay to win"?

 

Well the argument is as follows:

1. Player A would really like their character to look unique but has no money IRL, so they have to buy all their cosmetic items with vote cash.
2. Player B also wants their character to look unique, but they can buy their cosmetic items with donor points.
3. Since Player B did not have to spend their vote cash on cosmetic items, they can spend that extra vote cash on game-affecting items like gachapon tickets or AP resets.

That seems like a sound argument, but there's one small problem with it.

If we assume AP resets and gachapon tickets are the most valuable thing in the world and worthy of making an issue of vote cash vs donor points, then of course the only smart thing to do is not waste your vote cash on cosmetics in the first place. Donor points can only buy cosmetic items and some pets (which by themselves offer no real benefit). Therefore, donor points can only possibly be "pay to look cool".

As for the players that don't make that "smart" decision and buy cosmetic items with their vote cash instead? Well, that is basically conceding that their looks are more important to them than whatever in-game benefit they would otherwise receive. You don't have to spend your vote cash on cosmetic items. It's your choice.

Admittedly, donating alleviates this situation so you don't have to make that choice. Which is fair enough.

I guess the real question here is: should donators get nothing, or should they get a little something?

Spoiler: as an aside

Nearly two years ago when this server had first opened, I donated 100 euros just because. And I knew there was some kind of cosmetics only donor point system, but quite frankly, the choices were utterly disappointing or downright ugly. I wholeheartedly supported the addition of more cosmetic items, but never bitched about not having anything to spend the points on. I kinda just figured that the donor point stuff would always just be shitty, and my points would remain unspent.. but that's ok because a donation was a donation.

Over this time I had spent over 100k nx on exp hair coupons just to get one particular hair, and I regularly kept up an outfit for my character, paid for with vote cash. And I managed to gach a little too.

When donor points were finally usable on other cosmetic items (and permanent ones at that!) I bought my outfit with them and yes, I saved a bunch of vote cash this way, but honestly I hadn't been spending them that much because of how terrible people said the gach revamp was. I've still spent a significant amount of vote cash on pet-related items and AP resets, but I'm still sitting on nearly 400k unspent vote cash....
