- The prices are ridiculous.
You are not pressed to donate money to the site or highly encouraged, in fact, it's up to you whether you contribute money or not. But I think it's fair to say that the majority of the community who donates money does it for the CC (Cosmic Coins). And it's a pretty fair system of currency. One USD is equivalent to one CC, and just like any other currency, after the amount of CC you have reaches a certain value, you can purchase items in the VIP Shop. My problem is the prices. Or rather, "Quality and Quantity"
The first tier of statues (Regular Status) offers three things: 80,000j, -350 EXP, and Access to applying to DeS/GS (Demon Slayer/God Slayer) positions. My only problem with this is that you have to pay for access to applying for overrated positions (They may be overrated but still badass) that are only distinctly different from Dragon Slayers. Shouldn't people be able to apply for things like that without paying that much? All I ask is that you lower the price or default it so everyone can apply.
As for the second tier (Knight Status), only two problems. In that status, you are given 500,000j, Artifact/Ethereal x1, Glow, and VIP priority. The last one is completely useless. How will this benefit us OOC or IC? Is it just another word to call us special or are we just found notable when we apply for the things we have to pay for? If you're gonna make us pay 50$ for something, at least make it worth 50$. Meaning, replace the VIP Priority with something else, give us more stuff, give us more of everything, or lower the price. (It's twice the price of the Regular Status but twice the useless things!)
Third tier (Dragon Status), it offers DS Lacrima x1, Glow, Artifact/Ethereal x2, 850,000j, Chatbox Icon. 100$ for all that. Not only is it just adding one more item from the previous tier, this is not 100$ worth of stuff. I should at least be given over 1 Million Jewels at this point, not 150$ later. And only one DS Lacrima? All that money for one DS Lacrima? And there isn't a legit reason for you not being able to have it be a GS/DeS Lacrima seeing as you automatically paid for access to that. Oh, but there's more... a chatbox icon. Frankly, you should be able to pay for these things individually. Not spend so much money for things as simple as a glow or chatbox icon.
Fourth tier (Demon/God Status)... it's literally the same thing only with more jewels and ONE DeS Lacrima. Excuse my language, but honestly, what the fuck? Like I said, you should be given the option to choose what lacrima status you want and not pay another 150$ for those options (DS, GS, DeS).
Fifth tier (Mythical Status). Okay. I'm sorry, but...
How the hell did we jump from 250$ to 500$?......
Username Effect (Example: Sparkles/Flames), Glow, Artifact/Ethereal x2, Custom Slayer Lacrima x1, 5,450,000 Jewels, Chatbox icon, is everything you get for paying 500$! Not only do you have to wait until you pay half a grand to choose what type lacrima you want you get an amount of jewels that is pretty low. "Shohei, 5million+ Jewels is awesome!" Sure it is, but that's not even enough to pay for a guild. If 1 USD equals 15,000j, multiply that by 500 and you'll get 7,500,000 million jewels. Sure, that isn't enough to buy a guild but it sure is more than 5 million! In fact, they should add more than 7 million purely because we're paying half a grand for this stuff. So in summary, this is what it is...
Half a grand to make your name look nice, make it glow, actually have options with your lacrima, have less than the needed amount to pay for a guild, and some easily obtainable weapons and items. That's all I have to say for the status. Now... the bundles.
- This is actually very simple. The Jewel Bundle contradicts itself. If 1 USD equals 15,000j, then wouldn't 50$ worth of jewels amount to in the 750,000j in the Knight VIP Status and not 500,000j?...
That and the EXP bundles, I think there should be a system much like the 1 USD = 15,000j thing, though, with EXP instead. I mean, if you make people pay so much for some glows, might as well make'em pay for EXP.
Sorry for the rant, but these is all kind of BS...
