If I hadn't been banned during AB hot time and 1 day of the check off event, I'd have 2 more. I can't really see how not giving out 1 slot for Kanna or even 2 if Hayato doesn't get one can be all that objectionable. It costs a mere $5.5 for a slot since they're on sale at the moment. That seems like a very reasonable price to me. I've played a wide range of MMOs over the years and I don't think that any of them besides Maple give away slots for free.
I can't see anyone quitting over not having enough character slots. That's probably one of the silliest reasons to quit this game. Character slot sales have are one the few Cash Shop items which do not have a direct advantage for NX users on player damage. Yes you can make an argument regarding Character Cards/Link Skills, but look at it differently. You wanted a reward for long time players right? Here it is. Long time players who collected their free character slots don't have to buy as many as new players! You can't simultaneously as loyal players to get special rewards then object when those rewards aren't given out to brand new players.
Well, I was here to reach up to 16 slots. But know what's funny? I even had the chance to let 3 character slot expansions expire, because I reached the cap (That of course I never got the chance to use/get returned). Those were giveaways. That's from hot times and the likes. They KNOW free slots give more money, apparently while making people who play happy. But think about it from a new player's perspective.
With 3 slots, and around 35 classes, would you be buying expansion slots around 20 times, spending 110$, as new classes come out, or would you just buy, for example, Valve's complete pack? Oh, by the way, if the sales weren't here, it'd easily go up to 140$.
I just doesn't make sense. With the much better games out there for so less money, they are going to be losing costumers. Simply because of simple offer and demand. Or just have a look at this LINK. That's right. Either get a new character slot to keep playing the same game over and over and over and over, or get one of those 1390 games. I didn't even make up the number, that's how many steam games are out there for less than 5€, not sure about $. And that's not even counting Free to Play. Look at it from a person who doesn't spend hundreds of dollars in this game. Because if you consider 5$ not much, it's because you do, and OH BOY I'm sure about that.
