Sudden Attack Closing

While you're mostly right there, it's not that there's a lower chance for a permanent version. Almost all of the items in the Item Mall are permanent. The randomized boxes of Decorations and Mounts give away 2 versions of every decoration/mount in them. A regular one, and a more rare one that's a reskin of the regular, and for a year or so now the rarer ones give better stats as well. People used to spend crazy amounts of money for the rare versions even before they gave better stats. It's ridiculous.

Also, unlike in Maple, the majority of items in the item mall are tradable in-game as well. So, buying in the item mall very directly means you can obtain obscene amounts of in-game currency.

Despite all it's flaws though, I still love the game. While the PvP is more or less completely P2W, it is incredibly gratifying to play, and I still play it when I have the time.

I won't deny that the game is actually enjoyable, but even the PvE gets P2W if it's anything like it used to be back when I played seriously. Once you got to the 110s leveling became painfully slow and mobs would kick your ass for lulz.

I love the game's concept, but the execution got shittier the further in the game I got.

Also I didn't know that there were only permanent versions. Pretty sure when I played when it was still owned by NDoors there were Non-Perma and Perma. Even without that it's still insanely annoying and a horribly P2W system.
