Dear Umborls,
I myself have never been a real fan of the ingame-shop since its introduction to the game. After all the time this game is around, I no longer see the harm in being able to buy T3 gear, Pvp T2 gear or have a chance on rolling T4 or even T5 relics, so I understand why this road was taken.
What I honestly don’t understand is that most of the pomp-stuff that was around like transformations, mounts, rare pomp gear isn’t available anymore. There isn’t even a way to purchase the golden tokens (“Token der Vergoldung” in german client version) anymore.
I know this game is on life support only, but bringing back all this stuff in the shop would be worth a shot in my opinion. Where is the harm? And I really hope there are no technical problems preventing funcom from doing this.
