I suppose it depends on one’s definition of ‘winning’. Fast Elevators are kind of a RNG recipe requiring a bit of an investment of Fragments of Power, or a significant investment in RNG on Siptah doing various activities there.
Or in this case… spend the crom coin to get them on any character on your account. Thus any new character instantly has access to them on any map forgoing any RNG grind of any sort.
What Funcom could have done here instead is allow two versions of the Aquilonian Elevators. The first one being normal speed and costing the same as normal ones. The other being a fast version but only is available when the recipe for fast elevators is uncovered.
This way those who purchase this item get what they paid for and are able to use them in their fast capacity without gaining any advantage over their fellow players.
