In a realistic stand point. The codex system is a worthy investment into this game. Most of your "Ubers" or high level players have been here for about 10+ years unless they came into this game and dumped $5000-$20,000 right on the spot.
Free to play players have absolutely no chance in hitting uber levels. Hell, even someone like me who depos' around $500 a month barely gets any ground.
I started about 4 years ago but i wasnt consistant. The game wasnt new player friendly at all.
"Oh you ran out of ped for ammo? Guess youre going to have to sweat 40 hrs a week for 1 hour of hunting."
From an mmo aspect this was a grindfest like a korean style MMO. But reality this game was/is a money pit. There has been many talks of "Well if you cycle 234891279783 ped youll have a 94-95% return without including markup."
This is the thing. Most players do not have time to hurdle around this game for 10+ more years not knowing if it will still be around.
Players back in even 2010 even doubted this game would stick around. But look at it now.
The current player base consists of about 15% being ubers or high levels who already made the grind. 15% who are mid way trying to make it. Then the last 70% is pretty much all your new and F2P players who believe 1 ped is their entire life savings.
Most of your big ubers already cashed out and left the game. The new codex breaths fresh air in the illusion that maybe becoming an uber is possible without spending $5000-$20,000 or wasting 10 years on the maybe 5k ped drop.
I've played hundreds of MMOS and ive never seen more players quit a game than this due to the grind fest being tied to your wallet instead of actual game progression. The new codex system will bring that actual game progression back into store.
The whole "kill 30,000 of this creature" for petty rewards from an iron challenge was a waste of time and ped. I wanted to burn out my eyes even after doing the 10,000 puny challenge for only 00.39 evade. It was a complete joke.
