>>you need to gamble equipment upgrades to stay competitive, 1% chance to upgrade, costs $100 each time you do it
I hate that it's not even a fucking exaggeration
Between the fact that GOOD enchant stones would cost a fucking fortune, that past +10 you could lose multiple upgrade levels while failing one...
Shit, remember the feather? How the only way to upgrade them was from stuff you could only obtain from gacha or event from the store?
Shit, I remember selling and using all my wealth to try to upgrade my weapon to +15 before quitting the game.
I started +12
After 70+ tries and 0 money left I ended up +10
Keep in mind that to get enchant stones, you needed to destroy a powerful weapon, so to get the higher level ones you needed to break stuff on par with your own gear.
