more importantly, pure gratification doesn't make money/revenue for graal. that's why the game can blatantly steal your money, not give you gralats, ignore your support emails, and generally not give a ****. it's because since no one wants to admit there's a problem that roots below "xd xd towering", everyone will still fuel the server owners' crack addiction while they bang cheap somalian hookers off of the $100 USD you spent on gralats. ($5 of that USD spent glitched and didn't give you a pack.)
the bottom line is, you're not here to enjoy playing graal. you're going to ignore the sideroomers, the dead towers, the military edgelords, the stupid bans, and the toonslab support system that hasn't responded to a single message in months. you're not here to enjoy it, like i said. you're here to generate revenue for the server. you'll continue buying the lazily done items, you'll continue dealing with the stupid, uncalled for disciplinary actions. and after all that is done, you're still going to buy ****.
the competetive aspect of the game is so horrible, that if you do use the lox method and just go full social, (or military even) you're now going to rely on custom gfx, items, guild houses, and player made things for fun. that's going to cost you money, so i hope you're ready to open that brand new wallet of yours. in fact, just sell the wallet for a extra itunes.
when the new guild system launches, it'll most likely be a huge disappointment that completely clashes with the idealism and goals of having fun being a towerer. or, the guild system will just get delayed for an endless amount of time. even more likely though, it'll just get entirely scrapped and the admins will say "sorry lol."
another thing is, not only have we lost the whole competetive aspect of towering, we've lost a crap ton of the towers. york, castle and snow. im sure there is others.
then, you know all of this. and you just deny it. you go and you try to act really random, cool, and pretend you just don't care about the law in the city. of course, you can't hide the fact that you care so little about graal you spent 1000 dollars on it in 2016-2017 alone.
then of course, every so often they do an unbelievably short, pointless side quest that unlocks a new item. that quest seems to usually rely on a paid item as well, so good luck on that.
then, you get hyped af that "winged lord fly dragoon mountbatten pig 2p mount" gets released, and it costs 100k gralats. (lol.) currently, 10k gralats is 5 dollars on facebook, so you're gonna need ten 10k gralat packs to get the 100k 2p mount. five multiplied by 10 is 50. so according to the graal system, the 2player mount is worth 50 USD. here are a few other things you can get with 50 USD or less.

there you go. just a few of the MANY things you can do with that $50 rather then getting a 2p mount that will be gone for months (after you get banned for no reason.)
just my little stupid rant
