The Fact that this development team even remotely considered this idea instead of OUTRIGHT rejecting it makes me HIGHLY doubt the veracity of your claims of wanting to make a "community friendly" game with no "P2W" and only "Cosmetics" in your cash shop.
Any company considering going NFT for even a second doesn't understand the MMO genre or community and I suddenly regret supporting this project.
I hope this accurately portrays my absolute disgust with the concept of NFT's...and anyone on this development team entertaining the idea.
Well that is a bit harsh if I can be honest here. Every company looks through the options of monetization in general and discusses them in order to see which path should they go.
NFTs came to the gaming world fast, and they came mainly with the idea to scam people, which led to the huge backfire.
I have watched many videos from Kira, Callum, Josh Strife, and many other, and I do think that NFTs can be utilized without breaking the game.
At this moment, no NFT talks are being made, so no worries about that.
We want to and will continue to discuss all kind of opportunities, that doesn't mean that something this important will be implemented without discussing it with our community.
The game will be free-to-play and no pay-to-win stuff will be sold in the shops, that is 100% guaranteed!
