I enjoyed the premium gacha system that was in place before, both in beta and now. I've played gacha games and other pet sties, and this is the first I actually felt good about rolling the dice on something - like the rest of the gacha in dappervolk, even if I didn't get the item I wanted, I could trade it on the market for the one I did want. Or I could sell it for the potatoes I needed for it.
I really don't understand why people are claiming that the previous system was horrible, illegal, and questionable. Everything about it was clearly outlined to work just as everything else does in the game, and honestly, it's probably the nicest gacha system I've ever played. You were GUARANTEED an item worth something! You had the choice of rolling for the item you wanted, or guaranteeing the full set! And if you are free to play, or just didnt want to spend money, it was easy to buy something off the market.
I'm sad to see that system go - I had a lot of fun rolling, and then trading for the items I specifically wanted. I'm not angry at the team for this decision, but I'm disappointed that fellow players thought lashing out at you guys was the right answer.
I've seen so much negativity towards the team lately and it felt like people were trying to force dappervolk into the mold of other, similar games and are going to continue to do so. I've appreciated the vision that Quislings and the rest of the team have been piecing together and showing us of the world of dappervolk, and am more than a little ticked off of how people are so quick to rip into a site that hasn't even been out a month. The dappervolk team has been incredibly quick to respond to the userbase, and be as transparent as possible with the small team they have and the amount of pressure they've been under from said userbase.
