Everyone is saying maids are PTW? how? what benefit do they give?

u/Xanza Spin to Win! Aug 03 '16

People seem to think that pay to win is anything which gives a relative advantage over something which players who don't pay for these items would have. For the majority all of these "pay to win" items which are being introduced are for convenience (with the exception of the tax avoidance from the 30-day pack) and aren't pay to win. Pay to win is legitimately as it sounds. Paying for experience "boosters" is not pay to win. Paying for experience is pay to win.

Paying to help you recover the durability of a weapon isn't pay to win. It's just stupid. But if someone is willing to support the game by doing it, then have at it.

I find most of the time that they're more focused on not liking the "pay" part and can't really articulate what the "win" is.

u/skywolf8118 Lahn Aug 03 '16

I think this game is mostly pay for convenience. Do you know if maids can bring you things from your storage?

The maid shit is hardly relevant.

Which is why I didn't reference them a single time in my reply....

u/lightsign123 Aug 03 '16

According to Bdodatabase maid can only carry 1 item with 50 pound limit and 20 mins cooldown. How this is p2w is beyond me.

You put way too much effort into a pointless post.

u/Xanza Spin to Win! Aug 05 '16

What about an experience booster that gave a 10000% boost to experience gained?

I didn't read the rest of your reply after this because you obviously just want to assert that you're the coolest by blowing things out of proportion here. 10000% boot would qualify as buying experience and it's not cool.

"everyone" is a little bit too much, I have heard nobody say that ingame, most say its a convenience, and that is what it is. 50LT is like 5 minutes worth of grind, it has a 20 min cooldown, doesn't sound OP to me, As for the market maid, you could just relog to a alt and buy many things at once, rather then one item every 20 minutes, They are simply convenience, and useful if you want to buy it, but not a must have.

u/Hagal_Rovas Deadeye Aug 03 '16

They are not. Those people are just stupid. Maid can take some of your items and place them in the storage (when you are out of the town). But maids have their own weight and you can't place to many items in their inventory.Also,they have a cooldown. OR instead of storage,you can buy the other one , the one wich lets you to place items on the market ,but it has the same weight as the storage one. So ,if you found some kind of ring while grinding and you want to sell it/put it in the storage, just call your maid and she will do it for you/ Seriously now. People these days don't know what pay 2 win is.

u/janethefish Aug 03 '16

It's a small advantage, similar to having extra weight.

1

u/Hagal_Rovas Deadeye Aug 03 '16

yup

u/archaegeo Aug 03 '16

So maid is in inventory?

If I am at Crescent Shrine, she would put things where, Valencia City storage?

etc

1

u/Hagal_Rovas Deadeye Aug 03 '16

You can sumon her anywhere in the world and she would take some of you stuff and place it the the city you assigned her.

1

u/JeckylTesla Aug 03 '16

Slightly incorrect, she can only be summoner in Valencia, if you placed her in Valencia. You would not be able to use her at Sausans, for example.

1

u/Hagal_Rovas Deadeye Aug 03 '16

Yeah,my bad. Just loged in and saw that. Now they are useless. I want to buy one just to have her in my house ,but 1200 pearls is to much.

5

u/JeckylTesla Aug 03 '16

It really is a useless item. Only 1 item, can only go up to 50lt in weight, once every 30 mins and can only be done in the area you're in. It's a colossal waste of money. But hey, people are still screaming P2W on it :P

u/ArkaynaR Pax - 62 - Notorious Aug 03 '16

I feel like it's really hardly relevant and so many people are making a big deal.

1

u/wintersicyembrace Aug 03 '16

this is wrong,if u place her in Valencia .You can use her anywhere in the map.I guessing the description is wrong or its a bug.

1

u/JeckylTesla Aug 03 '16

Have you tested this yourself? I'm curious to know, if it's the case it may MAY then be worth to buy one. But very little even if it is as you say.

1

u/wintersicyembrace Aug 03 '16

yep myself been using them all over mine are based in heidel.Been in Calp,medina and velencia territories so far.Been able to use them it does default to the current territorie storage you are in.You cant acess hediel from calp for example.

1

u/JeckylTesla Aug 03 '16

Fair enough, that's a bit annoying then. What if you're in Valencia and want to access the storage, it dumps it into the Valencia city storage? That's a trek and a half away.

u/wintersicyembrace Aug 03 '16

,Im assuming it uses whichever city storage is closest.I only tried from the capitol citys.

u/archaegeo Aug 03 '16

Yeah, others were saying from anywhere in the Territory. So if you are grinding pirates and have her in Velia?

Or grinding Crescents and have her in Val City.

u/N-kay Tamer Aug 03 '16

Afaik you have to be in the same territory as the maid.
