I know I'm in the minority here, but...
I don't really get the fuss over the Wheel. I don't. For somebody to buy their way to any significant amount of leveling, they would have to lay down a BOATLOAD of real-world cash. I mean, BUCKETS. For more than one skill.
So, let's say somebody pays thousands of dollars to level up multiple skills via the Wheel. That's *one player* that does that.
First of all, how is this *one player* going to affect EVERYBODY else in-game? I know they're certainly not going to affect me.
Secondly, exactly how many people do you expect to put out this sort of money? 10? 50? 1000? I don't see many people being willing to do this, I just don't. At least, not enough for it to make a noticeable difference.
In terms of the items, again--even with this increase, there are so few released that I don't think they'll have an impact.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting the existence of the Wheel. My stance on it is definitely more one of "meh". It's here, I play my spins, I move on with my day. It's just that, when you sit back and think about it logically, it really *doesn't* impact you or your gameplay. How other people choose to get their xp doesn't reflect on you or your accomplishments. And as I said, I just can't see bunches and bunches and bunches of people paying enough to level with the Wheel in a significant amount.
And yes, I'm an RS vet--I've been playing since 2003. So please don't start screaming "entitled kid wanting everything handed to them" at me. I still do all my skills the hard way, and at 40, I'm definitely one of the older players in the game.
