I'm pretty sure they know what this is. They're the ones producing it. There's nothing that says they can't offer Points for sale. People can still achieve it without spending.
It is fine for them to sell points, but I for one think the event is going much too long since additional points are just targeted towards 1% of the playerbase.
I've already reached the milestones I've wanted to reach, and now there is just 28 more days of twiddling my thumbs. The Fintech challenge seems like a waste of time since Realm points are meaningless to me. For a "Community event", this last month doesn't seem like it is for the community.
If its a community event, wouldn't people buying points help get more points for the community? I don't understand the math on this complaint…
Rank rewards yeah I get it; but community points?
No, because there are points to buy, those who spend a lot of money can easily peasy reach a very high rank or even first place, and so it is unfair to other players who don't want to spend any money and want to be at a high rank!
BringPopcorn Yes that's true but others also want a high rank reward and because others spend loads of money on points those who don't want to spend any money can't get a high rank because others have spent loads of money and thus secured first place etc. and so it's unfair to other players because not everyone has that much money!
I think you don’t really know the meaning of unfair. You and spenders both have equal opportunity to buy those points. Thats by definition fair.
You have zero idea
If they don't sell points everyone would have the same score and there would be no rank rewards…
