Why? $.
May not be the only factor, but it's one, for sure. To say otherwise would be a lie.
Also be a lie to say that the other servers are balanced, or Era at least, when it comes to the prices versus player income topic. Zone's the exception, but, really, Zone's the freak of nature out the family, so we'll just tuck that one out of sight.
But, yeah, been meaning to reply, as I've honestly got a lot to say about this, but it wouldn't change anything anyway. Graal's run how it's run, and, much like the world outside the window, words alone won't play savior. That's how it is.
So, I'll spare ya the diatribes.
