And what is exactly stopping you from making your own party?, Afraid to be a party leader? Afraid that people won't join you?. Because in my experience I can take 1.4k AP character and make MSP party without a problem, so I don't understand... Please help me understand, If you don't recruit on your own, then of course with lower AP/Gear it might make it more difficult to join a party, most people don't want to stress them self with sluggish runs so they make their own requirements for fast farming, everything in this game requires you a lot of grinding, no one wants to spend 1 week farming when you can do it in like 3 days for example, so they ask higher Requirement, If no one is taking you to their group, why can't you make your own?. what is stopping you?
Yes I am happy, because I can focus on other things, things that are as much important as Vials, but hey, you could say, "why don't you Just skip the event" well, it's hard to skip when there's Free Vials..., But when there is no event, then there is no headache too.
And all you're doing to get those Vials and Pet Packs is clicking your mouse 2 times per day...
There are a lot of things you can do that can make you richer then an average person in the game if you put time into it and your not afraid to make your own parties, Invest your time into making 10 Characters for example, Gear those characters with BT Gear a.k.a BT Accessories,BT Weapon, Slap some badge on it, PvE Neck and VT SS over time, and look you will be making 2.5k Gold per week or 14 hours of playing a week, a.k.a 2 hours per day and if you're lucky with 100g drops from box, even up to 3k+ Gold a week, just by doing BT and VT. seems pretty Free 2 play to me, Been doing this method for as long as I remember and collected + - , You can easily be a Free to Play player and have high gear. if you are willing to put time and effort into it nothing happens fast, it will pay off in a long run, but if you're that type of player who joins the game, plays for a month and wants to have maximum gear and clear newest Raid and call yourself F2P. well then I have bad news for you. Majority of those -2.6k+ AP players spent 4 years of playing to achieve where they are now, so don't expect magic to happen if you want to be a pure Free 2 Play player.
