On big number, 2 per 2 seems winner from the data collected but without having data from the game i can not be sure. There is no clear loss/win from doing other methods...but at least i am talking with a huge collaborative sample. But you can try the other method then are harmless.
In europe, we have nationnal lottery 2€ for tens of millions and european lottery for hundred millions. Not sure what you are talking about =).
I think you dont get my point. I play a game because it was ADVERTISED as not pay2win :
That i would never have to face a paywall for anything. But i can not compete in many aspect of the game because i can not PAY for max unity which is clearly permanent stat & power increases that one can not get before the end of the current season hence loosing to pay2win players which get the hmcoin we can not get.
I could enjoy a long term upgrade, for example :
- i enjoy farming my unity level which nobody can shortcut (yet). I would have liked a weekly limit or daily average instead of a daily limit but thats being picky.
- i enjoy farming CM which is on how good you drive (altough there is a bonus if you kill it early) and psyche which is also about farming hard mode dungeon (which dont require max gear). And on this one we dont have psyche in trove (yet?) while KR have it in trove.
- i enjoy farming raids altough you can shortcut the soulshield farm with money but you could also buy all the soulshields that drop and by the end of season everybody have it so its ok.
- soul, heart, pet, talisman are made with materials you can buy in F5 so if you are long time player you can usually afford and trove/boxes with help newcomers to catch up.
At most, troving would put you 1 to 3 month ahead of others so you can catch up before season end. But on unity stones it is years ahead which put you outside of competition for F11 and you loose many k of hmcoins !
Its fine you can enjoy the game knowing you'll never achieve top ranks. But i am not fine with it and many are not fine with it, just look at the reddit i posted there are only negative comments on the fact a pay2win got it day one while we will need years to achieve it.
