Why would Ncsoft intentionally put Warlock weapons in the game?

[Yui-chan]

It was said during the launch stream that the warlock weapons are not a bug. 

 

All this does is make it harder to get your weapon from drops and chests. Sure, if you plan on making a Warlock you can save the blue items, but the purple ones...what the hell? Don't tell me to use them as fodder because they cost soulstones to use. This leaves one option: Salvaging.

 

TLDR: You might as well put Element Powder in weapon chests, NCSOFT.

I suspect the NA client version is already at that update but locked the class and the later areas, maybe a strategy to make the major update lighter.

The reason is simple, not to release all contents at once and release little and little to keep the players interest. This is the simple strategy that has been using for most ports games.

 

Not to mention the included warlock weapon would make people more likely to buy blue key. Simple market strategy.

 

RNG will make people frustrate if they have bad luck.

 

You have to realize, in MMO games, what make people buy CS the most is HATE, REVENGE, FRUSTRATION AND IMPATIENT. Take advantage of these emotions and you can make lots and lots of money.
