Fallen Earth Cash Shop Sucks!

I purchased Fallen Earth Back in the day, and honestly it sucked then, and sucks even worse now, and allow me to explain why.
As we all know Fallen Earth went Free 2 Play not too long ago, I decided to download, and look at Fallen Earth, and the game just doesn't offer me anything making me want to play the game at all.
Okay so besides the game looking boring as hell, lets talk about things that would make me want to play the game.
First of all, Items Shop/Cash Shop!
I would play Fallen Earth, however after looking at the cash shop they charge you per character for every single little thing, want to hide a piece of armor they charge you G1 Credits just to turn a armor you wish to hide invisible, and why would they do such?
These options are fine for basic F2P users, however lets say I want to stick $29 a month into the game for a commander account, or even a Waste Lander subscription, they should allow me access to customize my character any way I please at any time, however they have taken a bad route to this game by restricting, and on top of your $29 subscription charge they make you pay extra for hiding armors on your character, and it doesn't say if you can reuse it if you change your equipment so I assume its a 1 time use thing.
Reset Injectors, Another major part of the game is Respecing, this should be 100% Free for a subscriber paying $29 a month in the least a user should not have to pay G1 Credits if subscribed for this.
Valet, Summon a Garage Manager if you lost your mount? Why should a subscriber have to even spend extra money to buy these and let alone 5 uses, and on one character.
Why the need for multiple Characters per account? It is a sandbox game right, like DarkFall, so why not allow people to be who they want to be as a character, let people max out everything and level everything up and enjoy the game stop restricting people to how they can play, in the very most allow people to respec anything when they please. Seriously Fallen Earth could be a very successful MMO, at least to a certain point, but the company who now owns it made it fail even worse.
Over All, you want a sandbox game, go play DarkFall, or something else Fallen Earth just isn't worthit.
Bottom Line my Opinion.
G1, two words for you all as a company, You Suck, and so does your management, or whoever is in charge of running things they obviously do not know what players want.
All Points Bulletin, was another free game I played that game for over 5 hours every single day when it was owned by RTW, however since G1 Owned it at first I played it quite a bit then Aimbotters came back I quit, now compared to when the game first released and now G1 has ruined that game as well selling rented weapons, restrictions to 1 character instead of all characters on the account, and high costs, even if you are paying a monthly fee, they should give access to a lot more as long as you are paying and offer extra perks that are not a major part of the game, such as XP Boosters, and such.
Want to make an Extra $30 a month from me as a player, then give us more as a subscriber, give us what we want, and stop charging so much for things that make players happy and want to play the game, I want to see additions for subscribers such as Fulyl in depth customization of characters in game FREE OF Charge, sell basic textures such as new added clothing which your designers make in the cash shop, but all basic designs in the game created before G1 owned it become free for people to customize their items the way they please.
Want to make me even want to play the game, as a Subscriber do not make me have to pay for respecs do not force me to play my characters the way I want why should I have to play more than one character, level through the same boring missions two or three times, for example if I want to melee someones ass in PVP with a sword, I should be able to, if I get bored the next hour I should be able to pull out my sniper and shoot someone in the head, get bored of that I should be able to go craft without the need to level characters seperately and such its boring no need, and nope after what I just saw right now I have no plans of returning to Fallen Earth, or APB until G1 gets common sense and gives players more for their money.
Even Frogster who hosts Runes OF Magic, even offers Double/Tripple Diamonds quite often why? Because they know if they do it keeps customers happy, people buying selling, and trading compared to not doing such I will not buy 3000 diamonds for $100, but I will buy 6000+ bonus diamonds for $100, let alone 7000+ and those can go quite aways compared to buying and spending money with Perect World Games, Nexon, or G1 which way over charge and get very greedy.

I am coming back after having not played in over a year and I dont even know what 'Valet, Summon a Garage Manager if you lost your mount?' is so I guess I dont have to worry about paying for it
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

A subscriber paying $29 a month? Why are you paying $29 a month for a F2P game?
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
First off, you start by saying:
Game sucks
Doesn't offer anything that makes you want to play
Then go ahead and say:
I would play this game, if it wasn't for the cash shop, and how it is structured
Why would you play a game that sucks, and doesn't offer anything that would make you want to play, even if there were no cash shop?
But looking away from that part, I agree if someone is paying 30 bucks a month on a sub, everything should be open, there should be no extra goodies to buy, it should be fucking delivered to you on a silver plate.... 30 freaking bucks!
But seeing that it's Gamers First running the show it doesn't surprise me, they are the cancer in this industry.
Look at APB, nothing have changed, it's the same as when it released the first time, only thing different is a cash shop booming with new shiny stuff to throw your money at.
Optional subscription for faster XP gain and monthly reward points. Three different ones, boosting XP from 75% (F2P) to 100%, 115% and 125% or something like that.
Personally i have more money than free time so doesn't bother me a bit. However, the only reason i'm not back playing is population worries and the fact that it's a 100% solo game.
I can answer that one....because F2P games aren't free.
On topic, OP could have just left it at "Cash Shops Suck" and that would about cover it. I am getting more and more out of those game with cash shops simply because you will end up either paying MORE then a subscription if you really want to be able to play these games or you will be left with not much of a game to play. Gamerfirst is probably one of the worst when it comes to over pricing and trying to make their games only fully accessable if you use their shop. Although there are others that charge hefty amounts for digitial junk.
Back to the quoted comment....why would ANYONE pay a sub in a so-called F2P game AND why would they make ridiculous purchases on a cash shop?
Let's party like it is 1863!
I just want to say one thing to you, all the items that u mention are ingame and atainable with out spending an extra dollar on the reward merchant NPC....as a commander u will get 500 points a month to spend as u see fit.
On top of that most of the new items are tradable wich means u can make chips and buy them, and i can tell u it's not as hard as i looks to make some decent money in this game.
If u want a fast route go ahead and buy the stuff from the market, if not make chips and combine it witrh reward points to achieve ur goals, it's all up to you.
ok lets step back just a second. How many games do you think there would be if nobody actually paid any money on the F2P system? You think game companies are just out there doing this for free?
That said, I played this game more than a year ago and I liked it as a huge solo game. I plan to play again as a relaxing diversion so for me I am in no hurry to max out the game thus I will not have to worry about paying for things like extra experience points or getting my horse back when I am stupid enough to lose it. So its all a total win for me

The game is actually pretty fun picked it up and subbed last month...
As for the cash shop well there aint much in there that you cant get in game with credits/rewards/faction points.
So things worth having are one on the bikes and the special crafting kit.
You can buy respecs with in game chips, yes when your max lvl its expensive but i like that it makes you think about how you want to develop your character.
Summon a Garage manager? there is a garage in every town you can recall your mount at those for next to nothnig so dont worry abotu this silly shop feature.
Multiple characters, well the reason for this is that you cant be a jack of all trades and thats a good thing as its one of the things that helped to Kill Darkfall. You can only really specialise in one weapon class in this and crafting ot multiple weapon classes and no crafting stuff like that. So most have an alt for crafting, but i do agree anyone who subs should get a free slot depending on what sub they went for.
Fallen Earth is just as much a sandbox game as Darkfall is, now they have the factio controll stuff and keeps. Sadly no full loot and its not quite as much fun in PVP as Darkfall is.
The top end sub for commander is a bit of a rip of thats for sure, but i just went for the standard sub for faster XP, once im maxed out guess what no more sun and ill just play for free LOL and not even look in the cash shop as i dont want any of the fluff.. Its probally one of the better cash shops as nothing in there gives you any major advantage in PVE or PVP.
At the end of the day its not a replacement for Darkfall as you dont get the rush as there is no open world full loot PVP
it dont make it a bad game but i think we are spoilt from having so much fun in Darkfall, its just a shame AV and a bunch of twits that dont know how to run a game LOL
As for APB, well its a lot mroe stable than it was at release that for sure so they have been doing somthing and im glad they brought the game up otherwise i never would have been able to give it a proper go.
You havent seen a thing buddy... Go download All Points Bulletin:Reloaded...
You wanna see a screwed up cash shop. It had maxed out perma-weapons that sold for $50-$60 dollar in the G1 store, I even made it a point to ask Fallen Earth's Facebook page poster/owner when he announced G1 bought them if G1 intended on making it a pay to win piece of shit too and he said "No..Fallen Earth wont be pay to win because its "mostly" PVE content" Judging by this post and the nickel and diming you are speaking of its not pay to win its pay to have otherwise common options found in most mmos. I wont drag Fallen Earth's name through the dirt because i enjoyed it quite a lot. I just have very little to no faith in G1 doing anything positive that wont = more cash spent on features that should be free or trying to sale mounts/weapons/gear for 3 times what a typical monthly fee would cost or more in some cases.
