Aren't most of these just straight up money laundering?

For something that's supposed to empower the gaming masses it sure seems picky on who gets to see it.

Wouldn't want any dissenting voices getting into the echo chamber.

There's nothing I love more about playing video games than logging in to check a real time cooldown then immediately exiting to do something else.

Isn't that EVE Online?

Elder Scrolls Online is bad enough with how you learn crafted equipment traits (inherent stat bonuses). The first trait takes six real life hours to learn per item category (one-handed swords, daggers, helmets, belts, etc.) and then doubles for each trait after that. So six, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192 hours, up to 30+ real life days for the final trait. There are 21 armor categories (three armor "weights" with seven pieces each), 12 weapons types, and two jewelry types with nine traits each so researching them all could take over a real life year year. So of course you can buy "Instant Research" scrolls in the cash shop to speed things up. Luckily you can max out all crafting professions on a single character and then ignore crafting on your alts.

Same goes for leveling up the three stats of your character's mount/riding "skill": Speed, Inventory, and Stamina. Each stat has a maximum of sixty and you start at zero. You can level up one skill a day by a single point with a small amount of in-game currency so getting a single character fully leveled will take about six real life months. And again there are "Skill Books" in the cash shop that speed this way up. This is one of the reason I have not created a new character in while as mounts feel bad unless you stats have been leveled enough.

Yosuke "NFTs are the future!" Matsuda is "stepping down" as President of Square Enix. He is being replaced by Takashi Kiryu who previously worked for a technology company devoted to researching emerging trends such as blockchain and web3.
