Thats my point... the stats are temp. Meaning that they wont be as valuable after the event ends due to the fact that the stats are worse. And youre not spending 15$ to farm for it. You can either spend 3 weeks to farm for it, or 15$ to get it without doing any work. 

I mean, i normally farm and pay so it kinda evens out for me.

First of all, it's $15, NOT $20.  I don't know where you all got twenty dollars for the cost of the contract but it's 15.

$15 if you don't have a legendary xform on your account already is worth it, imo.  The contract is not "useless" as you put it after the event is over.  The pixel xform stats during the event are better than the 10 type legendary stats, but after the event, the pixel stats are roughly equal to the stats of the 10 type legendary set of xforms.  

I am also confused by your logic.  Free to play doesn't translate to you get everything you desire in game at no cost to you.  In what universe do you think a business should provide a free player with the same things as a paying customer gets?  Again, this is a business and they are in the business of making money to you know, pay the people that run/design/develop the game you're playing for free.  I struggle to understand why this concept is difficult for people to get...  

Whether you're a free player by choice or necessity, the game gives you the ability to access legendary xforms.  (The last event gave 1k coin bags to every unique character that got ONE class book.   That is easily a free legendary xform right there.)  The means to get the xforms are in game for you, as a free player you need to utilize the mechanics of the game to get the items you want. 

Also, I don't understand why you think you need an ultimate xform to enjoy the game, you don't.  Need and want are different concepts.  You WANT an ultimate xform, you don't NEED one.

 

saying 20 is to round it off, most will not want to do two transactions, when most can just spend 20 bucks, and get an extra 400 BCM for something else, or use it on luna to get bit more luna if they dont farm it.

Edit: forgot to mention the reason most want ultimate, is cause they think it'll make them good at the game, thats why. when they dont want to learn their class correctly.

But, you can only make so many items a day. Not to mention its entirely RNG based. I combined enough matierals for 8 outcomes, and only for 5 of the ones nessecary for the legendary transformation. With those rates, ill have to farm enough materials for 80 combinations. Let me be known, i spent about 30-45 mins to get enough mats for those 8. Its not 'early birds' they skipped out on the entire event, and are given an advantage other other players as they literally dont even have to do anything for that box. 

After some math, it seems you can get 3 pine needles, maybe like 13-15 if you stay up late enough for the mini boss thingy, a dy. Not to mention, the miniboss its solo loot so youre also competing with everyone else for it. For the rice, you can get 5 a day.I dont know about you, but ive seen no where where it says the bosses are. And the honey can be farmed up easily. With that, theres 15 rice a week, and 10 pine. So, going off my math thats 101 Pine, 36 rice, and  the honey is farmed up easily. All together, thats 36 combinations (as long as you have 180honey). So then you have to combine it and hope to get the right material. So 36 combinations a week, if your lucky 70-80% will be the right material, thats 25-28 materials a week. And that involves heavy farming, So, thats about 2-3 weeks for ONE box. Also let me say, the event lasts 3 weeks. So you may spend the next 3 weeks heavily farming these materials for one reward, one transformation. Thatll be worthless at the end of this event. While all someone had to do was log in when reset happened for a free box. No farming, No money, No problems  

Not to be rude, but this F2P logic sort of reminds me about that streamer who said if someone was watching her right now they have to have a job, and therefore should donate to her. Because people without jobs wouldnt have enought time to watch the stream. Now that being said. Im F2P for a reason.. and thats as simple as, im poor. I cant afford 20$ for one transformation thats useless in 3 weeks. Now, is that 100% movement speed useless, no. But I cant spend 20$ on a game, ive got some bigger expenses to worry about. 

People got that transformation for free, a 20$, 2-3 week grind transformation. For simply right clicking and pressing some buttons. And no matter what, even if youre p2w or f2p you should NEVER be able to just casually get something for free without doing anything. But, if you look at the servers. 90% of the time, those with Tiamat and Ereshikgal, multiple sets of advanced stigmas on multiple alts, the aetherforge weapon skin. They all paid for that. So, please tell me. Where is it fair for someone to buy one of the best transformations in the game, the best stigmas, and a weapon skin I cant even look at because im too poor. Right now in the game there is NO viable way for any free player to farm up Tiamat or Ereshikgal. From what ive seen, only 2-3 people have gotten the contracts from the vending machine in this event. So to me, thats not viable. And with this new event, you have to spent pretty much all your time farming for one single legendary contract. To be able to even farm up enough contracts it takes like 5-6 months. Of heavy, intense daily farming. And, even after those 5-6 months theres a chance you dont even get the ultimate contract.

The Contract box isnt useless, far as i can tell, its a perma one. There was no where it said it was a "temp" legend, the stats, were temp and would revert to their normal state if u were to read what it said. And NC wouldnt really make u spend 15 bucks for a 3 week contract...if it was for 3 weeks they would've made it 0 on the BCM. or evne if it was a 30 day item, it be only like 4 bucks anyways, why make an item that cost 15 dollars, and make it 3 weeks? THe stats are only a "temp" buff for the event, u can still get a chance at a legend contract, more than one way as of right now if u can spend money, the one via NPC is the same given to us on BCM, far as i can tell. because i did buy the one off the BCM, it wouldn't be in my list or even added to part of my compilation for that title...

Contract is 20$ NOT the free key...Ppl got FREE contract from bugged NPC that is 20$ in the shop AND ppl got it for FREE and NC removed NPC because of that...NOW does your peanut brain undrstand?

Let me explain, simple bugs to you, numbnut. when teh server booted up, after maint, there was a 10 min window, where teh NPC gave the legend contract for free. About 20 mins later, it went ot 30 event coins, then it was removed. The one on the BCM, was for those WHO DIDNT WANT TO DO THE EVENT OR WASTE TIME. It was a second way of getting it. the free "key" was to open the one u get via the event, use a little more common sense before you say stuff.

They removed NPC that got bugged and gave THOSE contracys for free...Do you get it now?

Hmm? i wasnt on for this, is there any proof of this? My buddy was on for server reset and didnt see it. I got on like 2 hours ago and spent 20 bucks on the BCM one.

Edit: also, if there was a bug, anyone who has played Aion for years, would know if that was a major bug, the server would be taken down and reset on the spot. and a roll back would've been done.

For all you nerds, that dont learn, that "free" contract xform, was for 20 dollars off the BCM.
