Please stop suggesting Patch Linden did not do his research. It's kind of rude.
He clearly says he personally approved the submitted operation and design of the vendor and he will not be reading any more discussion about it in this thread.
If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple as that. I'm not surprised the people that didn't like gacha, don't like this new vendor system either. It will never be your cup of tea and that's fine. But for those who enjoy this vendor, let them have their nice things.
