Then they should also allow people to use blue crystals for the pass.
Every single blue crystal in Lost Ark was paid for with money from a customer, there is no reason not to be able to use them for the pass
Not all blue crystals actually paid for. Did you know there is a lot of blue crystals on the market that are there because of illegal transactions? Also people doing RMT from gold farming gets you those illegal blue crystals. I am fairly certain no one going to do illegal transactions to get the pass. Deal with it or dont buy it. That simple.
This ark pass got me 3 characters from 1300 to 1340 in a day from only 20 levels of it, that’s literally more than like a month of naruni event could do in terms of honing mats I mean
either way even if they released valtan rn you’d still whine about no content after beating valtan after 2 hours
and then if they released everything in kr to na rn you’d whine about not enough ilvl to do all the content and whine about the game being p2w
i love how people are mad you can buy mats for real money “now” but were always ok when it was obfuscated by one additional layer (exchanging money to gold, buy mats/buy crystals and then buy mats).
stay mad bois
You can buy these mats with blue crystals aswell. However, you can’t do it with power pass. Poor Amazon I forgot that they are a small indie company that needs milk every penny to bring us amazing updates 
it’s $15~30 once every 4 months 2 times a year but go off
ffxiv sub is literally way more expensive than the ark pass in the same time frame but thats fine w/ everyone
Ok I skipped most of the toxic replies in this thread but here’s my take as a completely f2p player on principle not because of poverty who will not be buying premium.
The ark pass is fine. People have already outlined the multitude of reasons why but I want to zero in on one thing.
If someone gets a “good deal” on mats, they are incentivized to pay, and can hence, efficiently get ahead of someone who does not buy that amount assuming they play same amount. I think this is the issue many battlepass detractors have.
The problem is that as an f2p player you need to understand that if you think pay2progress=pay2win that means you think progress=win.
I can’t tell you what to do but imho if you need superiority over others from pure time alone, notice the amount of 1490 whales then reconsider. Or were they too far away? Maybe its because you now no longer have to be a “whale” to get ahead so the annoyed f2ps find it harder to rationalise why X person is ahead of them.
Either way, find enjoyment in the game outside of superiority over others. If you can’t then quit. Seriously I don’t say this lightly but if your only enjoyment is flexing on others, just quit. This is 1000% not the game for you, even more so than if you hated honing or raids or whatever.
As a final note, I want to add that just because you cannot flex on people by playing super efficiently and a lot, while people who pay can, does not make it a mobile game.
Lost ark is a pay2flex/speedup game. If you consider flexing and speeding up over others winning, just quit. You will despise this game.
Edit:
After posting this I thought of a good tl;dr summary.
Don’t think of lost ark as a race, but rather a movie. Some people want a fast track to the good parts, but for the rest, we should enjoy the watch

False. You can acquire blue crystals, quite a lot of it weekly, by just trading gold on Mari shop for blue crystals.
If ark pass could be purchased with blue crystals then there would be no guaranteed cash revenue stream b/c while RC are 100% only obtainable via cash, blue crystals can easily be acquired using nothing but in game generated gold.
Did you really not know you can convert gold to blue crystals? Or just being disingenuous to make your false case
love how this thread is still up but the one I made right before it called “ark pass, more like scam pass” got deleted and I got a 1 day ban
literally was just stating my opinion too, I wasn’t being rude or anything. Guess you aren’t allowed to have an opinion on these forums

That’s because you made an unproved allegation of criminality. E.g. accusation of “scam”.
While the OP here only expresses an opinion. Calling ark pass “trash” is subjective opinion. Calling it “scam” is accusation of criminal conduct, hence your well deserved but far too short 1 day ban.

good thing that isn’t for you to decide since you’re nobody
calling something trash is actually inflammatory. Since when is calling something a scam a bannable offense?
it’s censorship
Wherever you got your education, get a refund if possible since clearly learned nothing.
First, censorship is not something you are protected from on private forum, only censorship from a governmental entity. You have zero rights to run your mouth anywhere you please then cry censorship when on non-governmental forums.
Second, I didn’t have to decide anything, since you admitted yourself you got banned. Hence that decision was made by Amazon staff. Congrats on the ban, couldn’t happen to more deserving guy.
Last, calling something trash is a subjective opinion, someone’s trash is another’s treasure. All subjective, all opinion. If your emotional response to it is to be inflamed, that is on you.
You have no special protections from speech you don’t like. Odd, considering your reflexive crying of censorship before. Which is it sir hypocrite, you value free speech or want censorship b/c the cost of free speech is reading some things you consider ‘inflammatory’.

Yup, perfectly fine.
Unlike you though I learned not to be all emotional and get “inflammatory” responses to mere words. You know, kindergarten playground stuff.
Congrats on that ban you got again. 5 stars, kudos, let’s do it again.
Because free players profit from the royal to gold exchange
If the Arkpass Premium would only reward cosmetic/quality of life items I couldn’t argue with it, same if the Pass could be purchased by spending blue crystals or Royal crystals
Lucky. I’m 5 Lvs off for that adorable Vertus pet
Damn that was fast. Thought i was ahead of the game at level 26 lol
Well … take your time with it.
I’m done with the express missions and the ark pass.
Almost done with last weeks “extra” stuff.
But I still got South Vern xD
The premium is a steal at the price and the rewards it gives. Used the mat to promote from T2 toon to T3 1340. Reasoning of using the for T2 mat to promote toons (depending each situation as have unlock the honing buff T3 with my main) is that Ark pass is a one time thing the odds of for T2 to T3 1340 is better than spending it all on the main char since you will need those alts post event which will give constant inflow of mat and sell them for gold.
The super premium is not necessary a scam as it is not force to user to buy it. Also, most of the stuff you get in the Super premium you can buy it with blue crystal via gold conversion, basically free except cost your time to farm and pass abyss.
