It’s not like the game has been smooth lately, lots of complaints of DC and we’re nearing a huge patch involving tripods and we need pheons to buy those from the AH.
10 pheons per character already created seems huge, but in reality, if you have 6 or less, it’s not even enough to fully gear a single toon. So AGS, please let us claim those pheons and keep them as compensation, as a way of spoiling your players, as a way of retention, as a good publisher.
