Well it also gives some interesting rewards for range dps and clerics coming on dlr. I mean we legit have to ask for friends to help us cuz since they can't sell exten, there is almost no point coming dlr for them.
+ i don't really agree on the p2w aspect because it also creates economy among crafter who can sell the rod. I'm not talking about AP mail because this is for sure p2w, however the loot of extendable is extremely ramdom and mail passes can help overcome the wrong loot situation on a team.
Look, everyone selling ecoins can buy composite enchant stone temporing solution and goes full gear. At this point non AP mail pass is legit fair.
Anyone who hasn't try to loot exten in dlr cannot understand how frustrating it is.
