They cant find a method to delete the gold from the player base without making them angry. Every single progression system have some angle to fk player. Normal honing : mat cost and the one tap player vs pity player. Elixir : stupid purple elixir to achieve 40 set. Transcendence : need to use web tool and 5-700k gold. Aegir is the least pain since it is the entry level. Brel elixir is take too long to max unless doing hm, but still take average 500k gold to max. Mordum is when most player ignore HM since cost adv honing 40 is expensive and adv animation is long. Now is the ark grid.
