Listen up! Stop paying attention to a small group of non-spending players who have no impact on the game. It's time to listen to the majority of players who invest money and effort into end game content. I've been a fan of this game because of its account sharing feature, which is why I've spent money to unlock multiple copies of each class. But now, with these stupid bound-to-character essences, I don't even want to do the delvings. You're ruining the game for those of us who actually support it through our time and money. Get your act together!
