Since sleeping is the only way to gain Labor points, which are normally sharply limited, the hot tub goes from being a fun vanity item to being arguably pay-to-win based solely on endless free Labor point refreshes. Player uproar ensued.
Redditors confirmed that only the property owner can benefit from the debuff removal, meaning that there’s going to be a pretty significant difference between players who do and do not have the $100 worth of credits and this “freebie.”

teppic Serrenity /eye-roll — it’s amazing how responding with anything other than torches and pitchforks means I’m somehow a white night.
Isn’t this the MMO that charges this kind of money for everything else in the game? just look back at the launch prices… so now we have never winter that mostly seems like they are selling ce versions of each expansion, arch age that every update is ce pricing for what? someone clearly wants it people bought the monocole… bdo that charges about forty dollars for a set of gear, I mixed and matched pieces and still and not sure if that means we don’t get cool looking loot, oh ya there is loot that looks cool too, swtor which most of the cool stuff is raid or boxes… so basically people decided to stop playing subs so dev’s are having to find things people will spend money on… the question is not if people will buy it but if they are making stuff you want to spend you money on…
How dare the devs attempt to monetize their MMO.
LordSolarMacharius Which is a shame. Trion was the one MMO company that I defended/supported for a long time. Defiance was my favorite MMO until they spent an entire year introducing monetized dungeon crawls that functioned so poorly that contacting customer service was almost a given at some point or another.
Not to mention, they only bother to add content to the game once a year these days.
Disgusting
Such greed, 100$ is so disgusting for an item like that. Any amount for that matter. I do have the feeling Trion will go bankrupt at some point soon. I also hope the CEO gets a taste of the poor life, good luck bastard!
That reddit post is not showing enough rage… so far i see less than 20 replies, lol.
BryanCo teppic A Dad Supreme I never get whether people are really naive enough to believe that a publisher has no control over the game they publish.
Serrenity Great shine on that armour there. Keep it up.
LordSolarMacharius I don’t get the ‘gets away with stupid crap like this’ — what does that even mean?  If you don’t agree with it, don’t buy it.  If you don’t buy, they won’t sell it. Â
Really, the outrage is getting old. Â A developer can make a press releases without the foaming rabid community coming out of the woodwork claiming foul of some perceived slight against them. Â
That, and it’s vogue right now to assume that absolute worst about Trion (and really, any developer) in every possible situation. Â
It’s getting old.
