I dont mind that GF's business plan about Aion is only focused on new players (face it, Aion is not newcomer friendly unless you throw €€€ to gear very fast). However, no matter how GF advertises/teases Aion on all legal means, community feedback on social media also has an advertising effect.
I'm not marketing mastermind, but I'd say that advertising an game and targeting it toward new players isn't good idea given:
- Multiple users getting insta banned at account creation every week and no noticable solutions being implemented in that matter (duh, newbies need to figure out themself to ask support)
- There's litterally nothing done to let newbies catchup (or atleast not feel useless compared to other players
- Everything valuable is hidden behind rng ("long-term goals").
- Pretty much closed and toxic community
