1kEC? Poor Steroids...
I personally don't think ANY woman should allow a guy to buy her gear, or anything else willy nilly (unless its a special occasion, like holidays). I'd never buy them gear, I'd help them farm it though. :3 Like for rank 8, I'd make a point of helping them run BHs on their main and alts or offer suggestions for ways to achieve it, I wouldn't outright give it to them though.
"So, does this mean that you support the idea of a male having to pay for his in-game wife's gear. Not just gear, whatever she wants. Won't that mean women depend on men? Do you want this old policy to be renewed? Cuz I'm against it. Men and women are equal, I don't see why the girl has to depend on the guy. - Steriods"I have NEVER asked for a DIME from my husbands and never will, I get them birthday presents, Christmas presents, and I help them farm when they ask for help, I expect the same courtesy back to me, nothing more. I've also paid for my end of every marriage I've ever had on a game unless it was a downright surprise from their end where they bought both packs. Otherwise, I typically meet that person half way and I feel like this is how it should be. I don't like to take advantage and I make a point to try very hard not to.

And here I am giving a couple thousand ecs a week to my husband for absolutely no reason at all...Welp.
Like people have said, this is a game, who the fck takes anything seriously ingame?
If that is your opinion, that is fine. An opinion is just that, a subjective opinion. I really would rather you just state yours without dismissing or demeaning mine in a negative way. 1k-2.5k EC a pack seems about right to me for marriage, in PWI it was something special and even in some other private servers, it was something a little more rare than it is here. Also, that's not an unreasonable amount to farm for it. Marriage is treated as a joke, and to me it shouldn't be, if that's not your opinion, fine, but do not belittle me for mine please. I treat it as something special and meaningful even if it is on a GAME, it still involves REAL people with REAL feelings. Sure some people will take it as just a game, no attachment, that's fine, that's your choice. Same with people who only marry friends, that's fine too, no one is saying its not nor denying you the ability to treat it as such. Please stop assuming and getting defensive. As for marriage quest, it should not be a waste of time, nor treated as a joke either, I personally went the 300+ days of doing MQ in the normal game to get that teleport to your spouse skill on PWI and it was plenty worth it to me. That's 10 months of doing that quest. It WAS something special when I achieved that and I like long haul rewards for long term goals. It adds a sense of achievement which is vital to the health of MMOs in general and this game has very few long term goals since most everything can be farmed quickly, easily and then we're just expected to PK the rest of our days and be satisfied? Sorry, that's not where I find my fun, my personal fun is from achieving long term goals and accomplishing things, that's what keeps me hooked to a game, otherwise I get bored and move on quickly. Its not just the spam of people marrying that's the problem, its the attitudes behind it and the misogyny that breaks out unpunished on WC about it that I find rather offensive. And how is something exclusive to anything excluding others? If you don't think its worth while to go for it, then don't, there's nothing stopping you from opting out of it. I said nothing about an overpowered helm that was game breaking and would make this game unbalanced, I only said something marginally better, which could mean anything from a tiny boost in HP, to something significant, but I was trying to keep the point at something only a bit better and quite costly for only that tiny increase. If its not worth it to you, that's fine, it would be to someone like me and perhaps some others. Also, it was a suggestion among other possible rewards.
