The tags for the swords are an interesting addition, but the higher-level tags seem unreasonable to get. The super-powerful level 15 tag (+497721 attack just for starters...) is likely going to pretty much be impossible to get, especially since we can't even buy the lower-level tags from the market. The max-level tag would cost the equivalent of 3^14 level 1 tags, or 4,782,969 tags. If the player decides to spend gold instead of tags, it would cost 23,914,845 gold, which is roughly $266,800. This just seems impossible to get... even the biggest spenders are never going to come close to spending that kind of money on the game. And here I thought the Sword of the Apocalypse was absurd with its 50,000 gold price tag, but that's nothing compared to the level 15 tag. Edit: By the way, since each sword can hold up to 5 tags, that's 837,019,575 gold, which is $9,338,000 or 167,403,915 level 1 tags.
It's not a PS3 game to finish in 4 hours it's rather a game to play months even years. Tags can be obtained in drops, so no need to speak about true money. With time, you can get and synthesize nice ones
I tell you what... tell me how many level 1 tags you can get in a week, and we'll use that number to calculate how long it would take to get 167,403,915 of them. Without real data, let us be ridiculous and say you can get 10,000 level 1 tags per week, something that is completely unattainable. That would still take 322 years to get 35 level 15 tags. Or, 9 years and a couple months to get a single tag. So, sure, with time, I can synthesize nice ones, but I don't plan to live for the next few centuries, so... maybe they should be more easily attainable.
embrezar might have the right idea working those numbers lol maybe they will rethink making this game easier to obtain or lower costs to upgrade....
