  No, not even close, unless you have the unholiest of luck.
  
  Think more in the order of 1-500 dollars.

  
  
  This, I know someone who made a full mag card within 20$ :T_T:

  That's kinda bullshit.
  
  No, I take it back. That's really bullshit.
  
  It's kinda like getting a 66%+ elemental.
  
  Either that, or I just have astonishingly shitty luck. I'M LOOKING AT YOU 300 REFORGES TO GET AN ELEMENTAL ON KNIGHT LANCE.

  Luck is a fucking sadist.
  
  My abyss took 51(yes I counted) kits to r2, then 5 to r1, then 20+ to get the reforge I wanted.
  My Cressida wear took 4 Kits to r1, then 25+ kits to get the target reforge.
  
  I consider myself the luckiest basterd on earth, because I've heard some crazy shit.

  Good grief. Count your blessings.

  Ya'know, I can forgive reforges, they've been nice to me.
  
  But I fucking can't forgive special upgrading, never.

  You know, I always had great luck with artisans, getting max amount in the damage giving stat in one or two tries. And special upgrading to a S5 usually took like 7 stones at most. But then I started working on real weapons and red upgrades, then the gods of luck really show you how they feel about you. . . What I don't like is that so many aspects people consider to achieve endgame is dependent on luck. Artisan upgrades, enchanting, reforging, special upgrading, combo card re-slotting (I only ever got two water cannons in a row T -T), and not to mention actually getting the equipment.

  Luck in this game has always evened out for me in the end, so i don't really care.

  I feel lucky whenever I finish something gear wise, Special upgrading, reforging, enchanting and so on.

  This is how it usually/always is in MMOs from my experience. They like to add on huge amounts of artificial difficulty especially when you get closer to the endgame, by making it so that the stars must be aligned for you to get what you want, and the kicker is that they make you pay money for a single chance at many of the things, either that or shell out huge amounts of in-game currency to buy it from other players, which means that the price is usually very inflated because the economy is often made up of brats... Of course, this is not only profitable for them but also requires minimal effort with regard to actually making it into a good game...
  
  MMOs: Gambling, gambling, and more gambling. Yay.
  
  EDIT: This is just for "free to play" games though. Pay to play games are the best, but even so, having to pay every month is enough to make me not want to bother...

  In my opinion, end game is how strong you can be completely naked, only using NPC-grade weapons. Who cares how hard you 1-hit an enemy in elite, I want to see if you can 1-hit them with Spiked Knuckles or a Physis Lance.

  Spiked knuckles? okay
  Lances, though...they're supposed to revolve around piercing as their forte, so 1-hitting with a physis lance is just...meh.

  You don't know true luck until you try step 5 to 6.
