Title says it all. Since I have started playing, I haven't understood why the game doesn't allow us to equip trinkets at all unless we pay real money and/or energy to unlock them. This is straight up pay-to-win. The fact the unlocks only last 30 days makes me hesitant to buy them as well. The game already makes money off of prize boxes and purchasing energy, I don't see giving all players at least one trinket slot to be a big issue. Even a permanent unlock for a large energy cost is better than the current system in my view. If you disagree or I'm missing something, feel free to bring it up.
Please allow us to permanently unlock at least one trinket slot

You could argue the whole game is p2w
I get where youre coming from but like aaharu said its such a tiny cost, its basically a single arcade or fsc run for both trinket slots unlocked for a month, keeping in mind they are some of the best buffs you can get. I mean you cant use p2w as an argument when you can literally buy a gm bis weapon through buying energy with a credit card and converting it to crowns.

Lets say this in a KINDER way instead of being hostile.
I do get this but believe me, the crown cost for energy now is WAY cheaper than what it used to be, before if you argued this back when energy conversion was back in its 10-15k cr era, id be inclined to agree slightly but even then, you can play through the entire game without trinkets or weapon slot upgrades entirely, you dont need trinkets to get through most progression. Its only real value comes out of doing a lot of normal endgame content imo (im not counting coliseum gamemodes for any god damn pvp addicts reading this).
I honestly think energy cost right now is at a good spot being around the 3-4k mark since you can easily get those boosts you are complaining about JUST from playing the game normally and turning your crowns into that energy. And trust me, you'll make back the cost in the month you use it. You dont need to spend a single dime to access them easily.

Re
I admit I could have said this in a less aggressive manner, I was not intending to be hostile. It's not that I cannot afford them, I'm at Vanguard rank and frequently do solo FSC; it's moreso the principle, even if it were 10k crowns for 100 energy a few runs of FSC would get you more than enough to unlock a slot, as Aaharu said. A detail I forgot is that the game gives trinkets as rewards for doing the main campaign. I don't understand why they would give any trinkets if the players didn't by default have at least one slot to equip them with.

Slot acquisiton aside...
Trinkets are such a niche (especially with the colosseum stagnancy & the astounding decision to nerf pentahearts) that I doubt 90% of players ever slot them, I know I don't, from the start to the end, I haven't felt the necessity to unlock them because there are no valuable trinkets beside the hardest ones to obtain (pentaheart, TLL, somnambulist etc).

I wouldn't mind paying 10000 energy for something like this. I just don't want to have to think about it.

@Zeddy
Technically you could spend 10k E on trinket slots and keep extending them, which would get you 66 months of 1 unlocked slot. Not permanent, but long enough duration to not need thinking.

That wouldn't work at all. If I did that back in 2013 when I still played the game it would've long since expired by now.

At least one permanent Trinket Slot
I agree we need at least one permanent trinket slot. Will let us be able to use these things when we either can farm for them, get them for free, or craft them at the Krogmo Alchemy Machine. We can't really try these out if we gotta pay for them. So I hope it's possible for one slot to be permanent as well.

Not only one
Yes, make it permanent but not only one, make all trinket and weapon slots permanent. The current system makes no sense at all, is not a decent money sink and makes me reluctant of unlocking them on months that i'll be playing very little (probably making less money through gameplay than i would spend on unlocks).
Also, a permanent unlock gives you the feeling of completion that the end game should give. Instead of having temporary slots that you could buy pretty early in a new account, you would have a end game reward that gives the feeling of progressing in the game.
I already have monthly bills to pay in real life, I don't need that bullsh*t in the game.
Please explain to me how trinket and weapon slots are pay to win. Also, what rank are you? if you think 250 energy or 150 energy a month is expensive then the problem is you my friend.
