It's more suitable for PvP and such occasions. Soulshots in L2 were monopolised by a race, while no such concept exists in Aion. To point out a couple more flaws, in L2, one had to have top gear to be able to kill mobs at an efficient rate, compounded with a hyperinflated economy which made it near impossible to get anywhere or even level up unless you did your daily grind to accumulate enough dough for teleportation and supplies (potions, soulshots...). I really don't think soul stones/shards (영혼석 - Aion's name for 'soulshots') will play the role of money sinks in the game, seeing how their role is designed to be much more diminutive than their counterparts in L2.
You heard the man. /thread

Just like those gemstones in WoW, it's not a necessity, it's if you got the money and if you wan't to be more powerful. This is not a big deal in anyway.
