So, in other words, just another pay-to-win $hit of EA? I am perfectly aware that the company doesn't invest in developing the game for a charity so they do expect some revenue from it. But to claim the game is free, while actually playing it is not, is hypocrisy of high level!
I've played MMO games with varying intensity for the past over 20 years and I have seen many ways to generate income without heavily impacting the gameplay. Remove of advertisements, various skins and avatars, time-saving features and so on. Look at DotA, not even browser based, and still completely free. You can buy plenty of skins, music, sounds, level decorations, etc., but not a single weapon or hero upgrade. At the same time the game generates one of the greatest incomes in the industry.
Or, if you are really convinced how good your game is, then put a subscription fee after, let's say a month of trial, and if the people really like to play it, they will pay and be happy to play at even conditions.
But yes, there were also plenty of examples, where a game claims to be free, but you can buy resources, units, upgrades and everything with real world cash, thus the balance going to the rich, but not to the skilled. Seems this game is another of the mentioned scams.
If you understand the tactics of the game then you’ll realise it takes a year to level up to get into masters league. And only if you put aside the poor attitude and realise you can earn everything for Free! And upgrade all the way to level 15 units. Probably would take about 3 years to level 15. So just remember you play to upgrade faster not pay to buy a unit.
you truly don’t understand pay to win games if you call this a pay to win game. It’s just pay to upgrade faster.
yes I agree it’s truly frustrating around tier 8. But it’s a wall you have to push through. And yes it’s considered a pay wall. But can be broken WITHOUT paying a cent.
