@ScreenhogRSnail Man, I have a BUNCH of compromises daily, and I was able to get Wizard in two days without glitches or paying money. Stop complaining about an easy thing you can do in a week of little dedication, when you have a full month to do it.
@Sammichu No, this game is NOT an example for what you said, the grinding can be done only be playing online, or playing anything you want easily, microtransactions are getting more and more a "no reason to buy* because of more rainbow stars peer week, and the fact that 99% of the game's buyable content is not gameplay changer.
If you think GW2 is anywhere more balanced than BfN, I don't know what you drinked, but Im fine with only water or orange juice, just saying.

@GutmanSca I think these two have some pretty valid complaints here. Remember to keep in mind how time can be subjective to a person. Playing a significant amount every day just isn't plausible for a lot of players, maybe to some this grind really isn't easy as you would think. Personally, its very off putting. I've played daily now with 50 bulbs stocked prior to this month's prizemap and I'm still really not close at all to getting the wizard. I haven't done any exploits, but its starting to feel like I would be better off boring myself to death grinding ai or whatever. I mean, even Overwatch releases their new characters free to everyone. People who may have returned to try out the brand new character might just be scared off again because they have to trudge through the prizemap.
And rainbow stars are still given out... very sparingly. I haven't done the math, but I can't imagine its all that possible to get a legendary skin in a plausible amount of time. Every single new skin has been sent to Rux instead of the reward-o-tron. Which.... uses the game's main currency and reward, so I'd argue.... these things actually do affect gameplay. I should also add that all of these tactics they are using to monetize the game are very clearly preying on the FOMO. Purchase some bulbs to play wizard right now... or grind for an entire month. Buy rainbow stars for this skin before it switches out of Rux's inventory... or spend like an entire year saving up rainbow stars..
And while GW 2's balance isn't all that great, gameplay wise its a much more smooth and polished shooter. BFN is pretty clunky and uncomfortable. Meaning... BFN's monetization is much more egregious than GW 2's, yet its gameplay is far less polished. Icky stuff. Can't blame these guys for complaining.
