Pay to win is coming, kids.
""" It’s been two months since we launched Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare, and we are really pleased to see how many people have bought the game. Your money has made us realize how much we real...

Well there's a big difference between the option of paying for cosmetics (that can also be earned through play), and the option of being able to buy sticker packs that not only unlock new characters, but also give you skip challenges to raise your rank. To be honest I even despise the route of paying for cosmetics, especially that can't be earned through play, however when you start getting things like skip challenges to raise your rank what's the point of having a rank showing in the first place? Exactly.
And RaineyKins, this isn't about maturity level. If I want to play in the welcome mat I could do so and do even better than I already do in GaG mode. This doesn't affect player skill I'm aware of that. I am good enough already to be competitive in the game. What bothers me is that it allows you to skip your way through the ranks, completely undermining the ranking system.
It's lame but idc, because no matter how much $ some noob spends on coins i'm still going to stomp him into the ground. As long as they don't start lowering the coin payouts to try and force us to buy into the sticker packs or raise future sticker pack prices... i could care less really. The zomboss down pack concerned me from the moment i seen it. It told me they plan to add new content and the only way to unlock it is to buy THAT specific pack... what if the next relevant pack is 50k coins or more? Because i'm pretty sure they WILL do this and the packs WILL get more expensive. Oh sure, the starter content they first launched is cheap enough... heck even the the new DLC pack isn't too shabby. But just wait dude, the next one will be expensive i would bet anything on it. THAT is when i'm going to get mad. If it makes me mad enough I WILL VOTE WITH MY WALLET, mark my words!

So NOW your arguement is that "Winning" is dictated by a ranking system that has absolutely no bearing on whether you win matches or not?
Skip Challenge stickers already existed. Rank is no more accurately measured in your head now than it will be later, because people are using skip stickers right now anyways, and I will reiterate, High Rank /= "Winning"
And lastly, in a game like this, what does Rank even matter? If your "Naturally aquired rank" so important to you that you'd demonify the ability for others to get to the same point easier?- Approved
No that's not my argument. Winning is dedicated by skill and if you read my post you'd see I mentioned that being able to buy packs won't affect skill. The ranking system is now just pointless because you could easily have just outright bought it. And yes, rank does matter. Maybe not to you, but to lots of people it does.
- I can't wait I'm going to buy $30 worth Of coins and enjoy the boost . I only have time to play maybe 2hrs a day
