It only gives you a leg up. It doesn’t play the game for you. Stop being silly, and resentful.
I don't understand why paying for a leg up is acceptable in gaming. Everywhere else it's called bribing or cheating but in games it's called microtransations and most people don't mind. That's silly if you ask me.
Can you make a list of sports where people are not throwing money at the team/organization to get an advantage.
Look at other collecting games, basically any card based game, people buy packs to have a chance to get a thing. The more packs you buy the better chance you have to get something better than others.
It's not cheating or bribery, not by any means. Many games operate this way, and it's all a balance. No one has to like it, but let's not put the blinders on to the fact that money has influence everywhere. At least in this game, it's not P2W, you can commit your time "for free" and be competitive, that is less true in other games.
I'm not sure what you mean by people throwing money at the team/organization. Are you comparing swgoh players to sports teams/organizations and their rosters to players/athletes? If that's the case then I don't think it's a fair comparison because real people are unique while our rosters are not.
In sports you can't pay to get another attempt at your opponent. Guilds aren't buying better players (afaik) like sports teams. Sports players can't really pay to be better. They can't buy something to improve their physique faster.
I guess you could say that with money you have access to better equipment/food/trainers etc. but those aren't really direct and instant results like they are in games so it's a bit of a strech.
Like I said in my other comment: I know this game isn't some sort of novel concept and that there are much worse offenders. I just don't understand why it's so widely acceptable to spend on ingame advantages in the first place.
Also some people act like I should be thankful for playing this game for free and they are completely missing the point. I have no problem with spending money on games. I have a problem with buying advantages. If you had to purchase this game I would buy it as long as you couldn't spend on advantages (I didn't buy Battlefront 2 back when it was released but I have it now).
