Every game has a ptp and ptw element. You think other games just have skins?

They don’t sell unique weapons and equipment? In game currency packs for buying equipment others can’t afford? Faster levelling XP point packs that put you ahead of ftp?

I can’t understand your anger at people who fund a game you are playing for free.

What? Literally no game (serious game, WoW, FFXIV, BDO, etc is PTW. Any game that offers XP boosts such as WoWs catch up mechanics (boost to 58 as level cap is raised to 70 for example) is a catch up mechanic. A proper analogy would be if one of these AAA mmos put a specific class or weapons that outclassed everything else in the game behind a ridiculous pay wall (but your BiS gear on raid release for 999.99 or better yet your BiS Pvp gear at the beginning of an arena season! Lol). That doesn’t exist so please don’t infer as all games do this.

Most people don’t mind. It’s been a part of the online side of gaming since it’s inception. When I started played WoW a very long time ago, I whaled on a bunch of XP packs. I had 4 usable raid characters in the time most would have 1.

Paying to get a leg up is part of MMO! It always has been.

I’ve played WoW from nov 24th 2004 until just recently 9.1 releasing. I also play TBC classic and other than their level boosts there has literally been no “XP” boosts. All of their level boosts came around the MoP/WoD time, are always pre next exp release for new players to catch up to current friends. So yea…

And finally. Last of all, if you invest nothing in this game, do nothing to help it stay alive, why should you be at a level playing field as those who do?

How would you feel if your hard earned went in and someone who didn’t had the exact same stuff? What **** is this?

You realize you are LITERALLY saying your level of wealth makes you better than everyone else. How is that hard “earned” from a gaming standpoint? And this is exactly why real games don’t adopt this.

Your posts are pretty entitled and cringe actually.
