Its not about being f2p or p2p, it's about for 60 bucks you get pc game and you don't need spend more but here what you get for 60 bucks? One bundle? Where this bundle take you in game? ( not far right). You can say its mobile game or you can play for free but I see really rich game which not giving much back to customers.
Devs prefer to reply to useless **** rather than real problems.
They make lot of money so I'm dissapoitted that game isn't in higher quality.
But I still enjoy game
About the money thing: this is why I'm F2P. This game doesn't deal in microtransactions, which is what IAPs were originally intended for, and what any rational person would limit themselves to. $5 doesn't buy you **** in this game. They pushed the limits a while back with the citadel packs and had to swing back a bit, but they must have hit the sweet spot with the 1299 crystal packs.
I guess since enough people are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money for a slight competitive edge (or whatever their reasons are) it makes it worth all the purchases you lose from people not willing to spend as much. I don't think anyone would have predicted this in, say, 2007 when I was buying complete PC games for $50 and complete cell phone games for $5. I'm glad I can still buy those games, but the effect the freemium model has had can't be ignored. Look at the trend of releasing 80% complete games then later charging $20 for DLC that rounds it out. It's a shame, really. But I don't blame the devs... Just like casinos, if people are willing to part with their hard earned cash who am I to stop them.
