The game is literally Pay To Win anyway

Personally that's fine, welcome to real life where people with money have more than people that do not have money. No, my idea is stop beating around the bush.


  • We already know it costs about US$300 for a character, at release, so just sell the character at 7* already. All of them except for the Raid characters. Literally have a button in the character screen (before it's even activated) where you just tap, pay, and voila 7* character.

  • The same goes for gear, as it costs about US$175 to get a character to G12, and about about another US$100 for G12+. Quit pussyfooting around and just put buttons on the character for G12 / G12+.

  • Skills can be added for another US$100 or so. Admittedly I didn't do the math on this one.

  • Toss mods in there as well, granted you'll only make about US$75 per character.

  • Ships, except capital, same as the character: US$300. Capital ships are about US$250 for 7*.

  • Ship abilities would be the same as character skill costs, except Capital ships which would be about double.


This would allow people to rapidly shift strategy and honestly would just raise the bottom line profit. You can still put characters on the nodes and whatnot, so that people who don't want to pay can still get the characters over time.

    So are you looking for an easier way to buy stuff ingame, or are you trying to make a point that if they are gonna make a p2w game they might aswell just make an "I win" button? I honestly can't figure out which one it is..
    If it's the former i'm totally cool with that, if it's the latter i'd argue that no amount of spending is going to lead to automatic and guaranteed succes in this game.


    Yep. Someone will always spend a little more...


    That, + the fact that there are no teams out there that aren't beatable by completely f2p players, atleast not in squad arena. Maybe in fleet, i wouldn't know but i doubt it.


    maybe there is NO team YOU or another F2P player can't beat in YOUR shard or THEIR shard. (congrats on that btw) but that's not the reality for everyone and should not be made as a static statement...

    now in correlation with the statement that no amount of spending guarantees success and if that's strictly what your statement was 100% referring to with lots of room for exceptions then I would probably 100% agree with you



    Obviously he isn't saying every single person can beat every single team. What he is saying is that there does not exist a team that cannot be beaten by a ftp squad. Now YOU may not have THAT squad, but plenty of ftp ppl do.

  • Of course it’s p2w lmao. Don’t u love this gear 8 revan beating gear 12’s? Lolololol. I mean obvious slap in the face to whales like these but, whatever
  • OP you're spot on. The fact that 7* characters are not for sale proves they find that too 'cheap' an option even if expensive for the consumer. With random drops, minimal 99% of the time, they guarantee far more cash than the true value of a digital, meaningless character we do not own.
