Most games do it. An most ftp will pay the lowest amount if it gets them VIP. Actually encourages purchases.
An if you completely ftp stop being so tight fisted.

Maybe some people's situations don't allow them to spend frivolously. Maybe people have to account for every penny between paychecks while they're in school or waiting for disability to come through. Have you ever thought about that?
Because i sure would love to able to buy a vault every now and then to help progress but with a toddler, a 2nd baby on the way and these overpriced packs, I have much better stuff to spend money on then some lines of code which hold no real value whatsoever.

I dont agree at all. For example it doesnt matter how skint you are you have to buy call of duty to play it. If you want to eat you have to pay for it.

You say the game has no value, yet you play it.
This game would not exist if there were not whales paying for it.
Why should everyone get a free ride.

He said "some lines of code that hold no real value". Which they don't. The game has entertainment value, that's it.

I've spent what I would on a new Xbox game in the last two years, and that's all. I think VIP is a terrible idea, and locking characters behind a paywall like a VIP system would alienate and be unfair to large proportion of the player base. It's a decent enough system they have in place, F2P friendly, with the option to get stuff a bit quicker (as that's all it effectively does) for those that want to spend money.

Those that do spend money already have the advantage of being more prepared for new characters and events when they come round.
