I'd call it 'pay to not care about dying'

but atleast those games have a constants everyone abides by(such as HP) where as in dust there is no such thing to speak of,those games are more balanced than dust will ever be.
A Strange Game.

it is pay to have fun, not pay to win
you can win without paying but its not very much fun

discard what is not,

I think the HMG nerf is going to make this untrue. Veteran users will not have a problem with the heat build up but new users who think it is a spray and pray weapon will be dropping like flies to shotgun scouts.

Izvinite, but what else can I say? You said it best yourself. Why do low quality players have to suffer? Because they are low quality, that is why.
In this dog-eat-dog mercenary world, the lowly and poorer mercenaries will get owned by the best and the brightest. Simple as that. Skill > Tech every and any day.
Wherever the Wind (Aero) might take me, may it ever be True, for the way of the Commando is noble and right.

Pay to win means to get a definitive advantage over non paying players in game, items a non paying player can't get. Every Aurum item just allows you to access better gear sooner but holds no actual advantage in terms of stats. All you need to do is save up your SP a little longer and you have them.
What about those AUR items that accelerate your SP gain? What are those called again...? Oh, that's right! BOOSTERS!!!
Nope, not P2W. Not at all. Because AUR is only used to gain early access to regular items.

Or maybe it's just evidence of your lack of skill? |

Boosters are pay to get something sooner.
The peoples who are fortunate enough to have enough recreational time to grind out the video game items with no RL cash get a benefit.. And the ones having to work 60 hour weeks can invest some of their expendable income to stay on par... While funding the games very existence
No one item you can pay for is better then another. There has been some cases that has happened in DUST's history.. COntact grenades being one of of the biggest. But that issue CCP has been quick to respond to and fix when there has been a mistake or injustice to the general concept of the micro-transaction business model in DUST.
The main assumption you have as a player with 10million skill points.. is that there are just so many things to get for skills it would take you forever.. and really your about 5-6 million to having a specialized role in DUST 514 pretty much fully maxed out.
Meaning if you chose to be a Gallente Proto-Sentinel.. you would have a full proto module and suit loadout in that chosen profession.. Essentially capping you at that specialization from gaining any further advantage from skills or modules..
They call this "End game"
At that point it doesn't matter if you purchased 30 passive omega booster to get there.. or whatever. your maxed out.
Dust 514 is Pay to get there sooner, Pay to not care about losses in game but instead your credit card? But for some reason killing someone with Aurum feels even better then killing someone with Officer.. I Wonder if CCP intended this?   |
