I don't have a problem with it. Yes I have AUR but I don't buy any guns or anything with it lol.
I ONLY got it to support the development of the game and show them some love lol.
The specs aren't that great for the cost on weapons or anything. They are not worth it to continually buy the same rifle over and over. Think about it this way.
Cheapest AUR pack is 1.99 for 400 AUR
Cheapest gun in Dust that takes AUR is 7 AUR I think.
So if you buy 100 of those rifles your looking at 700 AUR. That is around 4 bucks. Personally I played about 5 hours a day when the servers were up and sometimes not even that and I had about 400 deaths in one month so I would have spent about 2800 in AUR for the month in just guns alone that is $13.93 a month and that is the lowest level gun. If someone were to buy a complete fitting that is armor rep, nanohive, dropsuit, gun, grenades, shield extenders, shield re-chargers, side arm, and whatever else you can cram in there your looking at a pretty nice chunk of money a month that in my opinion is not sustainable for even the lowest AUR bought fit.
$125 a month give or take for one dropsuit that is completely loaded down with the cheapest AUR bought gear. That is assuming a lot such as 400 deaths in that month. I was wearing nothing over advanced items bought with ISK to achieve my .96 K/D ratio and that was better than the cheap AUR bought stuff.
So pay to win? I think not. Man up and get the skills you need to fit your guy better.
The AUR stuff isn't so great that people will spend that kinda money to keep that little bit of an advantage.
Pay to win is hey man buy this 50 dollar outfit with an assault rifle amazing heavy armor and grenades. While everyone else uses this dinky little pistol. (that is not a fake analogy btw)
I'll go toe to toe with anyone who has AUR bought items and know I can win.
P.S. My math may be a little off feel free to correct me if you find a mistake and good luck with that because i didn't post my formulas lol. I will however look at some of the guns and post some stats but not on everything that would take forever and I don't have that kinda time. I was gonna make this post short so much for that lol. |
