Ew.
Just... ew. No.
Even without the atrocious spelling, this would have been painful to read. I HOPE this was a joke, but even then, it's in bad taste. |

Sorry... I should have said "spelling AND grammar" not just spelling.
But that wasn't the point. The point is that the idea itself is pay-to-win, and totally against the concept of a PROPER free-to-play game. And the fact that it violates the modular nature of everything that's previously been done in New Eden, and that's being carried over from EVE into DUST.
Your abuse of language isn't the reason the idea was terrible, and I'm surprised that you actually think it's a good thing. So, as I already said... Ew, NO.
Also, you missed "assault" with your spellcheck. |

1) Altho its a Free to Play game, CCP Has to make money somehow or else there would be no dust; Complaints against any sort of advantage for the people who CONTRIBUTED MONEY TO THE GAME (and therefor its success) are unreasonable if you ask me. At the very least they are being ungratefull. You Didnt Even Pay for the freaking game, WHY are you complaining? (not you in particular; hopefuly you get my meaning)
2) They could still set it up the way they have it now - You can earn anything you want in-game but if you wanna CONTRIBUTE to the people who gave you this awsome free free free free free FREE to play game you can spend pennies on the dollar for access to those items a little bit sooner
Pay to Win is gross
Freeloading is grosser
oh and words/grammar are just that; ill flop flip any word or saying i wanna on the interwebs so get over it
As someone who already bought the Merc Pack, I've gone on record saying that most of the Aurum gear is fine, because it isn't objectively or insurmountably better than what you can buy with ISK. MOST of it is purely "early access" so it's basically a way to shortcut the grind, there are only a few items that circumvent that.
Also, the devs have openly stated they DON'T want the game to be pay-to-win.
I have supported them, and in time I'll probably continue to do so, but I WON'T keep supporting them if there are real advantages to be bought which can't be picked up using ISK. That's not what was promised, that's not what I'm after.
Freeloading is gross.
Pay to win is grosser.
You're wrong.
I'm hoping they include a decent stack of AUR gear that's PURELY cosmetic - as in does NOTHING but make you look different and awesome.
And the spelling/grammar thing wasn't to be taken seriously, but thanks for making me laugh about it some more by bringing it up again.  |
