N1ck Comeau REGULATORS OF VALOR Orion Empire 37	Posted - 2013.02.10 14:17:00 - [1] - Quote Ok so heres the thing, i know a lot of people spent money on this game and i will soon as well (Mercenary pack) But i'm just gonna say u dont have too spend ur money. I do just fine without spending money to play this game usually 1st 2nd or 3rd on my team. But i do see an advantage to spending ur money and thats why i'm doing it. I want a skill booster and some Aurum to enhance my playing of this game. Its not pay to win thats for sure but it is pay for a slight advantage which is fine. So basically to sum it up u dont need to buy anything with real money to succeed Whats your thoughts on the matter? -N1ck
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders Red Rock Consortium 296	Posted - 2013.02.10 14:35:00 - [2] - Quote I use Aurum to buy BPOs. Having the Sever Logistics Type-I as my 'cheap' suit is a nice thing. My primary suit is an A-Series paid for 100% with ISK. For messing around in ambushes or if the fight turns to crap I switch back to BPO suits. Other than paying for boosters my Aurum goes into buying weapons for my secondary roles, which I haven't spent much SP on yet. For example, I use an Aurum swarm launcher since I've only gotten around to training level 1 in that skill.
Marston VC SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 92	Posted - 2013.02.10 14:41:00 - [3] - Quote someone made a thread before saying this game was indeed not pay to win, but instead he thought it was "play to be competitive" and to some extent it is. I mean im pretty sure that people who have played every day with full boosters should almost be a million sp ahead of those who haven't had any boosters. Not to mention the advantages isk wise AUR can give you. i have a raven assault type I, and on it i have so many BPO's, that the suit only costs 5k isk and has 450 HP exactly. The only thing that costs any money is my av nades, and basic armor plate. This gives me a sever isk and hp advantage over most newer players. Granted they can use the free suits but those are more or less terrible.
R F Gyro ZionTCD Legacy Rising 315	Posted - 2013.02.10 14:51:00 - [4] - Quote Dust is "pay to avoid the grind". You have two options... a) grind matches, giving you for SP for better skills and ISK b) buy Aurum, allowing you to buy items that require less skills Both will get you to the same place. Paying real money to avoid that grind is a perfectly reasonable thing to do; this is supposed to be entertainment after all. However, it is fantastic that the game gives us the option to play completely free, if we are willing to do the grind.

I still have corp chat or at least yesterday i did was there a change today? Corp TEXT chat is free. You have to use a UVT for Corp voice. When people first started complaining about this, there was a large outcry about how "every other game" has this feature for free. I pretty solidly shot that part of the argument down, but there's a totally separate - and actually legitimate - argument that expecting every individual within a corp to pay for their own UVTs is pretty silly. They really need to implement changes to the UVT system, or introduce the player marketplace (or at least an ability to trade items between Corp members) sooner rather than later. It probably would have been better to have some of these functions in place before they fixed the "problem" of Corp voice being available for free when that hadn't been intended.

Granted they can use the free suits but those are more or less terrible. i pretty much did the same thing. i hardly ever use my more expensive fittings because if i die more than 7 times in a match wearing them, i'm basically losing isk. plus i have more isk to play around with vehicle fitting.

Falwell Grubherder Immobile Infantry 3	Posted - 2013.02.11 10:30:00 - [20] - Quote The double dipping on boosters is a bit tasteless, but outside of that I'm pretty OK with the payment model. Dropping guys that are using space-gold guns just makes it that much more satisfying.

Kaeralli Sturmovos KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 121	Posted - 2013.02.11 12:43:00 - [21] - Quote i spend my money because i believe in this idea that ccp is creating for dust and want it to succeed, especially if it will push other devs to try new things with their games. thats my reason.

Crash Monster Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 86	Posted - 2013.04.29 20:22:00 - [23] - Quote I spend on boosters and I've bought some cheap BPOs so I can bring down my (standard) suit costs. Other than that I'm so willing to grind that I'll hammer away at 1K games to see if I can't upgrade one more skill before the weekly CAP reset.
Surt gods end Demon Ronin 17	Posted - 2013.04.29 20:29:00 - [24] - Quote Boosters = ADVANTAGE. ADVANTAGE= slightly higher chance of winning. Winning = more SP More SP = Advantage I get boosters for the advantage. and to stay up in a fight. Like Now. Not in 6 months when I "even" out with every one.

Suits you can buy are Raven Assault suit Valor scout suit Sever Logi suit these are around 19K AUR. (a lot of closed "Vets" got them "free" with a Merc pack last summer) there are weapons like the Exile which were given out as a reward for doing something i can't remember are now in the market as well. (not sure the Aur amount tho) point is anything in the market that has a blue hue to it is a BPO and always cost AUR but are worth it in the long run if you can pick them up.
CHICAGOCUBS4EVER TeamPlayers EoN. 183	Posted - 2013.04.30 19:09:00 - [27] - Quote what he means is these BPOs are infinite... they never get consumed. most are militia gear so might be why u cant find em. check under the militia tab
Kwik Draw Traitors Function 6	Posted - 2013.04.30 20:41:00 - [28] - Quote i thought militia gear was the cheapest kind of gear to get? hmmm... wtheck? so if i purchase a blueprint i never needt o restock it again right?
