A lot of people want to compare this game to COD and call it bad. He exaggerated a little with the pay-to-win angle.1. this game isn't pay to win. He said that you would have to play 100 games to make the same amount of Sp as someone who has Aurum. That's not true. Aurum just gives you the ability to buy boosters and blueprint items and some aurum only items*. Also, i don't know if any of you noticed but the Aurum dropsuits are the same dropsuits you can buy with isk, just with a different name (along with other items. The only advantage that Aurum gives is that you can buy boosters, and blueprint items so you can use your isk somewhere else. But the game is NOT pay to win.
* A lot of aurum only items have the same type item sold for isk.
P.S: If you don't like this game, please just stop playing and don't try to convince other people to leave. The people who like this game want a big community, not a one that doesn't like the game. We aren't gonna be crying if you leave. Nobody cares if you like this game or not, just don't try to tell people that the game sucks because you got spawn killed.
There are certain things that are P2W, without a doubt. The complex damage mods with lower requirements being the biggest one. Then there are things like pay to get ahead, and even those come in different quantities. However we are reaching a point where those that have used boosters now have a massive SP lead on non-boosters, and an order of magnitude more SP than noobs. This is fine, but don't pretend that it isn't a tiered subscription model.
So then it becomes pay to catch up, or pay to not get stomped. Neither of which are effective business models. Especially in the FPS genre.
Your post script is insulting though. I don't know how you came to be here, but I paid to get into the closed beta. I'm here because I want to be here, and I want the game to be good. I really support CCP in their vision, and I hope they can reach the lofty goals they have set for themselves. So yes, CCP should care if I like the game or not, because I am the exact type of customer they are looking for, someone who wants to be involved with Dust for years, and is eager to see it live up to its potential.
Why is it that if you are critical of something people assume you dislike it? If I don't think the EU fishing policy accurately represents the best interests of Scottish fisheries that does not mean I think the EU sucks.
