The whole pay-to-win argument is very finely balanced, until you consider the reduced CPU AUR options.

AUR complex Heavy damage mods with vastly reduced CPU to facilitate stacking - what's the non-AUR option there?

There won't be a market as people seem more than happy to P2W.

I have called it 5 14 from the time they announced its inception. Why is it even a big deal?

tbh, this game (like eve) isn't intended for nublets without the will to learn. as CCP said in their interviews, this is to get people clued up into getting into EVE - A much more complex arena. The attitude stays the say, you either learn it, or you don't. COD caters for the far end of the scale "plug 'n play" gamer, which is about as deep on game play as cup of ****.

To the bolded:

You do realize this is a game right? A free download that doesn't come with a warning that you have to be prepared to invest time and much mental faculties into it?

Does the description in the PS store tell people that before they download they should HTFU?

Saying that as a prerequisite for someone daring to try the game that they should be prepared for a serious investment of time to not suck is one hell of a hurdle to ask people to cross, for a game

Right now, the game that is asking people to jump that hurdle is a mess. No content, bad matchmaking, incomplete documentation, and more, and you want people to saddle up, book off a weekend and get down to it? For what? To get ready for some potential space war that might start at the end of the year? Or to not be behind the guys out front if this game ever gets it act together?

I've stopped telling my friends to play this game bc I'm too tired defending it bc deep down I know it's not worth defending at this point . Maybe one day it will be good but I won't stop criticizing this game bc some arrogant fanboy things htfu is the solution to all the games problems. The truth is this game is not complicated either, it just had a terrible user interface. The delay in the menus of the neocom is enough to make anyone quit. The terrible delay and clunkinness in every menu is damning upon itself. Why is it when I access the market the first thing I have to do is press left on the d pad so I can actually scroll through the list? Every damn time you have to do that, I don't think I've ever clicked a damn thing in the store front

The game is t complicated, it's the user interface and horrible delay in virtually everything you do (including reloading) that makes this game such a chore!

What? You mean less skill to use? That's how all the AUR items are.
