Just curious.
I for one have taken the "Free-to-Play" concept literally. There is a lot I've complained about, but in the end I cannot deny that I have gotten something for nothing. And will continue to do so. Thanks CCP! |

The only people who paid to play were those who bought the merc pack to get into the closed beta.
However, I'm sure you didn't mean it that way.
So in that sense, unless you're broke, or unable to pay, I'd suggest at least getting a $20 merc pack. You probably won't regret it, unless you absolutely dislike this game.
If nothing else, you can think of it as paying $20 towards a game you enjoy, to support it, and the company behind it.
I've personally spent $35.00 so far, and will probably get another merc pack here when they release the new ones. Toxin AR plox. :P edit: and I'm about as broke as they come :) |

I was about to buy some Aurum but when I realised the price down here is something like 150% higher than anywhere else, I facepalmed. Now I shall wait for the improved loot system to loot Aurum stuff from other peeps. :D |

spent -ú10 recently and ive been here since about half way through closed beta.
I bought a few tanks to try out before the respec and lost them all in glorious balls of fire.
It gives me so much joy to kill mercs with AUR stuff.
I still respect them for supporting the game even though its most likely just to keep on top of the imaginary SP gap.
and i have an eve sub so don't feel so bad |

Well i did spend money on this back in beta, i bought the 200k aur pack, 9 merc packs and a starter pack.
I did not spend any money on this game after May 6. There are simply to many mistakes, bugs and things that just sux right now so i dont want to spend any money on it atm.
But i know for sure CCP. will fix ALL the bad stuff and make the best game ever along with Eve, it just takes time to do it so i just have to be patient.
So i prob will again in the future.

This thread is funny... I like free speech. This is a thread that annoys CCP because they work hard and want to make $$ so they can feed themselves and have time and $ to do what they want and yet you broadcast openly how you aren't going to give them a dime and this thread goes on. As is your right to both have it free and celebrate it.
I've dropped about $30.00, I haven't really seen much on the AUR store I was interested in other then the Merc pack. I'm hoping CCP gets a little better with their marketing tactics, though they have a professional market analyst so I'm sure he will help them figure it out. I'd like to pick up the Elite Pack, but $100.00 in one lump sum is hard for me to justify for myself when I could just flop that down on a new midrange graphics card for my PC or buy 2 brand new games. |

I didn't pay anything yet because i'm still trying to decide if i like the game or not.
Besides, given that i'm still somewhat confused on what the gameplay mechanics are, i would end up wasting money in some weapon or skill i don't like 
In the long run how much i throw into the game will be ultimately decided on how it manages to stay balanced. Will i be able to make some meaningfull impact on the battlefield with zero or moderate money commitment? Or will i be hopelesly swarmed by an army of tanks summoned at will by a deep pocket merc?

Havent paid a dime for this game and wont till very basic things for an FPS are fixed such as server side latency which causes hit detection issues and the biggest problem the game currently has - sensitivity -. As it currently is using either the DS3 or my custom controller or even my mouse its painfully slow. I come from playing FPS games like Quake and Gore:US where I can have my sensitivity maxed out that would make lesser men sick to their stomachs, where games like CoD and Halo's max sensitivity are too slow.
Untill these core gameplay issues are fixed I wont feel bad about not spending money.
Its not my first free to play with in game stores either, the first (and only other) game like this I ended up dumbing $800+ into once they fixed a core mechanic I couldnt stand. I could see myself doing the same if these issues are ever fixed. |

Well, it is a Free to Play game after all... But yes i have spend some cash in AUR, not because i find most things in the store interesting... More to do with Paying for a game, that i am enjoying playing ... and i will continue to do so in the future, hopefully CCP will add more interesting things to the store, so i have a better excuse to buy AUR.  |

Paid 1.59 to get UVTs. Waste of money it seems. I can't see a reason to spend $$$ on this game. It's substandard, and yet people throw money at it. Ridiculous idiots who a.) CCP fanboys b.) have never played another FPS. |

Both of the new special merc packs, including a few normal merc packs across two accounts.
And that's purely for implants and BPOs. |

I thought you deleted this game off of your PS3? Nothing better to do than sling insults at gamers who play a game you no longer do, I suppose. |

I bought the Merc Pack and shelled out another $15 US or so thinking BPOs were actually something good. I'm not slipping another dime into this game. |

Over multiple accounts, I have spent about $200, all on Merc packs, with the exception of once, I accidently bought the 40K Aurum pack instead of the Merc pack

Bought a merc pack at full price and 2 for half price. I've had boosters since the final reset and can safely say there won't be a single day I'm without active and passive boosters. :D |

Technically no one has payed to play this game.
They have paid for buffs and crap...but that is not paying to play....as they could have played without paying one red cent.
I think of the $20 i spent as a donation. |

No, I meant what I asked: Who has paid anything to play this game? I never bought the Merc pack, I received a Beta Key for free on another forum. And I've never bought any Aurum for gear or SP boosters either. 
Free stuffs is good! |

You need to look up the definition of "FREE TO PLAY GAME"
And no, as I stated in the first post, I was simply curious. Truth be told if this were a $15 to $20 downloadable game - or perhaps even more - I WOULD have spent that money to purchase the game. I do though think people who pay for the micro-transactions for this or any such game are foolish. |
