Panther Alpha Commando Perkone Caldari State 372	Posted - 2013.06.03 12:28:00 - [1] - Quote No. Is a different way to make money from a game. Nothing is "free" in life. Why i just make a thread about this, you may ask. Because I getting kitten sick of hearing people saying, that We have not rights, because is a F2P game. CCP is making money from Dust 514 with AUR... EvE is not paying for Dust 514, CCP is paying for Dust 514.

Let me ask you a question... : If Dust 514 is truly "Free", why the game have a cash currency ( AUR ). ?

EvE is not paying for Dust 514, CCP is paying for Dust 514. Is your name signed on the bottom of CCP employees pay checks? Didn't think so. Wait wait wait there is still one way that you could have right's to dust um no never mind that won't work. Guess you have no right's.

More HP, higher damage, faster movement. The boosters create a gap between players that cannot be closed with the cap also increasing ... And SP is the name of the game in Dust 514

HK Rage Science For Death The Shadow Eclipse 14	Posted - 2013.06.03 12:43:00 - [11] - Quote Honestly this game isn't even close to pay to win, you can pretty much get everything brought with Aurum, even better items than Aurum versions. I see this game more as Pay to Advance or P2A because of the boasters but honestly its not that big of a deal. The main bottom line is that they have to make money some way or another, they are a company and a company making no money is a bad company.
S0LlD SNAKE PLAYSTATION4 93	Posted - 2013.06.03 12:44:00 - [12] - Quote nope , MP games branded F2P are not really FREE , i understand devs need to make money but P2W is not the way

Let me ask you a question... : If Dust 514 is truly "Free", why the game have a cash currency ( AUR ). ? For exactly what it says the money is for. To let you do more, faster. You get to do things a character of your SP can't normally manage, using the next tier of equipment above what you've skilled into. You get occasional low-grade Blueprint items, allowing you to save ISK for the more expensive high-grade gear once you're skilled into it. There have been times where CCP have made mistakes, and there have been items that were released in a state that makes them objectively better in some way than the closest ISK equivalent. These are considered mistakes by CCP, and when called on them, they've mostly been good about fixing the problems.

The "get one, get one free" logic. You don't really getting a "Free" thing, because you paying double in the 1st place. Oldest trick in the book.
Lilah Silverstone The Arrow Project 53	Posted - 2013.06.03 12:54:00 - [16] - Quote Technically it is not free because you have to invest time (opportunity costs and all that jazz) but it can be financially free if you believe that you do not require to purchase ingame items with your money. F2P is really based on one's individual choices.

I can say 2 BIG ones. - BPO's that allow you to make ISK faster. ( Access to Proto gear in regular basics ) - Passive SP boosters that give you a HUGE skills advantage.

WhiteMage7322 Ikomari-Onu Enforcement Caldari State 25	Posted - 2013.06.03 13:39:00 - [20] - Quote For me, "Free" is when I don't need to use a single dime and with Dust I haven't used a cent. I even got some AUR from the starter pack when it was free on PSN. for PS+. Sure, you can say time is being used on Dust but then again time is free after all. XD

Those items give you no advantage over other players at all. You get you ISK and SP faster then I can. Ok, so what if I get my new toy a week after you get it? I still get all the same items you get. You have no advantage. We really need a dislike button that we can hit on guys like you.

Fact 2 : BPO's don't cost ISK to run, and they are as effective as the ISK equivalents. You can get Proto gear 3 times faster using BPO's. That is Pay To Win.... Sorry if you dislike the truth.

Read up the definition of P2W. Hint: You're wrong.
KING SALASI MAJOR DISTRIBUTION 17	Posted - 2013.06.03 14:11:00 - [27] - Quote Who cares if it's pay to win your wrong but who cares it's a company not a charity organization. Listen go start up a company make a free game figure out how you're going to pay your employees. Then come back and tell us the results of said fail experiment. I'm smart enough to know nothing in life is free or fair, if CCP wants to sell AUR items that give a slight advantage MORE POWER TO THEM, guess what I will buy it. Tears I love it

CCP is making money from Dust 514 with AUR... EvE is not paying for Dust 514, CCP is paying for Dust 514. We don't have rights when it comes to this software. Period. We all agreed to their EULA to access this software. And for all intents and purposes this game is Free to Play, even if people can choose to pay money for additional content. I haven't spent anything except for what internet and electricity costs. When the issues in the game get ironed out enough I'll be willing to consider paying money.

Tears I love it That is exactly my point... The game may be F2P... what we still are "Paying" costumers. Some people thinks that F2P means; that CCP is doing all this to keep EvE players happy ...And that is far from the truth.

BPOs that let you earn the normal in-game currency FASTER, but don't give you access to anything that a non-paying player can get? SP Boosters that let you skill up FASTER, but don't give you access to anything that a non-paying player can get? Yep. That's totally pay-to-win.
