Welcome to 2013, welcome to micro transaction payed games.
People this game is called for free.
- What does it mean, 4 free?
Actually it means everyone can play this game without payment at all.
- How is the game then developed when no one pays?
The game is most likely payed by ingame micro transactions and of course by EVE players subscriptions
- Does ingame micro transactions lead me to items i cannot earn without payment?
No. Everything can be archived without pay real money
- If everything can be archived without pay for it, what is my advantage then beside i pay the developers?
You have early access to items that are normaly first archived later. For instance weapons that are 1-2 level above your current level, which makes it interesting for gamers that arent playing that often, can grind up levels that frequent but still want to enjoy the game competitive.
- Isnt it unfair then when rich kids puts in thousands of dollars and spent all hours of a day anyway to grind?
Yes and No. Of course you will proceed the game better if you run around with items that are levels ahead your own, but you are not lightyears ahead of others. For isntance, a protogeared soldier can still be shot by militia suits and weapons.
This is well more depending on how you and your team is playing the game and how lucky you are during matchmaking.
My personal meaning:
Im almost 30, i have a wife, dogs, my own house and im an engineer. I cannot play 24/7, even if im addicted to dust after only one month of playtime. Im happy with that transaction model CCP has build up. I mean the core game is still for free. You will be able to download and install all major updates (weapons, maps, vehicles etc etc) for free.
Ive seen other games with worse ideas of micro transactions, for instance Black Ops 2 where you pay 2Gé¼ for a bacon cammo. Or planetside 2 where you can archive weapons that are not archivable for years during hardcore grinding.
At the very end, the developers should be payed. Its hard work, even if you guys are whining and unhappy about this and that. Try become a game developer before whining. The budget CCP has is not compareable with AAA devolpers and publishers.
Would you rather pay subscriptions like in eve? |

Actually yes, i will. By my calculations i will spend alot less money, and get alot more. With a subscription CCP won't have the excuse that is F2P game, and they will have to deliver alot more, alot faster.
Well i would pay for a subscription as well, but still i would like to stick to level up. Maybe without weekly caps.
But that would lead back to unemployed or rich kids could level 24/7 while others would almost not had a chance again.
Except of good teamplay and luck.
But youre wrong with that subscriptions = faster development.
WoW? Are these guys fast?

Lately, I haven't seen many people use these in a while. So it's not a big problem for me until everybody starts running around throwing grenades at my feet.
But the game isn't pay to win
Well i speak freely, i still play with fused grenades but also with flux.
Im a logi and i need to defend myself as good as i can so i can safe others life and secure drop up links etc.
As soon as i have surplus in SP i will spend some fore permanent ISK access to fused grenades. |
