So I read the first one and stopped. This isn't pay to win noob. Risk is what makes this game unique compare to other shooters. Risk makes this game more of a challenge. You think just because you can pay for stuff with real money you should get an advantage? Seriously man. You don't like it GTFO Dust doesn't need people like you. You're going to complain about risk you'll never survive in New Eden. If everyone had BPO for higher stuff then what would be the point in using ISK items? it's a free game too, and by free it's actually free. Don't expect to win just because you pay with real money. That's not how this game is going to be, and it shouldn't be that way either. |

Who are you to tell me to get out what Dust needs or doesn't? Again, people like me pay for this game so people like you can play it.
To clarify, I'm not a noob, I played this since the Beta launched, and used the ISK items, so I clearly understand both sides of the argument. I just think there should be better BPO gear, and more of it.
I understand buying stuff with money helps the game, I even do it for the boosters. BUT don't ask for more BPO, they sure as hell don't need to be stronger. If you've played the game since beta, then you understand this game needs risk because that's what gives it it's uniqueness and make it a bigger challenge.

While EVE does have a lot of BPO it requires more than just owning the BPO to use it like in Dust. In EVE you have to have different minerals and a set of skills to create what the BPO is, in Dust all you have to do is own the BPO. |

Quote: And I'm willing to bet that as this game goes on, if the Elite bundle is any inclination, it will go that way when CCP realizes how much money it can generate off them. I think most of the other users do, and that's why they are so against BPO's in general.
One reason EVE is one of the most successful MMOs ever is because it isn't pay to win. You could play most MMO's and more than likely it's going to be a pay to win game. It's the same with Dust. If Dust ever came to be that way NO ONE would play it anymore. Even if it's a free game. Why do we have to pay to win in a video game? They have already lost some people because of the fused grenade (before the nerf) was a pay to win item.
Dust and EVE are both unique because of the risk. They give these packs so then they have a way to finance the game. The packs might come with permanent weapons but you don't get a too unfair advantage, not even with the Elite pack.
Who wants to play a game when only the people who have money can win? There are some people who don't have a lot of money, but the parents will buy their kids stuff like a PS3 so they can have fun. And I will say, Dust is probably the best option for video games right now I'm being straight up. You can pay for these packs or Aurum but you don't have to. These updates might screw up the games sometimes, but you don't have to worry about paying for DLC's. You get all this new content for free. That's freaking cool of CCP to do that.
You want to talk about fair? Why should someone with money get special treatment? They might have jobs, and can't keep up with people but it's a game. It's not their life. There are people in my corp who have jobs and can't play a whole lot. But you know what? They sure kick ass when they are on. And they use ISK gear.
This game will get better and more balanced and fixed. And people will look at this game and see it's free AND not pay to win. If Dust ever does become pay to win, myself, and almost ALL Dust players will move on. Because we don't want that. Dust will die if they turn into that. Just as EVE would if it were to become pay to win.
