In short: the game has monetization. Pay to skip. Can I upgrade gear for money? yes.But need a lot of money. Can you do the same without money? Yes. But the basis of the game is the player's ability to play and THINK.Game high player skill based And High personal responsibility in group.Cuz if you cant do mech=> you wipe party raid. Money will not help you win in this game, but it will help you get access to more activities faster. PvP 100% normalazed.
Hard Pass
From the moment you can swip your card to actualy upgrade your gear, it's not conveniance, it's P2W, there is no going around it.
You take FF14 as an exemple, SE has NO items in that shop that gives you or power up actual gear to clean content AT ALL, same for WoW, same for GW2.
It's indeed hard, if not impossible to find a MMO nowadays without conveniance and cosmetic services like lvl boosts, but you can find plenty without P2W elements. And that's where most people are worried about Lost Ark.
If real money gives an advantage over players who don't spend, that's where I draw the line. Thanks for the explanation, this game (like others) is a pass for me.
probly gotta play it first then see. it's gonna be free anyway so just try out and if you feel like this is p2w and all that whales beating shiit out of you and you feel frustrated, you can quit. at least, you get a free access to a good length of storyline. so just play it considering as a one of the RPG games, then you can decide later. me personally, waiting for it, but don't know. just gonna give it a shot and see if I would like it. but my February going to be really busy playing POE so, o well.
They have to make some type of money to be able to sustain this game. People are dumb for being butt hurt
From 3 minute to 3:30. F2p also have access to all end games content. And can eventually get there. Bdo too btw. O_o
I bought all the founders pack for lost ark I’m hype n ready to main sorceress
Definitely wrong on XIV point. The boosts are for catch up for those that don't want to do the story and is actively promoted against by the devs.
Paying Not to Grind and upgrading gear is by definition Pay to win. Really weird so many shills for this game…
Yes its Pay to WIN LOL
I realise why do I love Metin 2 "p2w stuff". I mean, everyone here can buy Itemshop stuff even without spending real money. Bcs ppl can buy IS coins with in game yangs. Simple, good.
if you can get in game gold with real money (which you can) it's P2W bottom line
I think a significant difference in your comparisons is your timelines. WOW did not release with a level boost, or a gold token. When the level boost was introduced leveling was no longer a part of the game, it was 10 hours on autopilot, where as when it was released it was more than half the game. When the gold token was released, gold inflation and garrison missions had fucked up any new players chance or casual players chance of catching up. When games RELEASE with these options, they become pay to win. Lets say after 15 hours of gameplay, how big is the gap between someone playing for free, and someone tossing as much cash as is possible into the game? How about after 30 hours? If there is any significant difference in power by then, its pay to win.
No, in short it's fucking pay to win. Takes me two seconds to figure this out when the founders pack has resurection potions. People really need to stop copeing and trying to water down the definitions.
Someone with 2000$ and the same amount of time as you WILL progess faster and be ahead FOREVER. This is not rocket science.
I was excited to play this game until I realized it was pay to win. Now I won't be playing.
I dont understand why people are so negative.
You don't have to pay for all the contents.
There is no problem enjoying it.
Nothing is free in this world. You think they would spend this amount of money paying salary to programmers and artist design just to let you play this for FREE and on top of that having fun while doing so? LMAO you people are so naive
Calling it pay for convenience doesn't mean it isnt pay to win. It is just word play it is pay to win.
why do you have the need to say why lost ark isnt a pay to win, like, who care about people that think that, they are stupid and not curious enough.
Lmao.. In short.. its pay-to-win since everything can be bought on the AH with gold which you can buy for real money. All theese reviewers are being paid to not say this.
