Free too Play In The USA

healboothealboot Member UncommonPosts: 103
I don't know about you but if something says it's cost is free I will go out of my way too prove them right. I being a citizen of the USA am used to spending money on fluff and stuff I don't need. But I will fight you tooth and nail for your promise of free. I look around and see stuff I need at prices that are unreal but true. Reason being you guessed it and if you don't get it this country is beter off without you. Free too play will never work in this country. It was developed in a poor country and taken advantage of a by a few wealthy folks. That is all fine and dandy until you factor in this is not a poor country...but hey it worked in asia?

    The metrics for F2P say you are wrong.

    The so called whales are even bigger in the U.S. I'd imagine.

    "Asia" is its own country too in that...really is it anything but a bizarre rant?
  • healboothealboot Member UncommonPosts: 103
    sorry I said asia :(

    America is also built on words and half truths these days. It is all about what you say and how you say it. When they say "free to play" and they don't gate the ability to log in and play with money, then they are indeed fulfilling their promise. They aren't promising the ability to play effectively, efficiently, all the content or at the same level as the people who necessarily. What they are saying is it is free to play, and on that they do deliver.

    Multiple personalities, or have you recently been designated spokesperson for the whole country?

    Shhhh. We are watching the Alabama native in its natural state. Do not disturb this wonderful opportunity.

    I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.

    To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

    What do I look like? Google?

    Search for it yourself. Its all out there. F2P is doing better than P2P by a long margin.

    Typical lazy American.

    I wish people would learn what free to play means before they start threads like this.

    Do you have to buy anything to DL and play the game ?

    Do you have to buy anything to keep playing it every month ?

    Do you buy things that help make the game easier/faster or just because you want to  ?

    It's not that hard to understand ffs....

     but you don't NEED the Fluff to play. I play a few F2P games and don't spend a dime of real money. if you choose to spend your cash on fluff and then blame the game? That's on you.

    Op talked about maybe weeding folk's out,look's like he fell victim to himself.

    The use of our and we is what really did him in I think.

    Either this guy is a really bad troll or he has a very skewed idea of what Free to Play is.  I also think they need to take some more English classes.  Maybe learn the difference between to and too...
