Don't know about you but this looks way worse than offering an exclusive horse with an imperial edition.
Smell like P2W to you?

No, that isn't p2w
This was announced day. ESO has a lot of subs OP. I'm sure they want to keep them as subs.
In all honesty OP Idk if those 10% are enough to keep my sub. The 10% to inspiration maybe, but idk.
Yes but the guys playing for free are going to be at a disadvantage-- they can't earn champion points or gold as fast.
Buried in the FAQ? I knew/hear about it as soon as it was announced. Quit trying to stir up ever more BS about this please.
Has nothing to do with P2W either. Quite a few P2P games that switched over do this same very thing.
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
that's not the point.
The point is that most B2P models are really only supposed to have cosmetic or vanity items for sale to not be considered as offering unfair advantage over others.
Yes, because they are freeloading and should not have all the benefits of people who actually pay the subscription.
if you want it all, pay the sub.
TSW is B2P, has inherit XP boost item and purchasable Boosts, GW2 is B2P, has Purchasable Boosts
Yes it is P2W. It's pretty straightforward you pay money, you have an advantage, which they do.
I don't consider it just convenience.
After the champion system rolls out, experience past level 50 is supposed to mean something. More champion points into your char makes you stronger.
If you have a guy who can do it faster, then yes, I DO see that as a clear advantage. It is not just a "convenience".
thank you! finally somebody who sees the light
Sorry super, not p2w. Sure it can help someone get to 50 faster but besides that does not give them any advantage. So no p2w.
This isn't P2W.
Do yourself a favor and just try Archeage for a month and you will understand the real meaning of P2W.
Just drop 5000$ and you will be competitive gear wise. I remember seing guys with double of my HP and they were DPS.
The small 10% gain on XP and Gold wouldn't make a difference, because the gear is easy to get in ESO with few exception. Mostly crafted.
Funny. Either you are freeloading, which means from a financial point of view, F2P is better as a player. Or you end up paying more than a sub. So it is better for the company. More money obviously means F2P games will have more content, less bugs, better balancing, better art, more stable servers etc.*
*Except it doesn't. Just like with countries, companies can always make us of more money, to word it positively. More income from one source doesn't mean more money will flow back to said source.
Anyways, decide which one it is. Freeloading or paying your ass off.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
Actually the people that don't want to pay for the games tend to have more time to play then the people that do pay for it so they will get to cap faster than most paying players so maybe they should give freeplayers a -50% penalty for not paying so their complaining will make their p2w bs make more sense?
Depends what's in the cash shop at the end of the day.. what you can get with crowns.
.. and if there is a way to get crowns using some kind of in game method.
Where does it say the experience boost is til 50? It says for the duration of membership.
Think about it. After 50, VR XP converts to champion points.
Don't think that's advantage enough?
Up until endgame, who cares if you got there faster than someone else........once you hit endgame though, all bets are off. Any power advantage for someone at endgame who spends money, is P2W.
