STO was P2W from the start and as MMORPG's go is a pretty p*** poor attempt considering the IP. I gave the free trial a shot sometime back and uninstalled after 20 mins of mind numbing boredom. This guy leaving makes no difference as STO is nothing more than a stodgy turd in the gutter of the MMORPG highway.
FACT!
No, it really wasn't pay to win. To be pay to win, PvP has to be the focus, and the cash shop has to sell things that are far superior to what is in the game. PvP wasn't the focus in STO, it was just another feature that was slapped together. Heck you didn't even need to win in the PvP matches either, as the everybody wins nature of them made sure everyone was rewarded. STO's cash shop was just Cryptic and Atari's way of milking every cent they possibly could from the playerbase, but the advantages available from it weren't significant enough to label it pay to win.
"Oh my, how horrible, someone is criticizing a MMO. Oh yeah, that is what a forum is about, looking at both sides. You rather have to be critical of anything in this genre as of late because the track record of these major studios has just been appalling." -Ozmodan
I have very little faith in PW's ability to put together quality games.
Oh thats fine, your completely entitled to your opinion. However there are literally millions of people playing their games who disagree with you.
Would you like to eat your words now Nagus??? I have a feeling Stahl was the archetect to this whole time gate farmville gimmie money direction STO fell.
