Becoming a whale in a p2w game is *fun*!!!

nariusseldonnariusseldon Member EpicPosts: 27,775

I just spent $30 on Marvel Heroes getting the 4 heroes pack with some shelf space. I guess since Iron Man is OP ... some here will say that is p2w. Well, i don't pvp (certainly not in that game) so I guess i just have to "win" but having lots of fun.

But heck .. it surely is fun ... and becoming a whale (guess $30 is not a huge whale, but more than those $0 free players) does not feel too bad. And certainly mowing down hordes and hordes of mobs with missiles and repulsors is fun. Wish they have a little more polish like D3, but hey .... I can't play Iron Man (or Cap America, or the Hulk) on any blizz games.

    its not your 30$ that is mowing down hordes of mobs , any class can do it for free also , Marvel is an easy game , and its not uncommon to gather up 30 elites and blow them up..

    so you say it is not "p2w"? Too bad ... i am going for some "winning" fun. I guess i just have to settle with plain old ARPG fun.

    It amazes me too .. .but hey if it is fun, why not? It is not like I cannot change my mind about spending money on MMOs.

    Plus, Marvel Heroes is close enough to a ARPG that i can always claim i am not spending money on a MMO.

    (Wait ... i never said i don't spent money on entertainment .. i play lots of SP games .. i just don't spend money on MMOs usually)

    I just realized, if mmorpg.com put in some kind of forumquest cash shop, they would probably make hundreds of dollars off of narius, lets be honest, forumquest is his favorite game.

    "Whales" are the big spenders in a ftp game that can sometimes account for a large percentage of the overall revenue of the game. Spending 30 bucks doesn't make you a whale.

    You aren't a Whale, you are a Dolphin, nub.

    the last one is ok, the others are pretty sad.

     

    To get people to 'debate' it, take pokes at Nari, like "Thanks for playing for my gaming" or something like that, then he can 'debate' back, since it was sarcasm, and a poke at people that disagree with Nari for the most part, or commonly called Sunday.

    nah 19k posts since 2007/12 is nothing. It is like 6 and a half years, and roughly 2372 days. So we are talking about 8 posts per day .. and that takes what ... 15 min?

    I need to post 10 times as much to take away time from my gaming (and other stuff).

    Not to be disrespectful, but that is still a lot of posts. You do seem to spend much of your time here on mmorpg.com .

    pay 2 win is anything, I repeat anything that you can buy and will give you an advantage in game. So xp potions and bag space yes you count as a pay to win game - F off if you don't believe me.

    I do get drunk and post often, and that seems to help my banning process.

    was it really sarcasm?

    You have been focusing really hard in defending p2w games lately.

     

    Note: Marvel Heroes isnt p2w.

    It also takes a little bit of skill, and a little bit of experience to be able to properly pad your post count.  Posts like the above are a great example, small, easy to bang out in 15 or 20 seconds and boom, 1 more post in the 'ole counter.
