1 of the thing he said is exactly what is destroying the mmorpg's on the market and i am 100% with him on this. " Too many convenience things added to the games " They even hide the fact that it makes the games P2W GW2, BDO, WoW and the likes are all the same. But trust me when i say this : You will still see whales getting into them all the time and defend them ".
I have come to the realization that a great many hardcore gamers have severe psychological problems. They seem to be oblivious to P2W systems. I'm not trying to put them down either, because I do consider myself in that boat too. Maybe were dealing with a new digital disease that affects people in much the same way other diseases do. Denial is one of the most hardest things to understand. Denial is also a defense mechanism. Rationalization becomes a sport for people like us.
If this isn't p2w, I guess archeage isn't either....right?
Archeage has stuff in the cash shop that makes you stronger which can't be gotten ingame besides buying them from people. From charms that increase upgrade chance to great mounts and gliders. Let's no forget the patron that makes the game very restrictive without it.
BDO cash shop (For now) doesn't. One might say the revive potion but with this change everyone can buy them now. I wouldn't call no exp loss revive potions p2w tough considering pvp no longer makes you lose exp.
