The only way to fight garbage like this is to point out these people's views as flaws and hope to change their mind so they don't spend money on it.
Most of the time, those people are too far gone. There's nothing to do except accept that there's too many people just utterly broken by this greed and will take it.

However I grew up with MTX so for me they are just how things are. I don't care if a game has them. If I want to spend money I will.
If you're just playing for the experience and then moving on, then you can probably avoid feeling the burn on the paywalls, otherwise you're going to eventually realize just how big a difference there is in progression between f2p and uncapped spending.
Sounds like self inflicted wounds to me.

I didn't play the PC version but for a mobile game I didn't notice anything overly offensive.
You have to be in a bad financial situation to point out how it can cost thousands on the low end, to be competitive in PvP or endgame gearing for high-tier rifts/bosses?
How can people be this disingenuous and think their argument doesn't come of as absolutely petty personal jabs, rather than anything remotely logical?
Like, I only touched the game for an hour or so (like.... a wizard and necro at level 11 each), but... where's the predatory mtx?
I saw cosmetics and..... that was it. There was like, something about legendary crests or w/ever but literally that's the only other thing I saw. Then again, I don't exactly tend to go scrutinizing every single pixel looking for something to scream about, to put it bluntly .
If you play the game at the speed the game makes you play it, you don't need money to play. Hahahahahahaha god I love the internet and less fortunate people. so fun.

In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
It's interesting there's people in this thread throwing questions, but avoid where all it's been laid out already.
Bit back to my point of the weirdly disingenuous behavior.
Let's please keep in mind that the concept of Pay to Win is against the very idea of the concept of game at least in the fair game sense of it.
So yes, the devs should make money (or the game dies) but the question is how to make money while keeping the game fair?
For sure the PvE part of a game is not competitive IMO (but I am sure some people would disagree). Obviously, the question becomes more relevant with PvP and should not be dismissed so easily.
Come on. Free to play ALWAYS means speed up progression with money. It's okay if you don't like that. Don't play the game. Stop acting like a genocide has occurred.
Secondly, do you REALLY expect a 100% free game? You think video game developers are just out there making games out of the kindness of their hearts for nothing in return? Of course not! It's a business.
Play it, or don't, but stop acting like it's something out of the ordinary or some evil conspiracy out to end the world. Sheesh.
This is the way.
