Whatever happened to learning to play new games because they play different from our other games...
It's not just MMOs, seems like the newer generations of gamers were brainwashed on really crappy mobile games where t…

You are not wrong. At this point even if they do not produce anything (I am convinced they will, I am also convinced it will be about 80% of what CR has promised) they will still go down in history as one of the most overfunded cr…

You are dodging the point by taking an agnostic approach; the point was made multiple times up thread that what whales really want is in-game stuff: specifically, in-game stuff to be used against other players that didn't pay for it in a similar man…

Again, I dislike socioeconomic stratification in gaming. Was that not clear? I told no one they couldn't enjoy their game that way, you're making that up.
Even if having the shiniest ship ASAP makes it most enjoyable for hi…

Not really. If a game is open world PvP, with all that implies, it doesn't have to be focused on PvP. Open world PvP gives the player's the agency to focus on it in spite of gameplay systems geared towards other activities.

But all of this aside, why does it sound like everyone who's arguing against it thinks this game is going to be entirely PvP. I plan on spending as much time as possible not interacting with other players (b…

Because I'm not a fan of bringing RL socioeconomic stratification into gaming.
Players that spend more time get further, which isn't really an issue, because video games are entertainment. That's the entire goal: to spend ti…

Because time is accrued equally for everyone. Money is not. The resources are not at all similar.
But if they can obtain the same result, what does it matter? Unless you are aiming to be the first person to the finish…

This is a commonly made argument in defense of 'pay to win', and it has never been satisfying to me. There are some flaws, here:
As @rpmcmurphy points out: if someone has more time to play the game, good for them. If someo…

In one scenario it would take a person a lot of time, they would probably have quite a few mishaps along the way. In the other scenario it takes no time at all with zero mishaps along the way.

In a way you are right, as long as people are able to buy the advantage with real money then there will never be any balance in the PVP in the game.
As for why would Credit Card Carl and his Visa friends repeatedly blow someone up, wel…
Whoa whoa whoa, the previous cap was $750 a month? And people are getting cranky about them uncapping it? What?! $750 PER MONTH was already an absurd amount that 99% of the player base likely wouldn't keep up with. I see no reason to get any angrier…
I see two problems here: 1. The newer generation of gamers who play games only to complete them as fast as possible and 2. Companies that are looking to exploit that by offering shortcuts to the end in exchange for more money while in the process fo…

It's not even a case of "dumb ai". It's about a work in progress just like in any game in development not remotely relevant to be worth it's own thread.
