TOR to sell Stated Gear In FTP cash shop here is our new content after 6 monthes of n

More and more, this feels like a PAY TO WIN model instead of a FREE TO PLAY model.

Nope,as an EQ2 player off and on for seven years and hardcore raided most of the time the BIG money stuff is mounts and appearance gear,things like extra exp pots are nice but you still needed to grind hard.

As far as green gear it seems kinda silly to me,i sell crafted stuff that is far better than green gear for cheap often with my armormech in the 20's to mid 30's range,such as belts,gloves due to those being kinda hard to find.

I am really beginning to fail to see the reason to pay a sub anymore... I mean, what advantages will a sub player have under the new F2P model? Besides access to stuff that it ALREADY bought / earned / unlocked / grind.

selling gear regardless if it's the best or the worst is like confirming they plan on pay 2 win and what happens if their experiment works and people are foolish enough to buy this stuff?

But it's really not. Some of you peeps have a very rigid and strange definition of P2W.

$9.99 isn't the end of the world. If you spend hours on the forum complaining about how you won't part with a nickel or a dime, you could have spent 1 hour of that time working - even at minimum wage you'd be able to earn that cost back. Or perhaps eaten one meal at home instead of buying from a fast food chain.

It's not that I want to pay for stuff if I am already a subscriber. It just confuses me why people think their pocket change used for entertainment is the single most pressing issue in the universe. In no other industry than the gaming industry do customers go on such vitriolic rants and vow to boycott all future products of a company just because the company is trying to make money.

If you see the value in what you're paying for, pay for it. If you don't, just vote with your wallet and go elsewhere with your money. If McDonald's is charging more for a burger than Burger King, you don't stick around in the McDonald's restaurant and go on a religious crusade to ensure that they never get another customer again and shouting to the world that charging $1 more is an act of unspeakable evil. You simply go to Burger King.

It's not that we can't afford it, it's the principle of it. If you are paying a sub for 15/month and you have to pay the same as f2p players for normal content updates then what's the point in staying subscribed? At the very least they need to offer a large discount to subscribers, atleast 50% off. How is it fair for those of us that have payed our sub month after month without new content just to get hit with an additional charge because they withheld the content on purpose for the release of their f2p model?
