Read in the Paper: Ea is going to add P2W to all their games

Not sure how many times I have to say this but yes they are that dumb.

You sir, are reading "De Telegraaf" a newspaper known for flashy titles and a lot of hot air.
Meddling with the truth is also a favorite past time of this rubbish paper.
Pay, to not have to grind is not pay to win.

No. They really aren't. The only way they would do that as a company is if it 100% will bring them profit. The CM is already bringing in that profit with reskins and random bs that people just want. Nothing on the CM really pisses off the customers, but putting a lightsaber or cannon or pistol that will break the game in the CM for purchase would piss off about everyone and make them stop paying or just stop playing regardless.

As a company who wants to make profit, no they are not that dumb to risk the awesome amount of profit they are making right now to even try that.

And you think headlines in newspapers are that accurate?

EA have said that they will put micro-transactions in their games, that does not automatically equate to P2W.

Thanks for the translation, the author's bias was abundantly clear and he provided no evidence that EA were adding P2W in all their games. "Pay-to-not-have-to-run-around-picking-up-resources" is not P2W.

The only problem with p2w if it does exist in swtor is that it would be temporary.

For example; buying the best pvp gear would only be seasonal for one patch until the next one. So what is it worth to 'pay to win' for only 2 months?

In a way the method of getting pvp gear and having to redo it every 2 months with having alts actually encourages a p2w system if it were priced right.

And without a p2w system you have several alts not able to compete in pvp, and doing a long gear grind for top gear which will get reset in 2 months.

So without the p2w its not fun and too much gear grind.

And even with p2w its only time limited until the next patch.

Right, the other aspect of that, is in MMOs, people need reasons to keep playing. If you could buy all your top tier gear, it would limit playtime significantly. People would clear content too fast and then have nothing left to do. That's not what you want in MMOs.

You say that like George didn't willingly go into it... Way to try to stir the pot with all the fear mongering.. And a Dutch paper? Really? What, was it written on the inside of a Zig-Zag?

So buying levels isn't Paying to Win?

I give this massive troll attempt +1.

Micro transactions are here to stay.

Pay to win will tank the MMO industry. It also would tank FPS or Sports online as well.
