GS is a monetized grind; the free path will continue to become less achievable. By design.

Sure you can, it just means buying up to 94 GS levels first. Then, the last three expansions are apparently CC-only.

You forget this is primarily a Cash Shop stronghold. I suspect the monetized portions will be better.

It's part of the cash shop. @JackieKo please tell the Emperor how thankful we are for you and your team's responsiveness to all things cold, hard cash. ❤️

OR P2W transactions should be opposed on principle, and we ought to get beyond arguing over how much advantage-for-money is too much. Any is a problem. -

The definition you propose for P2W would allow so much malevolence it's meaningless. You fail to see it's a question of kind (yes/no), not degree (too much?). People defending the sale of Crystals, which are literal best-in-slot gear for cash, shows how effectively EA has groomed us for abuse. -

This is where I argue it's a question of kind, and not degree, which is the creeping doom that gets defended here. -

This is instructive. EA is literally selling best-in-slot gear, and you don't care because it's just a little. We shouldn't be the Niemöller of unethical business practices. "When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out." -

Easy example: Literally anything worth having in the Cash Shop, which functions like another premium currency and launders cash into core game systems. If you want to Aug-out an endgame character, nothing comes close to the efficiency of Cash-to-Credits conversions on the GTN. It's the thinnest of shell games. Or: Crystals are literal BiS gear for direct sale.
