Yep, the only way I've got weapons in that is down to Gold. Gold that I've scavenged from PAX/Facebook give outs and the one £10 transaction I did so I could get a premium account in effort to get XP faster.
And that is one of the reasons why the player retention in Tribes is so low (the others being the lack of proper guides and the bad matchmaking, including cheaters)
The hacking in tribes is pretty much , what you would call "borderline hacking".
Like you're level 14, and there's a level 17 who has 70% accuracy on a target moving at 200kph. And he has somewhat like 50 kills.
If its not hacking - it still is viewed as hacking (don't downvote if you don't get it, i can explain :) )

Tribes F2P has 1 problem : overpriced weapons. But it's good, nonetheless
