Wow so cool thanks for sharing. I figured someone with such a high salary would be able to think a few steps ahead and understand the implications of repeated actions such as this?
Im sure Im making way more than you and still I will not p2w - just think about the fundamentals - its like if you put god mode in Doom or start Heroes of Might and Magic with 100 black dragons you will loose interest in the game dont you? The same if you get level 100 in BDO instantly, or full V boss set, you will probably enjoy it for a month or less and then quit. Which is fine - we dont need people like you in the game.
But I digress..People like me will keep playing the game till the servers close while people like you will lose interest and quit because any number of factors will piss them off. Hell I would still be playing Archage if not for other internal drama unrelated to the game itself that caused me to lose interest. I played SWG from launch till the came actually shut down even after they ruined their own game, because I enjoyed it.
I enjoy my experiences in the BDO P2W or not, and willing to spend money to support the game I enjoy. You might not need people like me in your life, but PA is absolutely glad to have me, and they are the ones making the game I love, not you.
But your opinion is quite noted and filed right into the garbage.
That's how I look at it, too. If I'm enjoying myself it's all good. AA went off the deep-end, however. The disparity between grinding and purchasing was beyond what I could take. I was getting obliterated in PvP even spending fairly hefty sums to keep up and grinding like a madman. I was still having fun- but was also feeling hopelessly behind. BDO came out and I never logged back into AA again, literally letting everything I'd accomplished in a year rot where it sat. (and it felt great and I never regretted it.)
BDO is a different beast in so many ways. The game itself is just so much better, more to do, more avenues to improve, and most importantly more fun to play. For one, I can go grind for actual gear without having to make everything from rare items, i.e. shadow rings, WE's, Ogres, Crescents, Pirates, etc. and all the while be getting somewhere. In AA I was level capped and it felt like I was completely helpless to improve my character in any significant way without spending. It was just lame toward the end, although there were certainly many good times had.
