you can pretty much grind most of the items and features in this game...it's doable but it's time consuming...for example I got only 1k platinum despite the amount of time I've spend getting that amount on my main necro char, getting most of it by selling lanzan bags and farming it for hours and hours...but it's a fun F2P game...but also a lot of time consuming aswell
And 2-3 years? What event are you talking about?
At the moment you can get an arclight mount for free from a lockbox from 2 quests, that can be done at level 30... or you do it with new alt. characters again and again with someone that sidekicks you to level 30.
And yeah, if you want one of those special mounts, you have to grind a lot, and a sub. won't help you with it, since EVERYONE gets the SAME amount of currency for the quests.
During the last real seasonal event, Fae Yule, every F2P player, that put in some time to get enough snowflakes, could get the same rewards as any other player with patron pass or a running sub.
Pay to win? Pay to win WHAT?!
Just play the game and have fun, and if you like it, buy a Rift Collectors/Ultimate/Normal Edition Game Box online, free your F2P account from the auctionhouse restriction, and get some nice other account upgrades for it.
If you like Rift, you can also get the ascend-a-friend code from my profile.
Some of the rare mounts are actually aquired by achievments on hard modes in dungeons.Like kill some boss without him hitting you with some of its variety of hits,or whithout healing and such,but thouse are mainly end game.
At the moment we can see this proven by the arclightrider event, there are some with an event mount in nearly any free box they did get, and there are some with only random loot in boxes they did buy from the store, and it had nothing to do with a patronage too.
So endgame just like in most F2P games are P2Win, other parts are not. Most people dont care competivie raiding/PVP so they dont see this.
Other people just value their hundred hours of played time as free (those are the kids without any income).
I value 100 hours of boring grind (daily quests/running same dungeons 100times) at least 3000 bucks.
Yes, you can spend 100hours to grind out curency, but won't change the fact that the one who pays gets the upgraded gear instantly so you will be constantly left behind.
And the guy who pays, earns a lot more money in 100hours not grinding but working in its dayjob :D Depending his salary from 1500-6k USD usually.
Time is money. Nothing in life is free.
-> Rift Collectors/Ultimate/Storm Legion Combo/Normal Edition Game Box,
-> Nightmare Tide Typhoon Edition,
the two soul packs:
- Storm Legion Souls
- Dream Souls
are more or less optional, and can be obtained later with ingame (get enough plat. and trade it with other player for REX, which will give you Credits to spend in the Rift Store) currency.
- with the game box comes a lot for your f2p account, and of course you will be able to use the auctionhouse fully now too.
- with the Typhoon, you will be able to use any gear (planar attunement...) and any gear slot (earring slots)
