People talking about the game being p2w
Many people in chat talking about this recently. They say the game costs 60$ yet battle pass premium section is pay to win, it rewards you with gold coins(main currency), weapon boosts, life skill boosts, xp boosts and stuff as they say.

How are you finding this, I remember AGS promising not to make it p2w in any way when they released this game for the first time. What happened, is it really considered pay to win?

No, it isn't p2w. All that stuff is useless. You can get level 65 in a day. Gold isn't hard to make. Lifeskills aren't that hard to level. Just tedious after a certain point. Since launch I'd already be 65 if I wasn't pvping and all my life skills that I care about are 100-150.

It's bordering on junk, at least to me. A few gold, some dyes, some food... junk. I actually forget to check and see if there's anything to collect. I wouldn't even consider buying Premium because, to me, that's junk too.

People say this game doesn't have a sub but if you want the season pass it's 20 dollars which is double the cost of almost every other game.

Yeah it's a scam lol

P2V should help players at the endgame. Here, it doesn't.

chat is a dumpster fire on there, which I find very entertaining lol.

Well I mean it is what it is. Not the worst I've seen but it's not like it doesn't exist.

As long as the playing field stays even I don’t mind, boosts are really only needed for people with less time.

No it isn't. Stop listening to idiots and ax grinders.

Always remember, many people in Chat are clueless dimwits, no matter what game is played.

It's PVPtoWIN

Character & weapon level progress is so fast, there is no real advantage in PvP. Just buy good equipment from trading post using the normal game currency, done.

Nothing from the battle pass is P2W. The EXP boosts for character/weapon/trade skills are virtually useless since you level so incredibly fast anyway. Gold isn't an issue either, you get plenty of coin from doing quests, looting supply caches/chests. etc.

This time around I've stopped crafting stuff like food, weapons, armour, whatever. As you say, levelling is so fast and decent drops so common it's not worth the time, grind and effort. Like you I just use the Trading Post for weapons - they're so cheap! I bought 12 Tier II blue weapons to outfit a sidelined lvl 22 character, who was still using green weapons, and it cost me about 18 to 22 coins in total. Absolute peanuts. Roughly half of them had gem slots, and the gems I bought cost peanuts, too.
