Pay to win?
Installing it right now, I would like to know if this game is "pay to win". Wanna play a new mmorpg but want to avoid "pay to win games".

If the money folks get MORE powerful than you could EVER be, that's P2W. Like Fire said, it is ok; you are legion.

saying buzzwords like "legion" implying sheep or something doesnt legitimize your argument,
the argument is they will be more powerful than you because they can always avoid the grind an therefor win over you everytime which gives them an unfair advantage. youre trying to argue that its acceptable if theres a month long grind to get a 5 dollar cash shop item, which is paying to win

pay to win has never and will never mean an impossible to achieve amount of advantage as a free player. you fail to grasp this and thats OK youre new to gaming most likely, ill go check your profile and see 2 years or some crap

I'm not saying acceptable or unacceptable. I'm saying it isn't P2W.

I quit because the game design, steep prices and exploits were unacceptable. I also find it unacceptable to dilute endgame to the degree they did. You're not talking to a fanboy.

What I'm saying is that the game isn't, by definition, P2W.

I've been gaming for over a decade. Been playing MMORPGs for several years. Anything else?

And there is in no way a 30 day grind for $5 cash shop item. Not unless you barely play. That's silly.

yup i guessed exactly right, 2 years, probably a 12 year old kid

I'm 24. I only got Steam because friend were on it, and I finally noticed teh awsum of Steam Sales. Previously, I just directly downloaded games.

It shows a lot though, that you assume so quickly.

EDIT: Plus, if I were 12, so what? There's a lot of very intelligent 12 year olds; in fact, a few utter geniuses.

There is no argument to this game it is F****** Dungeons & Dragons if you do not like certain gameplay aspects play a different MMO.

Hm... one question. What is the point of getting end gear weapons and armor if the players do not compete between themselves for world boss drops or things like that? Or is there a good reward and game content for PVP?

Huh? World boss?

And there's specific rewards that cannot be bought but require significant endgame activities.

It's not P2W in the idea that you can level and hit 60 and just buy all the end-game gear with real $. Their money shop only sells mounts, etc. Not actual gear, or anything super useful.

And nothing in the game is only obtainable with money. Everything you could buy from the ZEN store, you could play/grind and obtain by just playing.

Now, the game comes close with enchanting, and that leads into PvP... Enchanting runes are the item you can slot onto a piece of gear and add stats... Each type of enchantment has 10 ranks, and you can get a lvl 1 enchant and potentially level it to 10.. That's where the P2W comes in.

You level an enchantment by using other runes on it, and upgrading it. When you do this, it has a % chance to succesfully upgrade to the next level. Like level 1-2 is 95%, 2-3 is 85%. If it's unsuccesfull, you lose it. BUT! you can buy 'wards' with real $, that make upgrading an enchantment 100%...

So a level 9 enchantment has a 1%... 1%! chance of upgrading to 10... The amount it takes to get to level 9, no one would be crazy to try upgrading it at 1%, so obviously you buy the ward...

So PvP is filled with people with really high level enchantments, and then the rest of the normal players.

NOTE: You may find a F2P mmo that truly isn't P2W, but it's going to be rare, and you will not find one that doesn't have some way to give a player who pays a nice advantage in either PvE, PvP or both... That's the whole business model.

See, the above poster understands what pay to win is and what isn't.

Dont start with this game. Its really time wasting. I played this since beta and every day for hours. Its really hard to get your endgame gear, all members of my guild needed 1 or more WEEKS to get a SINGLE T2 set. My opinion about this rune stuff. When you dont have time to farm Castle Never 10 hours each day even with all the "shortcuts" and a 5 men premaid raid you will not have enough AD to buy a Greater enchant or even a rank 9 rune. For example my Greater soulforged costet 5 million AD.

Sounds too grindy for me I'll stick with Secret World. Thanks for sharing guys I mean that.
SwobyJ 6 ENE 2014 a las 10:22 a. m. 
Rza has it.

Regarding the enchanting though, I have heard that people sell the Wards on the Auction House for a reasonable enough price, like 100,000 AD (dunno if that's considered reasonable but I'm going off of old rumors)? If so, then it's not so bad. Cryptic then just wants SOME people to get money towards them - not YOU specifically to buy wards. Just make some AD from the dailies, AH, stuff like that.

But yeah, Neverwinter isn't strictly P2W, but in some areas it goes right up to the edge. Enchantments and PvP competition are the big ones.


But to Savar, 1 or more weeks? Is that a big deal? ..Really? Are you saying 1+ weeks of regular grinding for it?

That's actually a lot less grinding than other games.

You do know that with the best gear, there isn't much left to do progression wise? Why the rush?

Just wondering.

TSW is absolutely full of grind. It's just all stacked at the top. (QL10.5, filling out ability wheel, and now auxilary weapons and weapon skins and the new 'augment' system to evolve the abilities even FURTHER).
It is also mostly horizontal. There isn't much tiering, except from Green to Blue to Decimal gear in endgame, and for almost all content, you're fine with Blue/Elite QL10 gear.
But that's the same with Neverwinter. For at least everything non-PvP (like TSW..), you're pretty damn good with the gear they give you normally, without grinding...
Fire Walk With Me 6 ENE 2014 a las 10:27 a. m. 
Yeh I am not claiming TSW has no grind, it does of course. I'm just perfectly okay with it as I feel like you don't NEED it to compete.

I was just looking to see if something could take me away from TSW. Neverwinter might be a lot of fun but people are polarized enough on it where its a pass for me. And fantasy...meh.

Have fun though it sounds pretty decent :csdsmile:

I play several MMOs. Not to the point of being a MMO nomad (haha), but enough to explore the field.

RIFT --> Main game, but I take breaks. Regularly into some part of the endgame, and its the only MMO where I've really sunk into raiding to a significant enough degree.

TSW --> I want it to be my secondary game (I'm mostly QL10 Blues, almost all missions done), but I'm waiting for my boyfriend to catch up (he's in Savage Coast, needs new GPU to play again). At the very least, I'm very much looking forward to the ...eventual... Tokyo zone :)

GW2 --> Can't get much into but prepared for it at some point, probably with at least one IRL friend.

SWTOR --> Still in Chapter 3 of my main's class story. Taking forever for me... Once I finish Makeb and get into endgame, I'll finally see if I can deal with the game as a whole. So far, I can, but it doesn't grip me outside of a few aspects.

Neverwinter --> Just mid-levels actually, so whatever I say on endgame is ultimately speculative. Enjoying it so far with a certain perspective put on ;). There IS a lot of good stuff! It's just mixed in with meh stuff you'll need to (easily enough, unless super picky) ignore, and a few BAD things that will never get fixed due to the nature of the game, the cash shop, and the developers' and publishers' reputation. Not a broken game so don't believe those who say that, but it is perfectly justifiable to refuse to play, or refuse to pay money.

I've played several others but not to a huge extent. I barely remember my time in WoW now.
