why ? free gear requires membership

[InnerPhoenix]

okay i just started and game already gives me gear that requires membership , thats just really dumb, not cool cheap gimmic to get you spending money right away. imo its a scummy move.

It's called intrusive monetisation

[Slayer Slayerson]

If you got a godsword or a barrows set, it's member server only because it is tier 70+ equipment and would be unfair to use it on a free server where the cap is 55 last i checked.

[Spartykins]

what gear did you get?

[Kaos]

If your new like me it is probably: The Mask of the Troll
Thought it was pretty clever. Cause the mask is trolling you

[InnerPhoenix]

mask of the troll and some silver hawlk boots

[Witcher Pie]

I mean, it's comestic isn't it?
Plus to get gear in f2p is easy as pie, so what do u even complain for?
It's just a little pointless gift with membership.

okay, so what?
Who cares?
why wouldn't they give a gift with the first membership of their new players?

It's like a mask of troll slayer thing, which was useless from the very beginning that i got it.
If you like it, take it, if you dont, then dont take it.

who would even pay a fiver for that balls??? **YAY! BONUS LOOT FROM TROLLS!!!! I AM GOING TO KICK ASS!!!!**

Just take it for what it is... steam going at it again... conning devs to sell their games/content here because all they care about is monehs!!!!

Please take a deep breath.
I was replying to the OP's post.

I thought it was also pretty funny.

naw its just plain stupid and a scum move to give bran new players stuff that only can be used by buying membership, thats really low for devs to do that to new players, bit of a turn off when it comes to supporting devs who do things like this.

[Good Old Gamer]

because this world is full of d-bag economics and companies that have lost their souls, i for one refuse to buy another game from steam

the tag line whic says - we are in the worst recession since the great depression and need to make a shi-ton of cash is 100% BULL!!! companies could easily sway the recession back to normality, if they go back to their original prices and souls - but EVERYONE needs to do it to make it revert... but no one will because money rules the planet

ya im good, you ?. and if people want or dont want an item is not the point, guess you missed that flight.

[iTzCodes]

mask of the troll is a item that forces troll tasks, the silver hawk boots help with Agility if you have them on with Silverhawk feathers on them. They are both destroyable and then you can reclaim from diango if you ever do decide to become a member. The TH is filled with f2p and member items, no way around it.
