is thisg game p2w?

[DJ Яákosníček]

just started to play this game, is this game p2w?

[CazadorDeLobo]

Nope. Pay to skip time gates, maybe. But you can't buy your way to max rank without an absurd amount of money. Literally thousands.

If looking in the market in your Orbiter... click the "Blueprints only" checkbox on the bottom right... you can buy blueprints of stuff with credits.

A common problem is that the stuff in the market shows all currency as Platinum to new players and doesn't inform you of non-platinum weapons.

This is one design flaw that I hate in this game. Before Market was changed all platinum stuff and blueprint stuff were in their own category. Information where to get clan weapons isn't obvious either. All that information could be right there when you select the weapon in the Market but instead you have to notice Info button and click it for more information.

I wouldn't say so,yes you can buy every warframe/weapon, but everything can be farmed too.

The only things you dont have access to through farming are cosmetic items, they can be only buyed with premium currency which you can buy for money ... or farm yourself!

How?

Thats because there is a prime parts economy, where you can sell/buy your farmed prime parts for premium currency, which can be quite profitable (On warframe market).

Conclusion: Not p2w: 1. As I said before. 2. The PvP part of Warframe is a hot mess, dont bother with it till it got reworked, which is probably never.

And then there are consumer created cosmetics, which you can buy only for money. If you like the creation consider buying some of them, quality is top and the creator gets his fair share. If not: skip.

its not p2w,its heavily pay not to grind.

[Sumire Violets]

No, everything in the market that is a weapon can be bought for platinum (premium currency) has a blueprint that is acquired by either buying it from the market, from the bi-weekly trader, clan research, etc.
Also weapons aren't everything, mods matter as well, so even if you theorhetically bought the best weapon, you would still need the mods.

I bought the best frames/weapons with money

[AngryShark]

The obligatory "is this game p2w" question.

[SpankyMcFlych]

If you can't farm items and trade for plat with other players then you will have to spend real money to get the plat to unlock frame and weapon slots. That's about the only plat you have to spend though. All the frames, weapons and items are farmable yourself and nothing seems like such an arduous grind (subjective opinion) that you're forced to plat.

Endgame is fashionframe. Fashion is tennogen skins. You cant buy those for plat. So if u want to be good in the endgame u have to pay real money. Sooo the rumors are true. WF is p2w heavy.

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

No, it's pay for expediency and pay2 look good. That's it.

[léo?]

So all those crazy looking skins I see on other players are store bought?

[GunsForBucks]

The game is not pay to win in that you don't really compete and once you have it all everything is fairly doable without too much of an issue... most of the time if you hit a snag it just means you have to look at the problem a different way.

People who follow the meta and just buy the power end up crying due to no "end-game" for their overpowered builds they bought... basically they bypassed the game by paying .. the game itself is the loot grind.

It is the journey... think of it as taking a trip across the country and back... it takes a lot more time but you can drive and camp your way and see tons of stuff... or you can pay for a plane ticket, do it much faster and wonder why you took the trip to begin with if all you did was sit in a plane.

pay to rush only
all you can get still from playing the game.
And if you wanna pay to rush you can just can get the plat from selling your stuff.
All can be get from jsut playing the game it self. (besides a few cosmetics )

about fashion frame (thats just a happy joke.
skinns mostly cost plat what you can get from trading. and some cost real cash 30% goes to the designers (called tenno gen) even thoose you can get for free if steam store merchanting.
but skins aint game play if you ask me so you can play it totally free.

to be honnest this is one of the best free to play looters around last few years.
it can you cant like it but there concept to let people play free all content. non is lucked behind cash gates.
