There is no such thing as "Free to Play"

[SlipperyPete]

Free to Play is right up there with Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.

Let it go.

[Wandering Flare]

Technical "Free to Play" is as simple as "You don't pay anything to play the game".

Emotional "Free to Play" is Warframe.

cant let it go, either its dying at some point or iam. There is no proper counterpart, so im stuck with this, and what horrible grind but there are also good sides.

How can we make more money?
How about we use free to play players to satisfy paying customers?
How?
by adjusting few numbers (manipulate gameplay)

Premium giving any benefit in the match is a myth.

its not, some premium vics do have slight advantages to its tree counter parts such as the t72 turms having thermals at 10.0 while the normal t-72b that is the same BR doesnt.

Which still isn't that big and scary "РПУ" people keep screeching about whenever they miss a shot or get gaijin'd due to latency. I'm not kidding btw, people legit believe if you buy premium your stats get rigged to make you unkillable and able to kill everyone in one shot.

But Santa Clause is real. He brings me presents every year.

[SlipperyPete]

How about just charge a fair price for the game and include all the content instead of nickle and dime customers to death with some farce and lie of "free to play"?

Who shows up for work or pays people to show up for work for free and design a game? Baulder's Gate was good and I'm not going to explain why. If you can't figure it out then I'm not wasting my time.

Let's just cut the BS and stop with free to play and I'll stop telling you there is such a thing as Santa Claus.

There is also the Strikemaster plane that is so comically undertiered that I would consider it actually P2W. (It takes a pathological moron at the stick to get shot down in one of those at their BR)

I have only paid so much in the 10 or so years, its not much, unlike some people kicking out hundreds, which is fine I dont mind at all. its supports them and two you should get a perk out of it I guess. To say "Its not free to play" It kinda is if you dont mind all the prem's you 1) have to fight 2) out performance in SL, GD, and planes/tanks.

you can get prem's if you ( work hard / just get some skill ) for free. considering they are not that great but still free

[PoorMan Nate]

Gatcha games feel more generous then Gaijin/War Thunder

[Dropdead]

I don't like the fact that the game gimps my rewards if I don't spend money.
The grind is eternal.

[SlipperyPete]

If you go shopping for a car you might get to take a test drive but you'll never get the car for free.

Reality can be a ♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes but just give me a price and lets stop screwing around.

Don't come back with "Oh, you have to pay for blue tooth if you want to listen to music" BS. It's a flawed system and BS.

The solution to the riddle is simple: people just don't perceive it as 'playing' if they can't play the best (or the most hyped, these not always overlap) a game can offer, like MBTs, Mach 2+ jets, strike aircrafts and helicopters with guided ordnance in our case. Works amazingly well since VoreGnome company found it out (or even some devs before them) and continued to exploit this players' mentality weakness until today. However, technically, you may have fun playing only reserves you are provided with for free after account creation and pay the Snail not a single cent (just pay bills for the electricity or computer rental in a club, but those are different people after all, not Gaijin) so yes, the game is F2P.

To be fair to the people expecting to play modern stuff, that's all Gaijin advertises and an average person won't really parse that "hundreds of military vehicles" means stuff from all over the last century we've spent killing each other, not just modern stuff.

Check out the screenshots they have on Steam and imagine someone downloading the game purely off of them to be met with an I-15 and a BT-5 when they load up the game after like an hour it took them to download.
