Read past the title. You can’t progress in this game unless you or someone else pay real money for your progress.

that’s not pay to win lmao that just means irl money is part of the game
pay to win = /= real money based system
pay to win == when you’re forced to spend money in a competitive setting which LA doesn’t have outside of gvg
pay to progress arguments are the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen as well. All these no job basement dwellers want an advantage spending 80hs a week on this game and are malding that someone working irl can spend 2hs to make up their 80hs of progress

if there’s real money in a game that doesn’t mean pay to win your brain has actual problems
pay to win has 3 words
pay is just one word
pay to win implies paying to result in some occurence
just having pay in a game isn’t any result go back to ur basement noob hahalulxd
by your brainlet definition every game where you can spend real money in it is pay to win. Sheesh isn’t that every single game on the market right now? Every game is pay to win! Even RPGs have optional content on steam that you spend money on wow!
People are not aware that everytime they buy blue crystals with their gold they’re trading it for someone else’s real money.

its not only what you mentioned, its the general unadressed game design issues like too many home-work, gatekeeping, lack of support, tons of timed events
people take this for granted but its the developer fault that those things are hindering the gameplay of many
sure you should be tempted to swipe but there should be some balance, and there is none, thats why game has beraly 50k online for europe + america, garbage korean company

issue for that is mostly RMT 100k gold 10$ even your average mcdonalds part time job student 10$/hr with 100hs a week to play who wants to feel good about themselves in a video game can afford to swipe that.

people are getting banned by buying dirty gold
they look for mostly clean hand farmed gold which is more exapnsive, ags do ban alot of rmt and they are in fear despite what people here say (I visit their forums)
so you should take rmt out of the equation

all B tier islands are equalized, and all A/S tier islands require good pvp knowledge and teamwork, sure ilvl does matter, but a highly skilled player will always destroy an average whale
You can sell cosmetics probably like all games did in the past.
Can you destroy a 1590 9/7 100 quality capped whale?
why does it matter? Competitive PVE is hell modes stop being insecure
I can, heck im doing it every time the slime capture event is up
Y’know, this makes me think that GvG died a lot earlier than it would have if the bots weren’t around and third party gold wasn’t super cheap
I mean a lot of those guilds were suspected to have bought third party, and now you’re hearing about how GvG is essentially dead, barely thriving
My theory: the only people who did care were the ones that were buying G2G gold and screwing everyone else over, then those people all got banned and now no one cares
GvG could have been something for everyone when it came out, but with G2G gold giving such a huge advantage to those who bought, no one wanted to try it, and now those people are gone
Interesting if you think about it, no proof of this though, sad

this is the most monka dumb appraoch to this issue ive seen
Pheons cards consumables = gold purchasable (bc =/= irl cash)
ive geared and re geared 7 classes in 5x3 with out using irl cash it just takes time. the only time p2w matters is if u want it “now” and thats the case in every MMO its not exclusive to LA. IMO this game has some of the most forgiving non p2w systems across many MMos.
consumables are even cheaper 3k gets u 100 hp pots that will last you ages per class and thats not even one clear of valtan hard.
GVG is small content and can be done without p2w i dont see where you drew this conclusion.
Yes and no. Maybe for you it’s not irl cash but some people need to use their irl cash to „sell“ the bc for gold, that others can buy them with gold.
players dont need to do anything and this is not party of the argument as you stated the BC requires irl to get pheons
when u get the BC with gold to buy pheons. just because someone sells doesnt mean u can factor it into the end users metric
the fact of the mater is your points have no solid ground.
its not p2w for me to use gold to buy BC to buy pheons
if you make the choice to buy pheons with your own money thats ur choice but isnt pay to win as you can do it easily without spending money.
P2W insinuates that its impossible to do without dropping real money on the game
Oh and how you want to get Pheons if no one use their own money?
Then there would be no BC you can buy with gold.
you dont even understand your own stance now its embarrassing
“Blue crystals aka IRL cash”
was your statement for buying things like card catalog
This isnt p2w as you are not spending real money to buy the item, someone is selling you their crystals so they are whaling, that gold now doesnt given them the ability to win evident by the shitters at high ilvl that still get jailed in raids or cant play the game.
the fact of the matter is whales circulate the economy and keep the gold flow stable, whilst keeping the servers alive
its a free game, with no need for money spending how else will the servers and game stay alive if they didnt provide a way for a small and i repeat small population of the server to spend giga $$ for the same gear that everyone else will get.
i dont like p2w predatory systems as much as the next guy but this game is far from an issue of “i need to spend money or i cant play the game” (which is what p2w really means). pheons are a economy stabilizer and i do think they should be reworked and less intrusive but they arent a p2w mechanic.
