In the current state of the game you don’t need to farm for months. You farm 1 day or 2 and buy a Token, just farm the right items. And although some don’t want to accept it, yeah, you can live without a Token. You can be a f2p player if you want it
I played a game where you could hardly kill mobs even in the early maps without a cash item.
You could buy mounts in the cash shop, but it was useless if you don’t buy mount feed weekly, also in the cash shop.
You needed to buy runes to be stronger, to do more damage, to heal more. But 1 level or 2 level runes wasn’t enough. You needed to spend maybe more than $1,000 to be almost strong.
You also needed to buy another cash item to get the 250% damage and heal bonus, but you could only activate it with another cash item that you needed to buy every month.
Do you want to complain about it? Well, pay for it. Only cashers could use forums on some servers.
That was pay to win for me, a “f2p” game where f2p players or players who don’t want to spend constantly couldn’t play at all. And if you wanted to buy cash items, you would pay much more than you would in a p2p game.
ToS has a system that benefits those who pay, but there is nothing to prevent those players who don’t want to pay. So if you want to be a f2p player, you are free to choose, because you can do it.
yep, pretty much this.
