Why?
For me, I want to play in a populated server from the beginning so I better start off with a larger crowd in a new server in the next 3 months.

I live in area, that has heavy restrictions. Sanctions.
I canât buy the game, even if I wanted, because there is simply no such option for me.

Iâm still debating, to be perfectly honest. Part of me wouldnât mind paying 50 bucks, but a large part of me also wants to feel wiser with my sense of money spending. 50 bucks is a lot, even if it is considered cheap enough in the modern world of gaming.

No, Crimea. Look in my profile, you will see.
Not going to pay for a game thats still in test state
i only pay for games thats well developed
I have a friend who can pay but will not join me. He just doesnât think the game is worth $50 as it is.
Itâs ping for me. I donât want to pay 50$ for a game with 400-600ms when I can buy AAA 3DS title for 30-40$.
as far as iâm concerned i wonât be paying the game because i value trust, respect and honesty over everything else.
If tIMC were honest with the playerbase and just announced the founder pack instead of the OBT i would have gladly opened my wallet and paid for the 60 USD one.
But instead they decided to announce an OBT, left with no word at all for 3 weeks, then came back and destroy their own announcment with the founder pack.
Thatâs like giving people hope and then smacking them in the face with an iron mace.
Since as i said my values are on how much i can trust the company and how much the company respect me and other players, and as how things are now i just donât trust IMC enough to even believe the game will live some months after this or that they will actually work for the best of ToS.
Even if i would love to pay and play now, i will not give them a single cent now nor i will after iâll join in June unless they actually do something to adjust the sneaky move they made.
That is my reason 
Itâs up to you but my advice, if you really canât decide from necessity and gaming, I suggest you keep the $50 because there are times that you really need to use it. Like you said, need to be wiser in spending money aye?
I donât want to pay because of the principal of it. 3 months is a very large advantage, far too long a head start.
Iâll likely still end up buying it (sadly) despite my best efforts because IMC is the dealer, and ToS is the crack. I had a taste in icbt2 and Iâve been fiending ever since. I basically have no choice.
But I am trying my hardest to say no. Because I donât feel I could consider it even remotely fair when comparing my purchase to someone who canât swing it for one reason or another. Putting myself in those shoes I would look up at the founders and resent their prolonged advantage while I would be forced to lurk forums for 3 more months hoping to catch the juicy details like I did in KToS. Honestly if I would have known it would have taken this long I probably would have played KToS, the only reason I avoided it is so I wouldnât burn myself out. So much time has elapsed though since icbt2 lol
they basically created f2p hype then slap you with a $50 bill to play earlier
not cool
edit: they made a obt f2p hype
My Wife say " No "
Itâs enouge reasonâŚ
DISCLAIMER
I am not against Early Access.
Principle. I donât support methods like this when there is no heads up that it will happen. Never have, never will. Not going to say anything on the âhonestyâ or w/e part of these shenanigans because they never said anything in the first place. So it has no grounds to build such a discussion on.
Basically; if they communicated better (perhaps they werenât allowed too? Who knows?) I would be more willing to throw money at this game right off the bat.
Oh; and 3 months Early Access is absurd. Coming from someone who has watched the Video Game Industry evolve over the last 5 years and has witnessed the explosions of Steam; I can safely say that this is the first time Iâve seen such a huge Early Access stage that wasnât a âReview Copyâ or a Testing Stage*.
*Note: Testing Stage as in an officially labeled Test. Not a makeshift one. Example: Obsidian Entertainmentâs Armored Warfare. You could buy-into their Closed Testing via Packs such as these. However the Closed Testing was already underway for a good while.
Edit; added words that were missing⌠Itâs late. My excuse 
I would probably participate if they actually did a good job during iCBT2. But no, 50 usd for something with this low quality of service donât sit well with me.
I just saw this announcement minutes ago, and my first thought is they will take the money, and run because the game will be a sh*tfest anyway.
If they did another iCBT3 with good result to reclaim themselves, and started this founder server things, I will probably join it.
This, i played a lot of mmo i mean, a LOT, and witnessed the ââearly access memeââ explosion, they usually was 3 days or even 2 weeks but 3 months is unreal
The game is constantly being balanced with many nerfs and buffs in kToS that will make or break a build. I donât want to pay that much money to play test when I can continue to play in kToS until iToS is free to play. 3 months will tell alot about iToS.
