Have you ever stopped to think that you leave certain gameplay/mechanics miserable for a long period of time, to frustrate the player or leave him exhausted with absurd grinding that makes the game seem like the myth of Sisfus, and all of this is done purposefully precisely to generate a sense of urgency, because being a free player you will never end the miserable gameplay in a timely manner to enjoy the game… and this design is p2w, there is no p2p, if you need to pay to progress in a timely manner and your success in the game depends on the progress, it is p2w.
p2p is the fancy way of saying that the game is p2w.
And for you to defend this in two ways, either you’ve already spent enough money on this game that you don’t want any changes because that would make your investment in vain and bring you immense frustration.
Or you are in some way one of the millions of people who are psychologically vulnerable to this type of predatory practices. (I’m not saying this as a demerit, this really exists and is exploited by game markets, especially gachas, I’m not saying this to offend you, I include myself in this group of people, I have been a victim of this many times).
Firstly, your argument is entirely about semantics. Might I remind you that definitions of words are often arbitrary and differ among who you ask? It is the same situation you are trying to describe here. P2W, P2P, still the same unfair mechanics you debate over while Gaijin dies of laughter in the background. At a certain point, it becomes meaningless; arguing for the sake of arguing.
Secondly, sources like Cambridge Dictionary don’t make the same distinction you do between these two terms. By its definition, P2W is simply paying to get an advantage. And an advantage that can be matched by time is an advantage nonetheless. Your definition is much more arbitrary and lacks authority.
Even if it did matter, it would still not be a central point of conversation. Regardless of your intentions, your posts only serve to redirect attention away from the issue at hand.
It is like seeing a starving man, and, instead of giving him food, you argue with him that what he really experiences is called “hunger” and not “starvation”.
It doesn’t. You come into every thread trying to defend broken features and immoral practices by the executives who don’t know anything about video games. P2P is just P2W with extra steps.
The bare minimum of daily logins can net you quite a bit.
I’m in an advantageous position being that the roll over for it is midday here, so I can quickly login prior to ensure I don’t break the streak, then log back in after the rollover to have it clocked in.
Does WT Mobile count your log ins as they promised in the roadmap? I’ve tried WT Mobile and can’t enjoy it purely because playing on a touch screen is horrendous but I can have it installed to quickly log in I suppose.
They say it does, but I don’t know if it counts the rewards you get, it just keeps that daily number up I think.
That’d need someone to clarify it because yea, the BP gives you a number of points for getting that daily up and keeping it there over the time of the BP.
I went to install it but my device didn’t handle it according to the play store.
Then why do you stick around and play this game still? You know you are facing heavy payers like I know I am facing PC players on my Console.
Suck it up or walk ,nothing is going to change for you are me.
No I dont and I don’t talk in BS riddles either trying to sound cleverer than I am.
I play a game that to me was always very much against me as a player who played the old X Box one.
Even spending as much as I did I still got hammered so badly against PC players on ULQ or $4000 super computers with massive screens,Cheats and God knows what.
So may wont touch this cross platform game.I stuck it out even thoguh the odds were against me.
I dont hide behind being on console.
It’s odd that my War thunder race is run and that coincides with me doing my tax returns and seeing just how much I actually spent on this game in the days when I truly loved it,small amounts at a time but so many times.
A hell of a lot.So check my stats and tell me where that money went in this pay to win game.
If you are playing for free don’t bleat and cry.Give yourself a pat on the back that you have all the game has to give and it didn’t cost you a penny,
Enjoy your free game.With the amount of games you have played I see that you are.
Let me explain it in simpler terms. A “false dichotomy” is a logical fallacy in which someone presents two choices as the only ones possible. In this case, you are saying that players should either
Not play the game.
Or
Play the game and don’t complain at all.
Which is incorrect, as you can enjoy a game while asking for it to be better. And have no misconceptions, War Thunder is paid for entirely by its players and investors. There is nothing wrong with us players calling for a better game.
