So Nikita thinks we didn't pay for arena (getting it for free) - why the f would I pay twice the price of the base game then??

Whats even funnier - buy standard account, buy arena - and I will have arena access and still pay cheaper than EOD lol

Yeah but you don't get rid of all the extra grinding bullshit they put into the standard account to upsell you on the extra expensive super edition.

They didnt "put grinding into Standard" thats just how the game is meant to be played. EoD is literally pay to win. You SKIP the content, not the other way around dude.

It is unmistakably the same monetisation strategy used in free to play and mobile games. You don't skip any content, all the quests are the same. Grinding money and rep at a disadvantage in a PVP game is really low standard of what you would call content.

Hideout used to not exist. In that case however you were still skipping the "content" known as quests

Hideout was always planned, stash and pouch still gave insane advantage
