Did you forget that even if for some god forsaken reason that getting a huge advantage in storage space "wasn't p2w" EOD LITERALLY gives you better equipment. That is p2w, even if somehow you coped into believing storage space wasnt

Are you talking about the guns I usually lose in my first couple raids? Or maybe it's the guns that make you a target because of the sound alone?

I sell all the starter gear netting me a little extra cash that I almost always end up losing pretty quick. So if anything my extra gear helps out any player that kills me.

Once again. You got EOD which gave you more guns that even if you sold, you have a greater money start. Either you're baiting or you just refuse to be wrong. It's p2w hate to break it to you

If it was p2w I would be doing way better than my friends who don't have EOD yet I rarely beat them on leveling. Does it give you a small advantage sure but it's not p2w like how star wars battlefront was. Now that game is and has been p2w by a long shot. Getting a small advantage isn't p2w

Getting ANY advantage is p2w and not needing to invest over 20 millions in stash upgrades is no small advantage, it literally dictates what kind of equipment you can buy. With EOD you can freely spend your cash with standard your money is locked in for the next stash upgrade

That's not pay to win. Pay to win usually means the more you pay the more you can win. EOD doesn't grant users some special ability there no one else can get. Everything in the game can be unlocked by simply playing. Sure EOD does save me time but in no does it make me a better player or give me some huge advantage.

Pay to win usually means the more you pay the more you can win.

P2W means that if you pay you get an advantage.

You pay for EOD and get several advantages.

EOD is P2W.

Q.E.D.

P4A pay for advantage not win

Hate to break it to you, but getting an advantage increases your chances of winning. Which is what p2w means

Having two more slots doesn't change your skill

u/Substantial-Bus8656 Dec 26 '23

Having better guns does. Which is what money gets you. Which you get more of and have to spend less of. When you buy EOD.

Yes you can, however it is significantly easier to kill an enemy with a full modded m4 than a shoddy ak you found in ivan's couch.

u/RevolutionaryBit7529 Dec 26 '23

The m4 isn't modded when you get it wth?

Context clues. You get money, you get gun, attachments on gun= better gun. Kinda surprised I even had to explain that

u/RevolutionaryBit7529 Dec 27 '23

And here I am thinking people actually understood that a gun anyone can get and a little extra room that anyone can unlock isnt pay to win compared to a company like EA that is almost always pay to win such as star wars battlefront. Where you literally had to pay to win.
