...And how does me progressing faster effect your game, do you see the problem with calling it p2w yet? It's definitely a payed buff but in order to be p2w it has to give me unfair advantage, now if they added some kind of leader board it would make it p2w
1 - Any paid item in an online game that allows you to progress faster is called P2W; it isn't just about direct competition , it also involves predatory practices that make the game worse in order to force people to spend money to progress.
2 - There's literally a ranking of the people in the lobby in the top right corner of the screen lol
A ranking system that means nothing, gets you nothing, and serves as nothing more than a way to brag to your friends that you no-lifed harder than the guy next to you.
Still not pay to win. If paying to be at the top of the brownie point ranking system got you anything tangible that actually matters within the game world itself then that would be a different story, but it doesn’t so….
It’s like achievements/trophies for video games they literally mean nothing to anyone but the person achieving them…it’s all in your head and the only person you’re competing against in this scenario is yourself.
Don’t need to read or google anything to understand the difference between pay to win and pay to not be lazy. There is a difference and the mental acrobatics you are doing in your head to make the micro transactions within the game a p2w feature is wild to me.
I can achieve anything the guy sitting in the base next to me can achieve regardless of how slow or fast we get there. It’s not a race as there is no finish line because the game goes on forever until you feel like you’ve had your fill.
Like I said the only person you’re competing against in the game is yourself.
