You are an uninformed person. You really should do some digging before you post these ideas you have as facts.
Irony, considering that you just posted some delusional garbage about "well every MMO ever already does this so this is ok".
The fucking hilarious irony of you ignorantly believing that all games already ARE this bad, thereby you justify your precious little cash shop for this unreleased game.
So, so funny.
Maybe you should do some basic research on the industry before you make ridiculously ignorant and delusional claims that these kinds of offense and abusive mechanics are "normal" and don't ruin games.
Will this game be ruined by Pay to Win mechanics? No one can really say for now. Just be aware that the devs are fully aware of that criticism and it has been their outspoken goal since day one to keep the game from being that while still providing a bit easier access to the older crowd that doesn't have 150 hours a week to play video games. They do want those people to also be able to access their dream ship in game in a reasonable amount of time
This is bullshit of the highest degree.
There's a thousand ways to reward players who don't have alot of time without asking them to pay money.
To justify abusive cash-shop mechanics by delusionally pretending that this is the ONLY WAY to mitigate the issue of older games and less time is just absurdity.
Ever heard of Rested XP? WoW solved this problem 10 years ago. There's a dozen other mechanics in newer games that reward short-term players with boosts so they remain on some level competitive with hardcore players.
I cannot honestly believe you are rationalizing a cash shop for this use.
This is the worst use of cash shop. "Don't want to play the game? Skip it with cash!" That's what iPhone Apps do. That's what South Park criticized that. That's the bottom of the barrel of shitty mechanics, no matter how hard you wish and hope and pray otherwise. Sorry, but "pay to skip the game" is one of the most abusive mechanics in MMO's in history, and that's the goddamn truth.
