    Kinda think you guys are being a bit ridiculous about paid wins. People who pay for wins are typically encouraged to actually try their best in the fight and not told just to go off and kill themselves. A decent portion of them actually do pretty well in the fights up until they get killed by a mechanic.

    The only real difference between carrying for free and carrying on a paid run is that when you're doing it for free the person you're helping is generally expected to not drag the group down and contribute to the fight's success. In fact a less skilled player probably faces less hostility/frustration from the group if they make a mistake in a paid run because their contribution is more of a bonus.

    Truth, just because someone buys a win doesn't mean they don't know the fight. Titan is an 8 person fight and at the moment you could probably beat it with a minimum of 4 people. What these people pay for is not ALWAYS a carry but 7 other capable individuals which could take a while to find if one does not have experienced friends or FC members. Some people spend over a week looking for that "Perfect" pick up group and most people can make more than what it costs to pay for a titan run in a single day. The obvious option is to save time and pay for assistance instead of relying on the part of the community which refuses to learn the mechanics and blame lag.

    I paid 100k for a Titan carry. I regularly make 200+k a day. And yeah, couldnt find groups of FC-only 8.
