Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

The Korean versions of Aion and TERA is still P2P, so is Blade and Soul. So that doesn't work considering that they still have cash shops installed so it's actually only the other territories that they are F2P.

Aren't you the same guy who was defending WoW's level booster as healthy? So skipping 90 levels of content by money isn't p2w by your definition but marriage system is?

now you got my attention, care to share the source and why do you think he is the same person ?

Might aswell put coil behind cash shop considering how many people have cleared it or even set foot in it.
Its clearly optional.

Exactly. Everything doable in the game is optional. Why not pay for openeing the Market? Its clearly optional, no?
Tbh im skipping the marriage system most probably. I dont want a half-ass variant, and i cant afford to pay 50 bucks for a ingame Event in a game im allready paying for.

Everything is doable without ninja aswell so you could put that in cash shop aswell.
Its optional.

Diferences:

1.- All those items are MADE FOR the Cash Shop. The other are account optional services, even the booster, which is more decent than anything in FFXIV anyway.
2.- None of those items belong to an in-game experience.
3.- None of those items generate the feeling of "free" vs "premium" experience.

Level booster is far more "healthy" for a game than the marriage fiasco we are seeing.

it's on the same forum, heh.

Ummmm no, no they aren't.
Korean and Japanese versions Tera went F2P before Europe and America's version went F2P soon after.

Blade and Soul is P2P still with a CS, but because china's version is under a different publisher it's F2P.

Want proof before you say "You're wrong!" ?

Look guys, you're welcome to trek to the local watering hole to get some water that is hopefully clean.

Me? I'll just buy some from the shop thank you very much.
