Nice join date, I too am a millionaire doctor who keeps 10/10 bunnies for friends. I impress them with the gear my characters have, they think I am silly but the money makes up for it.

I apologize if I somehow upset you. I was simply trying to point out that the purchase of "pixels" for some is indeed fun. I don't have the amount of free-time it would require to obtain many hard to acquire in-game items and things like Krono's allow me to have the ability to obtain these accordingly. I would bet that while there are many who make the game toxic by purchasing items in these games to "flex" there are just as many like myself who just enjoy a casual experience and making the most of their entertainment time. If I can simply spend 5% of a month's income to purchase items which would be unattainable and increase my happiness while playing I find than satisfying for my personal experience.

I used to think like this as well. Speaking from experience and having invested over $1000 invested in PlanetSide 2, I would suggest to you that buying in-game items for real money only provides temporary satiety over your pixel lust. It's really just a hollow substitute for actual gameplay, which is WHY you're lusting in the first place.

I would posit that you basically had to spend money in Planetside 2 to have anywhere close to an enjoyable experience lol

SOE seriously ruined Planetside with that game. Too much crazy gear making the gap between a new character and an experienced player way too high. Gameplay was also way more twitch than Planetside 1. I miss the original. If Planetside 1 still existed I would play it daily.

TMO days Green Scale RMTd for 2k easy. people were Ballin back then Lol

Kronos are ridiculously easy to obtain on tlp launches... can make 100s before velious is out playing semi casually (8 hour full time job and adulting chores between play)

[Evets]

Bet then again same can be said with p99 plat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You dont have to buy kronos and have the best gear on day one of a TLP drp, but alot of people who prefer the live servers tend to go that route. Spending their own money on a hobby that they enjoy. What a bunch of assholes right.

absolutely.

If this was 2000 and we were talking about an Ebay character for laughs.. thats one thing. But today with lootboxes, MTX etc all around I have to draw a line from where I judge.

Hard pass on them, hard pass on that.

This is a good point. Every online game out there now having a ton of options for people to pay RL money in exchange for game rewards in a perfectly legit way makes coming to P99 to RMT against the rules that much worse. It's getting harder and harder to find any online game not totally corrupted by it.
