I think MOBAs are more your speed anon.
I know i'm assuming a lot here, but my guess is you stopped playing all of them cause there's shit to do at level 1 at those games aside from leveing. Though i never played BDO so i dunno about that game.
Runescape is the only game i know that you can do a lot at level 1.

>>384033704
By default you could not play a Jedi.
If you found enough ingame collectables, you could unlock a new "force sensitive" character slot.
Your new force sensitive character was not a Jedi either, but could learn to become one if you did a long quest chain it total secrecy, because anyone who caught you attempting it could claim a bounty and you and you've have to start a new character all over again.

NGE said fuck it, everyone gets lightsabers now have fun.

>>
>>384032670
This.
>>
>>384035390
I should also mention that being a Jedi was also illegal. If you ever popped your lightsaber out or used a force power, you automatically aggro'd everyone in the area.
When your Jedi died, he could not revive like a normal character. A force ghost occupied the character slot and remained until you deleted the character to free the slot up for a new force-sensitive (still not a Jedi) character.

What are you looking for out of them?

I just started playing BDO and after about 6 hours I'm pretty hooked still. I really like the mechanical complexity in the combat. The world design is also nice, I'm a lot more interesting in suspending my disbelief in the environment in this game than in a ton of other MMOs even if it shares more or less the same model as any of them.

It's a gear treadmill. You grind current content until you have the best gear then waste time until the new patch and do it all over again.

Albion Online comes out the 19th, it's like a modern runescape with less grind but 100% player interaction.
Also Dofus and Wakfu are cool sandbox mmos that have healthy pve and pvp, specially dofus, but if you don't like grinding then don't bother.

BDO is garbage.

More than half the classes in the game are useless when it comes to the games only relevant aspects (grinding, and large scale pvp), and they prioritize new class release over actual class balance, which means they don't give a fuck. On top of that its just a shit korean sandbox grinder.

FFXIV is fucking stale, and the only thing that it really does is rehash. Nothing has really changed in that game since launch of 2.0, just the same super generic formula over and over again.

>b-b-but muh 3 month update cycle

Who cares when you get the same thing every three months?

Tera is dead.

ESO is fucking garbage, and has been since day one, don't even need to explain why.

And WoW is WoW. You know exactly what you're getting when you play that handholding fest.

There really is no good MMO currently. You're better of waiting a few years and checking out the market again then.

Yeah I know it's the worst part. They finally added a way to skip the shit part.
So I'm guessing as soon as you hit level 30 they lock you out until you sub? There's no playing in sub-30 areas/characters all you like, right?

I have been thinking about getting back into it since my friends play it.

Monster Hunter isnt an mmo but it fills that void

There's no pvp advantage for the sub, it's true that the grind is worse without it thou.
I see you are a FFXIV guy, but you have to admit the game is been exactly the same since ARR. A reword of the mechanics/content will be much apreciated, but it's still fun.
>>384040829
Is great again now anon, the server mergers or Mayreally did a lot of work. The prices are just and the comunity is bigger than ever, the alliance wars are just like the good old times of freeing the cells in Bonta/Brakmar, if not even better.

BDO is great but not if you are into more themepark, gear treadmill ones like WoW or FFXIV. Many people complain about the grind in BDO but it's because they are playing it wrong, since there's a shitload of other activities (Life Skills) to do other than just hunt mobs.

It's also buy to play, pay once and play forever at your own pace, no need to be a slave to sub time like in other MMOs.

Trion destroyed it, by having shitty servers, not stopping the p2w shit that was coming from Korea, lying about everything, the community managers are ATROCIOUS and the worse fucking thing is how they didn't control the alt shit. The best way to make money in that game is doing trade runs with 5-6 alts at the same time (Paying for patron in each of those 5-6 accounts of course), which drives the economy to complete shit if you are not doing the same and it's just unfun.
I will come back if in the future fresh start servers they destroyed the cash shop AND stopped letting people play with more than 1 account in the same time.
Everything else is perfect, except for balance I guess, it's the dream game that I always had ruined by greedy retards.

They updated that model a month later in release.
>>
>>384041642

Not true at all, you can craft lots of outfits and not spend a cent on the cash shop. BDO only starts getting expensive if you are trying to be the best of the best in PVP or simply just rush your way to lvl 60, otherwise it's a pretty cheap and chill game.

Not irrelevant when it's as enjoyable as it is to control your character. It's so much better than almost any other MMO's combat. Plus there's PVP so you're wrong there.

>All boring.
Yeah, like that's a surprise in an MMO.

>Decided by gear, not player skill.

There will never be a legit MMO again. The reason why WoW was such a success is that it came out at precisely the right point in time when everybody was getting broadband and a reasonably performant desktop PC.

This is what gets me.

In the daily BDO advertising threads the shills are always gushing over end game guild PvP. But it's an unbalanced shitshow with witches and wizards sitting pretty at the top and the devs refuse to nerf them for over a year now.

If you can find others to play with, then it's good.

The controls are fine and everything, but there's no real reason to keep playing after a while. I mean, I never felt like I was really progressing; enemies scaled with gun damage, and unless you PVP a lot, enemies are either complete push overs, impossible, or you can just cheese them nonstop.

eso's high level gear is more focused around getting set items usually in sets of 5 pieces.
for example a simple crafted set might give you raw stats while another set from a dungeon will give you a chance to proc a meteor to fall from the sky and hit a target you have a dot on.
Some even spawn pets for you.
Gear is also not about finding gold level items its about finding the set item in a nice trait then upgrading it to gold with an item ingame that you can farm for or buy from other players stores.
Late game eso is all about making a build using the sets ingame to fit your playstyle or achieve what you want. Some players go for raw stats to outgun others while healers might go for utility sets. Then when you have a decent build you can do the lategame hard mode pve shit to get the even rarer sets that may or may not work for a different type of build.

There is non. You can go and do whatever the fuck you want as soon as you're done with the tutorial. The "endgame" is simply the normal content but harder and with a few extra rewards attached to it.

Having the freedom to do whatever content you want whenever you want simply doesn't work in an MMO.

He also makes a "Why did I quit WowW?" video EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Also his opinions are just uninformed. He also lies a lot, specially in terms of how much silver/xp is to loable to get in BDO, specially if you are not a nolifer.

Well I mean what do they have high level players do with their time? Is it a kinda thing where you try to accumulate personal wealth, guild v guild competition over land/territory, or are you still raiding for upgrades but they're not random 1% drops/completing 1000 dungeons to level your item up?

>>384044586

who knows? they might spend that time working on their life skills, there's more than just PVP in this game and to be honest, it's very draining trying to be the best out there, that's why so many people get burned out of this game and hate it.

BDO is best appreciated when you take it easy, go kill some mobs and focus on a single life skill at a time, otherwise it can be a very tiresome game, but very fun if you are a casual player.

He praises the shit out of chink mmos/kickstarter mmos when they're actually boring as fuck. And then months (if not weeks) later he releases a video saying he's quitting that mmo because it let him down but "its still totally good". As he moves onto another MMO for views.

the game is only playable at endgame once you have 12 characters to at least 120 and preferably 200, for linkskills and cards and shit, until then you are underpowered as all fuck, and that's just the starting point, then the grind for gear begins

>>384045895
First of all let's start by saying that the developers are terrified of bots.
Because of that there's not trading (Yes, there's no trading in a sandbox MMO, let that sink) and everything you want to buy is by the auction house.
Bidding is no real bidding, is like "a buy now" button, but in pearl items (The cash shop items, mainly pets, costumes and the premium sub) there are a lot of people pressing that button at the same time, so the game takes a random winner.
You can place preorders in non-pearl items, in which the game tells you a price to preorder at minimum, and when the item goes into the market, the one with the highest preorder gets it.
You cannot play the AH game either, since prices are partially controlled by the game itself, but don't quote me on that because I never understood it perfectly when I used to play.

Item gets registered on the marketboard which gives a serverwide notification depending on rarity. After the notification you need to wait roughly 15mins until it actually appears on the marketboard. The item will habe 2 phases, the first phase is the bidding phase that anyone can bid on, its basically a lottery that gives you the chance to buy said item if you get drawn.

If no one buys said item it can be purchased by anyone, the reason for this system was because russians used market place bits and sniped literally every single rare item. It was next to inposdible to get it yourself unless you botted too.

>>384045389
Without a sub you can expand your inventory quite a bit using gold. and Im pretty sure you can make 8 characters right away if you really want mules
The craft bag is pretty nice but most people will craft stuff for you if you ask so you dont need to be a crafter plus most shit can be purchased with gold when you need it.
So without a sub you just have to resist the urge to pick up everything unless its to sell it or use it.
Also you can find the base game on sale for cheap if you look at the right time and the expansions really arent needed right away. The DLC dungeons and pvp shit is more for high level characters so you can choose to pay for those later if you want. Getting the base game should be enough to test the waters to see if you really wanna invest time and money into the game. I gotta warn you tho early game can be confusing and rough but Id say get a character to atleast 30 or so before you decide if you are gonna stay.

Dungeons are barely a thing anymore (but you'll still find zerkers running it for god knows why). In fractals you get away with playing whatever you want pretty much except at the highest levels. In raids zerkers is commonly used, but so is Viper's, Sinister.
It's still the most common gearset.

For amulet, it's best to just get that from the Laurel vendor (can get it cheaper if you use WvW badges).
Rings drop often in fractals.
Accessories/backpiece = achievements.
The rest = 50+ fractal levels. They added new fractal achievements so daily you can get some chests which have reasonable ascended drop rates. In like a week of doing the dailies, someone in my guild got a whole set.
Over time doing fractals you accumulate fractal pages, fractal relics, and general materials allowing you to craft grandmaster marks which you can trade with a vendor in the new fractal lobby for ascended shit.

Also they added a way to switch ascended gear stats which means that useless ascended drop you got can now be turned into a zerker set or whatever you like.

warframe is a game that will never really be good because of all the baggage it has. The dev needs to wipe shit clean and start over but they're not going to do it because people have grinded so much for their shit. They've tried some overhauls but still held back by trying to retrofit everything onto whatever new shit their down.

They merged all the international servers in one, and for example the spanic servers they merged everything in two. Dunno about the other languages.
It's not better, but it's not as abysmall as vanilla wow -> legion for example.
Open world pvp is not as active as 1.29 for example, Bonta and Brakmar are not the main reasons to do pvp now.

The group pvp now is done by Alliance vs Alliance, which are just a collection of guilds. You fight resources and territories like in the old prism system. Also 3v3 arenas are fun.

Pve is neat thou, there's more content than ever but it's a little more easy than before, but still is quite challenging.

About the lore, it's like >>384048810 says, but you still have a lot of different character stories ingame and a lot of lore.

That side content will keep you entertained for a few days max. You can't buy houses on large server without buying gil or becoming an autistic omni-crafter. There's literally no real reason to play the game outside of raiding and dungeons.

there's crafting but more than half of it is useless as dungeons gear is better than crafted, but you need food and pots for progression but you can buy it from the market board as you don't need money for anything else

It wasn't fancy cgi, it was just a game model with better textures and lighting. People liked to point out that why couldn't they just use the same model since the tagline for those trailers was 'made with the game engine' or something.

I have some ideas for the perfect mmo.

1.) As degenerate as it may sound and become as a result, I think making it like Second Life would be a good basis. A world full of user created content and unlimited customization options. even if it means the world is likely to be swarmed by furries and bronies

2.) Now this is where it gets tricky, I think the WoW formula that all mmos have copied since WoW is stale and something completely new and original must rise up. Again, like SL, I think it should be a game that people can choose to play however they want, but I do believe that there must be core gameplay mechanics to it, stats you earn that you use to specialize in the aspect of the game that you want to play. It shouldn't be so totally open-ended like SL where people have to create the gameplay mechanics, the devs should be creating solid playing experiences and the users just supplement it.

I don't know every nuance of how it would work, but that's the type of mmo I want to play.

Same as me OP, I used to play WoW and Black Desert and FFXIV and in the end they are all the same: without group of GOOD friends they are not very good in the end. They all offer the same watered down experience which is made to appeal to every kind of people, to the lowest common nominator.

I used to spend lot of money for these but eventually you will realize you are better of to get experiences by playing 'real' vidya. There are countless of good games around and you'll actually finish those unlike the money draining MMOs. If you want to socialize on top of playing normal games just go on discord or hang out on /vg/ or something. Life is more satisfying when playing normal vidya. Emulation is damn awesome. Just launch PCSX2 and play Persona 4 for example. Or Metal Gear Solid 3... Old DOS rpgs are awesome as well, play Lands of Lore or Baldur's Gate 2... You get the idea.

STOP playing MMOs they do nothing else but drain your money and time. You don't accomplish anything in the end.

"Dofus 3" isn't the name of the game, it's a code name until the official release
Free to play (will probably have a shop)
Dofus and Wakfu will keep being online, Dofus3 is a brand new game, not a new version of dofus or wakfu
They want Dofus3 to be a "e-sport" game
The game will be cross-platform
The battle maps won't be still, they'll be like in wakfu, meaning they'll change in function of where the character starting the battle is
The size of the character and the grid seems to vary on the pictures of the alpha
More personalization, hats and cloaks will still be visible
There's 6final boss, maybe one per dofus
There will be "havre-dimensions" who will work like the haven bag in wakfu
More elements
Map will be smaller but more diversified
Dungeons will adapt in function of your level and group, with short and long dungeons
Possibility to play two character on the same account at the same time
You'll be able to get workers to go collect items for you, but you'll still be able to collect them yourself, but the crafting will be different than in wakfu and dofus
Finally the game seems ot be planned for end 2017 but it'll probably end up with something like end 2018 early 2019

FFXIV is a free trial until level 35.
So you can level classes to your Job and try out your Job class for a bit in some of the Duty Trials.

Slow as fuck as first though, but it's one of those things that you need to get into to keep playing. Story is pretty cool, especially with expansions and the class/job quest stories have their own little quirks too. Music is great, graphics are pretty nice depending on setup, yadda yadda yadda.

Grinding is a fucking pain though, so have fun levelling. Or get some friends and run dungeons and fates together.

Also if you do enjoy it and want to continue playing, Entry level subscription or get a time card. However >>384039863 is right with the generic formula of repeat same content, but most of this shit happens later on when you hit the major levels like 50/60/70. Just keep in mind that you're going to have to grind to get to places and that it will get boring once you do it too much.

You get double exp until 60 on the new servers.

>>384055871
Well, once you hit level 50 you got anywhere from 10-20 hours of fetch quests ahead of you before you hit HW and I literally mean fetch quests. More "go to point A then B then back to A" type of shit. You also have to grind a level or two since there's none at level 48 or something. It's pure cancer. Unless you're willing to spent moneys on a jump potions I really hope you enjoy terrible writing, cutscenes, animations, and quests. Ravana was cool though.

You forgot to mention that hackers were all over the land market. There were reports of land being bought that was going on sale before the time was even up, or at least faster than anyone could reasonably click to buy. People would own like 20 plots of land and just auction that shit off at ridiculous prices only they could afford because they had all the land. They should have limited it. And this is coming from someone who was able go get a house, small and large farm, and a townhouse down. So I wasn't left with nothing.

I feel you though anon. Archeage is the best mmo I have ever played, and what happened to it is one of the biggest tragedies in gaming IMO I miss hunting for massive illegal farms with my guild, making music, doing trade runs through PvP zones, sailing around on my own ship. And fucking paragliders were the best transportation method any mmo will ever have

Pay to not grind used to be p2w. It wasn't until retarded whales came along and went "LMAO NO IT'S NOT" that it became a different thing. You can pay 25 dollars to skip approximately 120-150 hours worth of grind which would take someone about 1-2 months to do normally without no-lifing it and playing every day. Pay another 25 and save the time it would take you to hit 60 which depends on the role and class.

>>384058021
You're wrong though. I'm >>384054705 and I've never touch BDO because I know it's some bullshit. I'm pretty sure bypassing 120-200 hours of grind is an advantage over those that didn't but what do I know.

I have an idea for an MMO. It works basically as a massively co-operative game with a frontier mechanic.

>The game takes place in a massive underground cave system. All players start at the entrance.
>There is a small outpost at the start which the players control and must defend from the AI. Failing to do so means server wipe and start over.
>The AI spawns emergent threats from "wild" areas of the cave system that make their way about the underground and towards the outpost at the start.
>The aim of the players is to find the portal at the very deepest part of the caverns from whence the greatest threats spawn.
>The closer they get to the portal the tougher the monsters being spawned become.
>The players can capture outposts / forts / mines / resource points etc along the way that will help them but must also be defended from monsters.

The idea is to create an evolving frontline that pushes deeper and deeper into the cave system towards the portal. The whole effort of the server goes towards this by providing support from the rear. The top players will earn their fame by pushing the frontline and conquering new areas, and the newer players will support them by defending captured outposts / dealing with smaller threats.

There will be no save the world quests that have been done exactly the same by the previous 10,000 players. Instead a quest might be to retake the Blackrock Mines which have been overrun by goblins. Once done the mines can provide ore for forging weapons. Those weapons can then be delivered to the frontline to help push the fight further. Newer players can mine there, while veteran players can defend the mines lest the goblins return and retake it.

Everything will have a purpose and will have a tangible effect on the world. Everything players do will matter. When a great demon spawns and threatens the existence of the entire server it will be real and whoever slays it will have their name remembered in the histories.

Would you play it /v/?
>>
So what do you do in Blade and Soul? Is it just a online singleplayer quest grind with arena PvP?
>>
>>384059134
>Tell me how saving over a month or two worth of time on not grinding isn't an advantage?
I don't play FF14 (tried the demo, was okay) but if this is just leveling then who cares?

Now if it's an endgame gear related thing, like say in Dragon Nest where you need to buy cash shop shit or else risk having your endgame items break on trying to level them up, that's different.

Ive been in the same boat as you Anon for a looong time. TERA + BDO are too gooky. WoW is loltier. The only game I've been playing for 2 yrs+ so far has been the Warhammer online private server. If those faggots at EA/Mythic made it fully F2P it would still be alive atm.

Sadly the warhammer private server is dying, otherwise I would recommend it, in the past few months theyve done A LOT of bug fixes and added shit, but its EU dominated so past 6 pm EST theres less than 200 online.

IMO if you wanna lose your life, then look up one of the WoW private servers that are closest to the real thing. I have a friend whos been playing nonstop for 2 months.

I said it before, have 2 players start at level 1 and give one of them level and quest skips and have them play for a month. If they had different progress despite being equally skilled and playing for the same amount of time then it's p2w. The only time this advantage disappears is when the person who had the skip potions either hits gated content which allows the other person to catch up or the person runs out of content to do. That's a tangible effect and just because it isn't as obvious as being able to buy a better weapon doesn't mean it's not p2w.

I swear, you corporate apologist will take dicks up the ass if it was from SE.

If you're an autistic retard who considers obsessively collecting all the costumes "winning" then sure.

There are level skip potions sure, but they only take you to the start of the current expansion, they give you no advantage over other players and only a retard would buy them.

??

>>384060674
They'll be at the same point because of the reasons I mentioned. The person with the advantage will either run out of content to do or hit gated content that'll allow the other person to catch up. Just because they can reach the same place doesn't mean it's not p2w. p2w means anything that gives one person an advantage over another by paying money. The advantage doesn't have to be permanent. Being able to buy 2x drops is p2w as the person who buys them will always have an advantage over those who don't. You guys really bought into this "p2notgrind" bullshit.

There's an ancient crafting MMO still running somewhere.

What's this >>384060229 then?
>>
>>384061048
what is the gameplay advantage?

if the non payer plays enough he will have the exact same power as the payer

pay to win is when you pay to become stronger then the non payer can ever become

stop confusing pay to grind and pay to win
>>
>>384061392
completing game content sooner than someone who didn't pay
pay to win
>>
>>384061376
Okay... so he "wins" for one expansion then both players get on the same level, just one with no money spent on the cash shop.

What's the problem?
>>
>>384060754
Be warned, Fishing Planet is well known for being extremely pay2win and nickle & dime heavy. It rivals eastern "f2p" mmos for jewishness.

>paying for a gameplay advantage isn't pay to win

Yes because I forgot the part how jumping to 50 instantly makes you good at your job, and you completely understand mechanics you would have normally encountered in leveling but don't because you skipped base game story.

Yes, that's a real "advantage" you got there.
>>
>>384061364
That sounds kinda cool actually. Remember the name?
>>
>>384061071
>This timeline?
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
>>
>>384061364
What's the name?
>>
>>384061502
because if the guy who paid to skip to a later level isn't brain dead he will always be at an advantage to the guy who didn't pay due to having access to higher level content much longer.
>>
>>384061383
A discounted price for new players because if you've played ARR from the beginning HW and SB would have cost you 40 dollars per plus the price of the base game which was more than 20 dollars on release. So yes, the other anon is right unless you just get the game now. Pro-tip: Most players have been playing since ARR or at least HW so if HW + base game was 60 dollars and SB is 40 then that's still 100 dollars. Go fuck yourself

I feel like the only reason FFXIV has good optimization is because each of the zones are small as hell which makes it easy on the CPU, which is usually raped by MMOs
>>
>>384061698
>who didn't pay due to having access to higher level content much longer.
You don't even play FFXIV, do you? It's designed so you beat an expansion then you're done. You take a break until the next one comes out and everyone is on the same level provided they finished the previous expansion.

This isn't BDO where the guy who plays 24/7 will always be better than the guy who plays casually.
>>
>>384061493
thats literally pay to grind.

>>384032270
Maybe you just don't like MMOs. Find a new genre.

Then how much was WoW and each expansion if you were playing since Vanilla/BC/WotLK?

You do not get to make up new definitions for established terms you fucking autist.

Pay-to-*WIN*, as should be fucking self explanatory, means paying to get an unfair advantage that lets you *WIN* against other players. In an MMO, this would mean having better gear than other players, higher DPS, exclusive abilities that are better than non-payer abilities, or similar. The definition of winning may be vague, but in NO circumstances does winning mean "reaching the max level", which is the only thing the skip potions lets you do faster - but not faster than someone who was already playing the game before the new expansion. You are not paying to win, you are paying to have an EVEN FIELD with pre-exiting players.

Now shut the fuck up.

Yeah, the GMs are total fucking faggots. They run shit their way and if anyone even dares critique something, they get banned. Honestly, the game doesn't have much to it, they could do something by having bigger events, adding more quests, but nothing is being done.

I personally love the aesthetic of the game, I have 6+ rank 40 characters, the game is fun with friends but the playerpool is so small now you can't even play casually. Trying to do RvR is a nightmare without a balanced group. It really doesn't help that the GMs are faggy and prissy.

Some GM got a bitch's nudes for a name change. Then when the bitch told some dude what she did to get a name change and questioned the GM, the GM banned him and destroyed all threads on it. Some other faggy shit was a friend of the GMs was streaming and some enemy guild killed him and started jumping on his corpse, they all got banned, so the whole guld paid to DDOS the server for a month+ lol.

Want to try FFXIV but have little to no tolerance in ever waiting in queue times and shit.

What jobs should I go? And what server / world?
>>
>>384034181
Not quite right. Also the method was absolutely broken at launch. Then they tried to lie and say it was just super secret. Then they (sort of) fixed and revealed that it was about mastering character classes, and completely random ones at that. Also Jedi were (for better or worse) completely assraped by any bounty hunter.

Still an interesting game, albeit horribly, unforgivably buggy to the point where falling through the world and needing a GM to respawn you in a legitimate location was common. Common to the point where the first time I played it happened twice in the same day.
>>
>>384062423
Healers and Tanks have almost no queue times.
DPS generally wait 15-30+ minutes
>>
>>384062102
Exactly. That's the point I'm trying to make with these retards that are going "BUT IT'S NOT 100 DOLLARS IF YOU BUY EVERYTHING TOGETHER!!!!!"

>>384062042
Probably way too much. Easily within the 200 dollar range if you bought everything at full price but it was probably more. It has 6 expansions after all. No idea why you brought up wow.

>>384062175
Nah, fuck off. p2w used to include jump potions and double drop shit. It's a recent change in definition where p2notgrind became a separate thing from it. Your argument falls off when you compare the effects of these potions with another new player and you notice an actual difference. Of course if you compare them to someone who's already at the end game you won't see a fucking different you disingenuous cuck. Fuck off apologist

>>384059937
There's a Shelter game where you just wander around forests and /emote as animals.

>>384061915
I remember that game. Too bad its completely sub based and therefor I cannot play it.
>>
>>384062175
If it's not p2w why can you buy level boosts in the cash shop?

It's free for a day.

That's good but ticks are still disgusting enough to warrant genocide.

How old are you? Because the term predates jump potions and increased drop rates.

I like healbotting, are there any particular weak healers I should avoid?

And is there any kind of way to setup it up like Grid from WoW.
>>

because thats pay to grind

>>384062721
Can't genocide a species without having serious consequences to the cycle of life, same reason why haven't genocided mosquitoes.
>>
>>384062624
I brought up WoW because of the "$100+sub shitposting". I could've brought up GW2 too but that was a B2P game.

p2w got big with mobile games that were technically playable without paying but were padded out to encourage paying for skips
kind of like ffxiv

But it's existed before then. Games like S4League were considered p2w due to the nature of the weapon systems.

not hopeful about this at all even though the lore and art is great.

>>384062720
Its more that I refuse to support the bad practice of sub fees. Server costs stopped being an excuse 15 fucking years ago.
>>
>>384063785
I can't play a game if it has a sub fee, especially when they double dip and have a cash shop. It's fucking jewness to the max and it leads down a slippery slope all the fucking time. Just look at Runescape. It's never "just cosmetics"
>>
>>384063785
Sub fees are probably the only thing that's kept this niche game alive for 20 years, considering there's no combat to P2W through.
>>
>>384063541
but dofus was great.

what are you referencing ?
>>
>>384064052
I feel the same way. The best system is to be b2play where you pay a box price for the game, and have frequent expansions. No cash shop, no sub fee, no 'premium' status or whatever the fuck.

Too bad it almost never happens since it puts the consumer first and doesn't maximize jew profits.
