Crab Fear.1624 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I was wondering why is free to play allowed into ranked? I noticed they have so many other limitations across the whole game. Look at PVE, look at WvW and you will see that most of the best functions and activities are gated to upgrading. Then, one of the devs says that conquest is the bread and butter for all of pvp. So, FTP has access to everything to play pvp and learn. Why must they be allowed in ranked? Anything considered prestige and full access should be paid. Make money anet, stop letting trolls and bots ruin your game, literally they are ruining your game. If you want to make money, run your company like a business, and protect the paying customers. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Most of the bots aren't F2P, they're using discount codes that bought the game for ~$10 USD. They've literally given the full Core game away numerous times through promotions, too. Getting a minimum of ten accounts for $100 USD isn't as hard as you might think it is.

I know that in some cases. I remember the twitch heroic edition giveaway. A wild guess is it was spammed to death for the free upgrades. I can only imagine how much it helped gold farmers and mystic coin hoarders. But, still, by definition and understanding, those are "legit" accounts, so I won't complain. They did the or a process needed to upgrade Still, I would like FTP to be subject to that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morwath.9817 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 They should make all e-specs f2p in sPvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalisto.5780 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Bad things f2p can bring to rank wintrade alt acc But again if the devs havent let the game bleed to the point you can q sinq same classes wouldnt almost garantee they get in the same match off hour. F2p acc wouldnt be a problem in this matter Weaker builds Again not exactly f2p issue, they murdered so many core specs in order to nerf elites Trolls Well, again if the report system was any functional we'd not having trolling issues, f2p or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need to buy champions in League of Legends or DoTa? No, and those games still make lots of money. Having fully f2p sPvP could give great influx of new players who could be as well interested in PvE or WvWvW and for that they would need to buy expansions.

Ah yes, the twin games of GW2, LoL and DoTa. Code in binary, played by a keyboard, basicly the same. Great point, now excuse me I need to find something hard&sturdy to smash my head into. PvP players generally do not care about other gamemodes. If all buying EoD would get us is the ability to troll FFA with the siege turtle, I think most of us would pass. I personally bought EoD for the e-specs. That is the only reason. If you think there is a serious PvP to PvE pipeline that could funnel enough funds to offset the existing PvP only players not spending a dime... well, that is an opinion. A different one. Oh I think I got it. My wall is hard&sturdy enough. Now excuse me, I have to make something happen. Edited April 10, 2022 by Bazsi.2734 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
