Incoming [quote]oh you have to pay to win in Warframe! No thanks![/quote] from all the Mastery Rank 1s...or maybe people who use the ole "appeal to popularity" without actually supporting said claim with facts or anecdotal evidence... I'll do it for them. [quote]You have to pay [b][i]REAL[/i][/b] money for all the weapons!!!![/quote] Yeah. Not true. Really. The only weapons that can be bought with real money are in prime packs and market weapons. Prime packs are overpriced(except the accessories pack) and the market weapons can be built with seriously no effort involved. [quote]That guy bought a weapon, that means he's stronger than me!!! PAY TO WIN!!![/quote] Again, false. All weapons can be acquired for free. So he's at no "advantage" to you(especially considering this is a [b][i]co-op[/i][/b] game...). You also have to remember acquiring a weapon is not the end of it. Mods are required for everything. Without them, no matter how much money you drop on that weapon, it'll be worthless. [quote]I have to spend REAL money in a FREE TO PLAY? PAY TO WIN!!![/quote] Lol. No. Platinum(in game equivalent to silver) can, unlike most f2p, be traded amongst players. This creates an in-game economy, thus increasing the depth of Warframe. You can farm items for free. Didn't get the piece you want? Trade/sell the pieces you got so you can acquire the piece you want. If you understand supply/demand and have any common knowledge about rarity tiers in Warframe, this should be a simple task. Literally the [b][i][u]only[/u][/i][/b] things that can't be acquired for free are cosmetics...but then again, with a trading system, it might as well be free. Fact is, most people yelling "pay to win" have very little experience with the game, and should thus educate themselves before spreading their nonsense. I for one, have never dropped a dime, yet I have over 1,100 hours and *gasp* have progressed very far within the game! *whoa!* [spoiler]most people will say I've only progressed because I have 1,100 hours in the game. Quite the contrary. Surprisingly, I have 1,100 hours because I enjoy the goddamn game.[/spoiler] There's a difference between an opinion, and an educated opinion. Not saying you have to like it, just saying that if your only gripe is that it's pay to win, that's a false claim.
