Is there a "No bull****" subscription service I could buy into where I just pay them 15 dollars a month to get all the bull**** like the timers, the companion level requiring 1.55 MILLION ****ing astral diamonds to complete instead of just, you know, letting us level the companion by playing the game? I would much rather pay 15 dollars a month than have to deal with the five hundred million annoying little <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ant nags that this company shoves down your throat trying to get you to spend money. I want the game to be FUN not a waiting game, not a grind, not full of more needy begging than dating a overweight teenage girl with self-esteem issues, you want me to spend money, fine, make a no-bull**** program and I'll be the first in line. The fact my first character hit 33 and her companion is stuck at level 15 because she doesn't have 300,000 astral diamonds makes me want to say **** it and give up on this game.
Learn how to design a ****in game and I'll pay you for it, but this is just a bull**** sandwich with a side of picked horse <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. I ain't wasting my time on a game that isn't even playable because you people can't do anything but nag like a passive aggressive, pill-popping, housewife. Wait on this, you need to buy me things, I need you to pay me attention or I'll throw away your stuff, you need to do your daily dungeon but ONLY WHEN I SAY SO!!! Jesus-****ing-Christ your game designers must all be co-dependent abuse victims the way your game begs for attention all the time.
There is, actually. Go to the billing page. Spend $15 on Zen. Use Zen to get an improved companion. Or whatever else you want / need for your character. Maybe turn it into Astral Diamonds, and buy some spiffy new gear. Or a better mount.
For that $15 you spend each month, you get to decide what to unlock, not get told by the game designers what you have unlocked according to their design. Want an epic mount when you hit level 20? You can do that. Fine with a 2g mount? Fine. Don't spend money on it. The choice is yours. Don't complain to the devs that you're unable to spend your money.
Oh - and Dungeon Delves? You can get the bonus chest at any time by buying a key. It was clearly spelled out in the quest text.
Maybe the problem isn't the devs and their design....
Wait...so for the low low price of 15$ per month. You want millions of AD and thousands of Zen in items and services, just given to you. Wow, who wouldn't want that?
Of course, whats stopping someone from paying for a single month, upgrading all their companions. Bypassing potentially hundreds of dollars worth of upgrades. And then canceling their sub?

That $15 won't go very far. Unfortunately a lot of their pricing is way out of whack.
Upgrading companions isn't necessary. The free cleric does a decent job. Stones are then usually used in dungeons for the extra stats and non accidental aggro. The very small minority actually upgrades their companions. Your attitude will get this thread locked though. All of the campaign is easily soloable and as said, pets are often a nuisance in grouped content.
"Spend $15 on Zen." Why? Why should I spend my time buying money and divvying out points to a hundred little annoying **** tasks when they could just charge me automatically and make the game not ****ing annoying? Free to play games are just games that try and annoy you into being willing to pay them money, I'm willing, I just want an option which doesn't turn my game play into a office micro-management simulator. I don't want to play Excell Spread Sheet 2014, I want to blow **** up with my mage. You know, fun. That thing games are suppose to be.
back OT:
Oh look! Another player looking for a p2w game.
-shrugs and walks away-
At least I got here before it got locked.
How is letting me level my companion while I level my character without needing to pay over a million ****ing astral diamonds pay to win?
I'm doing the work of questing and upgrading his items and stuff just like everyone else. I just think it's bull**** that my tank is now useless because of some poorly designed arbitrary money grab. I'm all for games letting you buy stuff to customize your character and all that, if they want it to be free to play and nickle and dime everyone to death then be my ****in guest, but don't do it with **** you need to play the BASIC function of the game. I'm leveling a mage, I need a tank pet to hold things off of me, only now my tank pet dies like a cow in a slaughterhouse and I end up having to wait while my ****ing injury fades off. You shouldn't hold BASIC GAMEPLAY hostage. It's just ****ing poor design. I'm 20 and I've hit this pay wall and I'm not willing to pay it because if it's 20 dollars to get all the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> I need this month, it was 10 dollars last month, what will it be the month after that? I would rather the game charge an even amount every month than it spiking ****ing exponentially and making me do all the work of spending the points on the annoying little bull **** tasks.
For all the complaining about people wanting a subscription model, I'm afraid to say that PWE doesn't do the subscription thing. The ONLY reason that such options exist in STO and CO is for the fulfillment of prior contract obligations to LTS subbers for those games. Cryptic had stated that NW was designed from scratch to be a F2P game, and PWE reaffirmed that in line with their existing business model.
Bottom line: It likely ain't happening because PWE's business model won't permit it.
Anywho, this isn't getting anywhere constructive and the asterisk vomiting certainly isn't helping anyone's cause. Closing this down.

Thank you, that is perhaps one of the nicest thing said to me today.
