    download to claim you play,
    play a god forsaken amount to win,
    pay to cheat legally.

    Would you take something for free, if it is damaged everywhere?
    Well, it's not damaged everywhere. It's funny but that's how open source works: someone creates something, and another person improves/fixes it.

    Open Source? You mean PWI? PWI is closed source. Or did you ever see a bug tracker or a source download? (o_O)

    Course, I'm just giving an example how open source is better than proprietary ;)

    As some would say, this game is "free to play, pay to win".
    Somewhat retired from PWI, now playing Hellgate Global full time

    True, and it's normal. OR, if the people that QQ about cash shopping are sooo clever, I think they should buy the licence, develop the game, get a server to run the game, pay GMs, patch the bugs, create a few events, pay people to answer tickets, etc... and of course, everything for free (no cash shop either) ! Because otherwise it's too easy.
    If anyone does that, I will be happy to drop PWI to join you (as a user of course).
    Until then, if you are not able to do all that for free, stop blaming PWE for trying to make money out of their investment.
    Will you stop vaccinating ? You won't, won't you ? Why ?! Isn't it immoral to make people pay for their health ?!
    Think about it.....
    We live in a capitalist world. Is it good or bad, I don't know nor care. The fact is that we do, so accept the rules and play by it or go live in North Korea and stop envying people that found a way to make money.
