    I found this in someone's sig, 100% true imo.

    The game is free, fun, fast. You may pick 2.

    But ... whenever I try picking "free" and "fast", my computer crashes! What is this?

    I would say:
    Free to play, use your brains & time to win, & cash shop if you don't have enough of the previous.

    ^ Love that :p

    For some, this game is free to win as well...

    ^ This is true as well


    You can get anything in this game without spending 1 cent of RL cash...Just how much work are you willing to do? Sadly, most people no longer know what it is like to spend months or longer working on a single piece of gear b:chuckleb:sweat

    Remember, IF you spend RL cash, it is your call...No one says you have too therefore the game is still "Free to Play"...if you want to get technical of course ;)

    Seriously is. And everything in the botique is a lie. People sell them for much cheaper. They really need to update some of the stuff here. And the stuff you get from rewards from bosses and such are so low. And pvp and pve really fails if you dont cashshop. This game is not free. The cake is a lie.

    question is what do you consider too expensive? how much is your time worth? yeah the game is free to play but you have to play smartly, do alot of grinding and take advantage of some of the easy money making ways already mentioned. this game provides you entertainment right? how much do you pay if your were to go to the movies once or twice a month, or some type of sporting event? how much are most pay to play games a month on average? if you spent $50 every 3-4 months would you consider that too expensive? ive bought gold in the past and will probably buy more in the future. i just spend wisely. i only buy when gold is on sale and i dont spend anymore then i would if i was playing a pay to play game. in the current state of this game, leveling up the old way and grinding your gear like it was done before the age of bh's, ff's and packs, takes too long if you plan to PvP at all. i agree theres alot of stuff that has been over looked for updating, but lets face it, with how stuff has been handled in the past, not much will be changed in the future. either adapt and move forward or move on to a different game

    I've never spent a single cent on this game. Though, I did get two $10 cards for my birthday and Christmas, from my cousin. I still never spent anything, nor close to what other people have spent. I'm a happy level 100 cleric in an awesome guild with people who are amazing. The people that play this game as well make up more than 50% of how fun this game is.

    I go TW, TT, FC, Nirvana even, FB/BH, all instances. World Bosses, I don't need to cash shop to have fun. =o

    Guild events, PK, etc, really fun. o.o Nothing preventing me from playing/having fun without csing.

    That player, the first 105 dude, PWI said she/he had never spent anything either. Perfect example right thar. :o

    Here's a quick tip to make "some" money. Although not the best way, does help for anon-cash shopper. Bring a alt to lvl 22-24. Leave it at mines. Log 1-2 hours a day, farm rough fur. Or make him/her lvl 30 and go farm antellopes for hay near silver pool. Feed exp to genis nt to make char level, sell genies..
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    Yes the game is free to play but if u have a life(family.children a job) and don't want to spend all u'r free time in this game and at the same time u still want to stay competitive in TW/PK u NEED to spend money.

    No offense... but if you have a "life" and don't want to spend time or money... why are you playing an mmo?

    Note: this question isnt directed at you specifically, just at your point. The whole point of an mmo is to build up towards something, and usually that takes LOADS of time. Or in the case of some games, such as this, money. If someone isnt willing to put money it, thats more than ok. But if they arent willing to put time in either, and still want to be competitive, then they are playing the wrong genre. Stick to stuff like LoL where you can play competitively and evenly, no matter how much time or money you devote.

    you know... every time i see one of these threads i never see any mention about the offers page. theres a metric ****ton of quizes to do and there all free. i suggest making a dummy email account because once your done with a quiz it will spam you 10-20 times a day. ive made and sold at least 100gold. all of it free. some of those have big payoffs by just giving your info about your car/cars, and waiting for a phone call. hes/she will call one of us to the room. i could go on and on and on but i think you get the picture

    It's really not that hard to make money in this game once you get the hang of it but you need a lot of patience for it to either save up & start merching or farm a lot once you have a aps char(or more).

    Too bad you have to invest a lot of time in PvE/making money for such little PvP,as the end-game PvE is pretty easy and doesn't require all the OP gears ppl have.But if you actually enjoy the gearing up/money making process it should work out for you.
    It's all about LoL,yo.

    Okay all you tards listen. Okay lets say 1mil coins is 1 gold= is 1 dollar. Because of the AH fee anyway. And when there is no packs sale usually. Gold is 900k average.

    To max your skills Cost atleast 55mil, that excluding the 80 mil level 100 skill. So thats 150m average for skills.

    Then Your TT90 or TT99s which require 5 aps, will cost more than 100mil. And the Lunar 5 aps weapon is 40m+ and you need to refine it so put 20m+ on that. Then You will need HP ofcourse so you have to refine all your gears and shard it. Then you have a buy 5 dollar mounts and 10 dollar flyers. Oh and rank 8 is about average now, not end game. 72 dollars lol. The sad part is that all this about 200-300 dollars i dont know didnt calculate is not even PVP worthy. You will get owned by +10-12 people who spent thousand dollars on this game. Especially +10 5 aps class. Oh yeah but you guys say you farm...The only way to farm and make profit is nirvy on double drops and which require a pro APS squad which can do it in about 20minutes. And there is no way to do it in less than 20 minutes without cashshopping in teh first place with +10 5 aps weapon. Hmm and if you consider BH farming its freakin poorly rewarded,takes atleast 40minutes-1.5hours to do because of all the slow people forming the squad and takes forever to get everyone there. Then all the potions used. And the Rewards is mostly chips,US..Exp. Very rare rewards are 2mil coins and mirages worth about 700k. Thats it. All the time of work and you will earn on average 400k i think. Thats .40 cents in 1hour average time. This game is greed too many tards still stealing their parents credit cards and cash shopping. Seriously i dont know why you people spend over 1000 dollars on this game. I mean some even Spent 10,000 dollars on a single character.

    Oh yeah some Free to play like *Edited*, is 15 dollar a month..but atleast its fair and doesnt scam players like rank 9 medal.. When rank 8 came out, Hercules and pheonix thing. Yeah PWI is too greedy and screws players over too much and still you pay hundreds of dollars. Tards

    Okay all you tards listen.

    People are offering you advice on how to make coin. Furthermore, they stating a fact that you do not need to spend real life money on this game to acquire decent gears. Why are you insulting everyone, in response?

    This does not make them stupid. It simply indicates that some people actually play the game. Farming for gear is an inherent part of many computer games.

    Throwing such inexplicable insults lacks courtesy and elegance. Please refrain from doing so.
