Something to all those who are calling a subscription for pwi

>10 dolrars a week subscription
>10 dolrars a week
>10 dolrars
>a week

What have you been playing that requires 10 dolrars per week to play holy giggity.

Making this game pay to play now would just be the headshot to this game, specially at this point.
It won't happen anyway, so no need to discuss it.

OP failed when they said "all those who are calling a subscription for pwi". It was on offhand remark in a trolling thread.

Seriously?

i'm sorry i have to reply, the stupidity in this post is almost unreal. 90% of all suscription online games cost roughly $80 for 6 months, that means about $160. LMAO

Edit: also i can farm r9 in about 2-3 months without any cash, so that idea of 2.4 years with paying is also stupid.

The game myself and the OP from the other thread mentioned, play at times, the same game as mentioned in that thread (Sir_Rusty and I are RL Brothers), costs at most $15 aust per month if you choose to pay that way, its cheaper for longer periods,
you still cannot buy the best gear in game or even the mats, you must farm for the last levels gears, the rest you can buy, and guess what, most people have no problem with that in that game.

Another nice thing is PvE gear is totally different from PvP gear and requires you to participate in PvE activities to get but is not the best for high level PvP and visa versa, again, something this game could benefit from, I personally think.

Non subs have the ability to reach 50 and unlock in game perks through a legacy system plus buy unlocks through a boutique style shop or auction house to participate in endgame stuff.

For subs its a bit easier as you can go to max level 55 with every thing unlocked np and earn good gear easy to get you ready to do Operations to get the mats needed for the top level gears, the top level
mats are bound, you cannot sell what you get, but if its the wrong stuff you can at least exchange it at an NPC for the correct class gear/mat.

One thing I love is the legacy system in that game and how it encourages making/leveling alts easier, would be a worthwhile addition to this game for sure.

The other game is not Subscription only and that is the trick, making a model that uses both methods and works is not a bad idea, if it could be implemented in a similar manner.

I personally chose subscription even though I could have been F2P if I wanted but I personally found it more fun this way and worth the extra real world cost.

Also it doesn't cost $1250 for r9, not even close. It costs roughly $650 almost half of what you said. Not only is the whole subscription not smart because the pwi model will never change to that because they make more money having it not be a subscription, your math is also horrible.

At $180 for a year of game play in the game I mentioned, and as you quote 2 months to raise a char to end game, I could and have raised
6 chars to full endgame gears at a much lower cost. lol,

With such "brilliant" ideas OP, you should definitely apply to get a position in the marketing team of PWE.

I would happily pay 10/month for a brand new, balanced server with no trace of R9 or powerlevelnig.

Just throwing that out there.

Something else that should be mentioned....

Power-Creep and subscriptions don't play well together. b:chuckle IJS
PWE probably makes more with it F2P than if it were subscription-based. Although the SWTOR model isn't a bad one, it's way too late to introduce something like that here. It would require a whole new server system.

Im guessing this is how PWI will eventually live its final days as a P2P game.

First we have a lot more to come me thinks and a whole new system to explore. So until then...

I think what the OP is trying to say is that if PWI were in fact to become a subscription based game, the company would charge you $10 a week. So PWI being a Free to play, pay to win game is better than having no game to play at all.
