[QUOTE="Vari3ty"]Oh look, another "grind forever to get anything" game. F2P sucks ass, no interest.

Perhaps you should play it before you pass judgement and b*tch about it?!Every F2P game I've played boils down to two options: either A)Pay to get access to certain weapons/powers etc or B)grind for eternity to unlock one thing. Every time, the paying player has the advantage. Now is it wrong for devs to expect to get paid? No, certainly not. But when you have games that are specifically designed to get players to pay continuous microtransactions to be better than their opponents in battle, it creates an uneven playing field and cheapens the experience.
People point to games like Team Fortress 2 or League of Legends as successes of the F2P model, but those are exceptions, and by no means the standard of what F2P games currently are. And even then, in LoL you still are forced to either grind for hours to unlock new characters or you can make a quick payment to unlock them for you.
I'll happily pay $60, more even, for content in games provided the games are good enough. But F2P is a neverending moneysink that doesn't allow you to pay once to get everything, and that's what I have a problem with.
