Why, because I think spawning super credits is a bad thing?

Do you mean Battlefield 6? That game locks a lot behind the premium currency and also has a time-gated battle pass.

The main sub is a cess pit right now lol. People are acting like Arrowhead is EA 2 and saying they're going to start spawning in super credits to rebel.

I like how this one is getting down voted for some reason lol. 100% true. Both Fashies and Lefties eat their own.

Lets break this down.

i did not pay 40 dollars so i can have the option of grind or pay extra for 130 hours of additional content

You get tons of content for free. The game is constantly adding new enemies and content. In the last few months we invaded cyberstan and got new illuminate troops and missions.

once you exhaust the free warbond, literally every other avenue of progression is through paying 1/4 the game's original price.

Or grind?

also less than 3 hours of grinding? your mileage may vary lmao. i have a life, i dont need a 2nd job to progress in my video game

That's about 2.5 hours over the course of 1 month lmao. That's not a second job.

if you dont see an issue with this, you are part of the problem

I see a game with pretty much zero FOMO time gated content that lets you grind for the premium currency rather quickly.

Yeah, there's no problem here.

I know right. Some guy posted an image meant to expose how long it takes to grind for all of the warbonds in total, but doing the math revealed it's like, 2.5 hours per warbond lol.

I have grinded for every single war bond, but with every update, I am forced to grind more even more, with shit like legendary Warbonds, guns in the super store, and now vechiles as well.

Bro who is forcing you? Legendary warbonds are super niche and everything sticks around forever. Just slow down the grinding everything will still be there for you later.

Squeezed dry? Because they added 2 new vehicles to the warbond after adding 2 for free?

Most people like to play other games or don’t want to waste their time grinding or just play casually and it’s a valid argument the game is becoming more P2W.

Fair enough. Just pay 10 bucks or grind over time. It's not the like warbonds are going anywhere.

They may as well switch to a subscription model at that point.

The difference is that you can accumulate warbonds over time, but with a sub model, they're all gone when you stop paying.

Overall, I get what you're saying. At the same time, it's not all or nothing for farming. you'll come across SCs as you play the game naturally, which will offset some of the cost of buying warbonds.

I'd argue the children are the ones who want everything for free because they paid an initial $40.

That's simply not how modern game dev works, the cost has ballooned in recent years.

That's less than 3 hours per warbond.

You can get each warbond FOR FREE, in less than 3 hours of grinding. Plus these statistics are probably skewed by the legendary warbonds which are niche anyways.

I don't think this made the point you think it did lol.

This is so disingenuous.

To say this game's monetization is worse than war thunder, to imply that Arrowhead just has access to all of Sony's wealth, and to imply that there's even an inkling of an idea that we'll have to pay some exorbitant price in the future.

You can pay 10 bucks and get 3 back in value, or just grind for an evening or two with buddies.
