CCP reiterates anti-pay-to-win stance for EVE microtransactions
Apr 4th 2012 3:26PM (Massively)How is it fair when one person has more money to spend ?
CCP reiterates anti-pay-to-win stance for EVE microtransactions
Apr 3rd 2012 5:04PM (Massively)You are correct in pointing out that the currency being purchased thru the Plex exchange was earned legitimately in-game with expended effort.
That is certainly better than a traditional cash shop where the coin and items are added to the environment out of thin air and impact the economy in a negative way.
However it doesn't change the fact that allowing players to purchase unlimited isk is RMT and thus pay to win.

CCP reiterates anti-pay-to-win stance for EVE microtransactions
Apr 3rd 2012 1:09PM (Massively)EvE Online has been a pay to win MMO ever since CCP instituted the in-game exchange of purchased time cards for isk aka coin.
It is intellectually dishonest for anyone to suggest that is not a form of unlimited RMT which obviously benefits those players with deep pockets.
The Daily Grind: What game would you play were it not for the community?
Mar 28th 2012 1:12PM (Massively)When you design a MMO to cater to simplicity and non accountability for poor performance then you will attract people who are simple and feel they can misbehave.

Mar 22nd 2012 3:55PM (Massively)If anything is true about Vanguard players, it is that they do not wish for this.
It is a slap in the face for those who were seeking a traditional earn your way sandbox MMO and were attracted to Vanguard for that reason originally.
The Soapbox: Voice chat is the worst thing ever
Mar 21st 2012 1:14PM (Massively)Exactly. Point, match.
ArenaNet expands on microtransactions in Guild Wars 2
Mar 21st 2012 1:11PM (Massively)I just don't get the mentality of choosing to play a MMO and then buying "time convenience saving items "?
That's like saying I enjoy reading books but I choose to read cliff notes.
The Soapbox: Voice chat is the worst thing ever
Mar 20th 2012 2:08PM (Massively)It completely ruins immersion.
The only way it would be acceptable is if it were offered through the client and voices were masked with a racial character filter.
Also server wide chat in any form should not be allowed in genres where it doesn't make sense such as a fantasy world. In a Sci-Fi setting it would be feasible.
