![]() It's never pay to go faster, it's always pay not to go slow, and you have to be extremely naive to think otherwise. So no, it has a huge impact on you, whether you pay or not. The fact that you don't care that the game is a daily slog fest does, does not change the fact that the game is a daily slog fest - the problem doesn't go away if you don't mind it. They intentionally created the problem and are selling you the solution. Everyone is quite literally slowed down so they have a reason to use the cash shop - if it wasn't the case, no one would be using the cash shop. The entire game is designed to frustrate you with time gates, dailies, RNG crafting and monotonous grinds just so you're incentivized to use the cash shop. This is objectively false, and it's funny how the devs duped people into thinking this. P2W in Lost Ark is there, but it has practically zero impact on anyone else’s gameplay and it’s so financially challenging to do it You can't tell me that guy spent it all on "cosmetics' and not P2W shit. I mean there are Korean players that have spent HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars (you are not reading that wrong) on the game. ![]() LA definitely takes advantage of people and is a P2W game regardless of what the fan bois say. I have a friend with a gambling addiction who has already spent over 2 grand on the game. And it's all gacha randomness.Īll in all you can swipe for some MAJOR advantage, which sure, you can eventually get to F2P in "some" capacity (I'd argue you'll never reach the top as F2P ever). Gems/Gear upgrades? Grinds and spend wisely or swipe. Social stats to rapport NPCs for skill points and other items? Swipe or spend a year of daily grinding. Card system that can get you 20% extra DPS? Swipe for the best card packs (like a metric shit ton of swipes). That is either real world money or grind time out of my pocket.ĮVERY system in the game is monotonized meaning you can swipe for advantage. It's so confusing that I even accidently spent my freemium currency to teleport because I didn't know what is what. They have 4 main currencies that can be converted into each other just to add confusion into what is P2W and what isn't. ![]() The game is designed to be as confusing as possible to get your money. The devs even recently admitted the game is P2W heavy (and to their credit said they are working on it). literally a year later of daily grinding or you can swipe $10 here or $20 here to boost progression.Īnyone claiming "you don't have to swipe in Lost Ark" is straight up delusional. Sure you can F2P your social stats and get the same stuff as paid players. Social stats are hidden behind paywalls and what are social stats good for? Getting MANDATORY skill points for PVE. P2W players can spend a fuck ton of money to bypass that and have multiple main characters. There is a literal point of no return for F2P players where you HAVE to choose a main character and funnel materials from alts to the main. Let's not forget gems that can give you a major advantage. LA fan bois are going to me and say it's not necessary and you'll catch up eventually in F2P but YOU CAN STILL SWIPE FOR ADVANTAGE that will get you months ahead of people. You can literally gamble for gear upgrades that you can pay money for. Sorry for replying to you but your post really struck me since you neither played Lost Ark and said it isn't a "true P2W" game like Archeage (whatever that means).
