quadiak wrote: Anyway, I'm not exactly sure to what you are insinuating about being a f2p veteran, and I imagine many of us have different motives as to why we are f2p. I will tell you straight up that had it not been for the outreagously high in-game-purchase prices, i would not have remained f2p past the release of wolverine patch. It was then that I realized a $20 purchase towards iso-8 would get me nothing more than I could earn in a good afternoon of lightning round farming, even a $100 Iso purchase would not have softcapped patch for me. So using the "penny saved is a penny earned" philosophy I am making money here, unlike the whales who spend a small fortune and only get bragging rights.
