How much money will you spend in the cashshop?


I was wondering how much money and for what kind of things you guys will spend cash in the shop.

I'm planning to spend 12$ at max a month because i think f2p should be cheaper than a subscription based game.

I would spend money for:

- Some XP/Cert-Point Boosters
- Additional Ressources to get more vecs (if it is necessary)
- Access to Über-weapons and Über-Vecs
- A nice self-designed Outfit-Camo (not these silly camos we saw so far)

Since we haven't seen what will be in the cashshop it is difficult to say what else i would spend money for.

So, what are your thoughts about this issue?

Points 1 and 4 are good.

Point 2 i am a bit unsure about, because it could be bad if not done properly and would reduce effectiveness of capping behind enemy lines and such.

Point 3 i hope never happens, or else it will lead to Pay to Win, which always kills games.

But I would like to see a custom camo option in shops so that you can be even more unique as an outfit.

As mush money I feel the game force me to... Max $100 a month is what my wallet would allow though. Or I have to start to eat out less.

But I would hate the game for every cent it will force me to pay over $15

im going to be on a booster 24/7 365 days
might get some other stuff depending on what they put in (who knows what they will have) but the one thing im NOT interested in is camos or visual upgrades

they will get a ton of money out of me but only for boosters and stuff

edit: no limit on spending for me (within reason)

Aiming for the same amount, bu may differ if i play less in certain months.

- Some XP/Cert-Point Boosters
Will do the same, at some point leveling will get tedious for me, and i dont have more than 1-2 hour per day to play

- Additional Ressources to get more vecs (if it is necessary)
You cant buy resources directly, there is a resource booster but you wont be able to use XP-booster and resource booster at the same time.

- Access to Über-weapons and Über-Vecs
SOE promised so far that there wont be any weapons or vehicles that are exclusive to the cash shop (except different optics)

- A nice self-designed Outfit-Camo (not these silly camos we saw so far)
Definitely! But i will surely try out some of the silly stuff too

A-lot.

Basically gonna buy as much as I see as enough in comparison to my income; I want to give them the money they deserve and should've gotten through monthly payment and get awesome fashionable cosmetics while at it :3

ill likely throw $60 at the game at launch...because it looks like it should be up there like diablo 3, BF3 or those other one time fee online games.

after that, maybe $20-30 a year

Probably close to zero, the only thing i would buy is outfit gear like specific clothes/ look. If i play this game anywhere near enough as the first one , which i plan to all being well, i wont need to worry about buying owt.

If its available I would pay for some certifications. So maybe a total of fifteen us dollars a month.

Will there be some kind of monthly sub thingy (freemium model) ? If so, I'll get that without a doubt.

Otherwise, I'll try to keep my monthly spend at around $15 or so, equivalent to a "standard" MMO sub. May front-load that spending a bit to buy XP boosters initially.

I hope they don't charge too much for weapons, if there £2-3 each I will more than likely buy them all over time; yet If its anything over that I doubt i'll buy more than one or two.

There are no plans to charge anything for weapons.

I've never bought any exp pots, because I am always afraid that it will be a waste of money. So it will probably be the same case here.

Only things I would pay for, are permanent. If thats limited to visuals, then there is a very small chance of me buying anything.

But we will see, maybe this game will blow my socks off and change me.

the camos for customization and MAYBE some cert things or implants or something, but as i said, $60 initially which should last me a while/ get a bunch of things. if it doesnt, it likely wont be worth paying for anything after that lest there are sales.
