It shouldn't be in at launch for obvious reasons.

But later down the line, would you be against the cash shop offering players faster XP gains over free players?

Why or why not?

Re: Are you against the cash shop offering faster XP gains?


Is there a Max level?



From what it seems XP just means that you can unlock more stuff...so u can unlock everything I guess.....that doesn't mean you will be good at using them...it just means you have more options of using more stuff.

I rather have a dedicated pilot than some guy who paid to get everything unlock by faster xp gains.

Do the math. Supposedly people who are max level and specced out fully into a role will be at most 20% better than a day-1 newbie, and that might not even be true now. We've heard it takes over a year to fully invest in a single vehicle.

Put those two things together and how much of an advantage is someone going to get with a week-long or month-long XP boost? It'll be negligible.

It's probably the number 1 money item for SoE. Besides, it won't change much.

Honestly my knee jerk reaction was that I hated the idea because I've seen it be the base money making system in many other F2P games and therefor freebies have an extremely hard time leveling, but I think that premium members and a hoard of other cash shop items will make the need to necessitate cash bought XP boosters in order to level up at a balanced rate very small.

Use World of Tanks as an example. They offer a +50% XP bonus for a membership. Even with that +50% xp bonus its still has taken me almost a year to actually hit max level in that game, and I am still a few good months out from having my top tank.


It will be fine. Its not game breaking.

Don't really mind it. Depending on the cost I could see myself potentially buying one.

League of legends has it, never noticed it. and level really can matter in that game early on, since the difference between lvel 30 and level 1 in runes was huge.

It's totally fine. As someone else said: use WoT as an example. It is a convenience thing and one of if not the reason to get a premium account. It does not affect combat itself directly as it only shortens the time to level.

Its fine. I don't care if you level up faster than me (or anyone) I only care that I progress at a interesting rate.

Totaly not the same but I quit SWTOR before my storys ended because the side quests were so boring that the grind became too much for me. I just want the game to feel good without cash and better with it.
