It would have to be something amazing to tickle my fancy and sway me into purchasing said item. Hell, even with the PS1 skins I'm still weary of purchasing them based on how much the price may be.

Maybe I'm just stingy with money

Hm, I expect to pay some initial costs of $20 maybe and be done with it for a while... I always like to be a normal grunt in war games. :P

But who knows... maybe they'll offer stuff I long to have when time comes.

Things seem to be going on the right track. If they keep on course and the game is worth supporting, they can even have my underwear... I tend to get carried away when i'm happy.

im pretty stingy with my money normally, but its a game i get enjoyment and entertainment out of it out of it, and while i might spend $50.00 on a game like WOT a month its fair cheaper than if i were to go out, for $50 i could get 1 drink and a cab ride!

i already stocked up some station cash and i don´t play any other soe games, so i will have to buy something ;-)

propably ps1 skins or some other cool custos.
and maybe some early sidegrades for the engineer to start with more diversity for my favorite class.

ooooh and of course a salty nuts hood ornament or dashboard statuette would be my first buy!

Game is F2P, imho it's fantastic that companies have started doing this because it effectively translates to a 'try before you buy' method.

This means that, if I love it, I would feel bad if I didn't spend as much money supporting the devs as I would buying a PC-game for the standard price, and therefore if I do enjoy it I will definitely be spending money in the store, probably on weapons etc. But also FTW Mosquito transfers. Please devs:

Both, even if it is just to support the game.

not really. at least you are cannonfodder for the paying customers!

the free players are content as well as the paying players.
they are generating more fun for the customers, encouraging them to spend even more money!

If... IF I like the game, and they don't go too far towards BF3 with the mechanics, then I'll probably spend $60 to $70. A bit less than I'd normally pay for a good game.

If this feels like BF3 with lots of people, then I'm not paying a cent. Already wasted my money on BF3, and I won't waste more on a clone.

Praetor · 2012-06-03, 09:26 AM

I’ll be buying lots of stuff. Chances are I’ll still end up spending more on Coca Cola every month.

DirtyBird · 2012-06-03, 09:27 AM

Maybe a Mankini for my MAX if they are available.
If not I'll find something to buy once I know whats available.
