Do I, like actually have to re-post your post history here? Or have you grown immune from a life time of you proving that you are immensely dumb?

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

I think I've figured out who you are, Geedumbass.  (For the record, posting your actual toon's name on The Vault is a fairly stupid move.)

It may please you to learn that I've learned that you're considered to be one of the biggest jokes on your server.  According to a fairly reliable source, you're a stupid newbie who thinks he is hot stuff and is considered to be a laughingstock by vets who make fun of you in back channels.  My source compared you to another well-known idiot on your server (Thelanis) who used to post for "STRONGS ONLY".

The difference being that Mr. Strongs Only is actually beloved for being amusing in those back channels.  Geedorah is not.  Only two people I know of more derided are Thrudh and Xynot_2

Just because it can be bought with TP that can be earned doesn't make it not pay content.

But because you can farm the TP and buy it with free TP it makes it freely accessible and free so that you dont have to spend money which means you dont have to pay for it which means it's free

Edit: Was that redundant enough for you to understand free?
Edit2: Before there was a P2W discussion some one did completionist on a F2P account and posted the screen of his loggin with only 2 toon slots. And it can still be done with everything added because.... you guessed it... it's free.

wasn't leveling sigils the start of turbines voyage of pay2bypass?

While mana pots was a point of contention, folks strived to complete raids/dungeons without using any, so from my observations it didn't effect the raiding folks I knew on orien server. Turbines foray into selling xp outright was imho, the final nail in the p2w column. While I will accede that mostly turbine has stuck to pay for convenience or bypass with only a handful of glaring misstep(looking at you EPIC DESTINIES). Turbines genius marketing/sales crew has in effect, created a chain of purchases that the sum equals outright p2w.

Again.  Just because it can be done free does not mean p2w doesn't exist.

Hey fagboy i have lots and lots of heroic and epic stones.

Enough to get 3x all past lives for all my toons.

Want some?
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

5 pages and I'm still not sure what the point is.  Does it really matter if it's p2w?  By the definition of several replies, any game that charges real money in any way is p2w.  I'm cool with that.  As far as I know though, about the only thing of any consequence that you don't have access to as a completely f2p player is the ASAH, as you have to be either VIP or premium to use it.  So, I guess because something does exist in the game that you can't have access to as a completely f2p player, the game is indeed p2w.  There, it's settled. 

Nothing more to see here.

Seems to be no access.

That's a good point with the SP pots, but right now with the cards it's basically d2w (dupe to win), any noob with a blue bar can burn sp indefinitely for massive damage.

In my opinion, the heaviest P2W right now is (if you were to actually buy these things instead of exploiting) Box>LR>Box>TR>Repeat, it is literally retarded.


LR hearts are dupable?

Tsin had (has? he is back I guess?) balls and wasn't one of those annoying little neurotic pricks trying to cover for his real life inadequacies with DDO tough talk or arrogance. In fact, those were the types of people he lampooned. He may have been juvenile in the way he fought his battles, but I respected him more than anyone else on Thelanis.

I hope that gives you an idea of how much respect I have for the rest of you.
