Why?  it's a game you get to play for free, even if you can't make any noticable advancement, it's something to pass the time.  I do think that F2P games need to get better if they want respect, but like, why wipe them off the planet? what did they do to you?

Is this your way of saying you agree they are free to play?

Because you don't "have to" put your own money into buying things...

Why would you care if games you don't play have a payment method that you don't approve of?

If you don't like it, ignore it and don't play it.  There's a enough P2P games that you shouldn't have that much difficulty finding one.

I definately would for all the asian grinders out there however there are a few exceptions RS, AE etc which I would keep as they aren't as bad. Basicly anything with an item shop is an auto fail in my books.

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

Even if a game is f2p don't think creating the game, making it bug free as much as they can, update it with new stuff and maintaining good servers is not free you know? they need to earn something for their efforts on making you play a game free when you want to and pay if you really like it.

Simply put, yes I would.

I'm sick of seeing ads "come play this game... because its free", and that is just one of a lot of reasons why I'd do it.

What is up with the hate on this forum? If you don't like something, nobody else who happens to like it is allowed to enjoy it?


For the one complaining about the adds, guess what: The adds make sure you don't have to pay to use this website.

I've complained about how F2P cash shop MMO ads are made, not about the presence of ads on this website.

Although the idea of a paid website would be interesting... less troll threads from people using alternative accounts that seems to be pretty common around here, troll a game, generate hate while not even using the main account.

i would love to see the model gone but would never mess with another gamers MMO. I voted no.

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

+1

As for the ads, funny how they always complain when it's something they dislike rather then complaining about real scam websites ("Get Ripped in 4 weeks" or "You are the 1,000,000,000 visitor $$$$$") and no F2P titles are not a scam. Seriously, if you don't like it, don't bother with it. This isn't politics, you don't vote to choose a president (or to vote against one). Wether this model lives or not should be completly irrelevent to those who don't play them.

Oh and the "I don't like to see false advertising" argument....BS.

Precisely. I've only started going into P2P games myself, but I have to admit that some of my best gaming experiences actually came from free to play games.

if you remove the cash shop on those f2p games,

you should just have told them to shut their servers..

because wether we like it or not they really still need money

to be able to maintain the game and to do some updates..

and it's all your decision wether you're going to buy or not..

 As opposed to nuking all the F2P MMOs, can I instead use all of that firepower on one F2P MMO? Evony.

I hate that game. I have absolutely no idea what its about, but its ads are bloody everywhere, and its just scantily clad women with seductive slogans. No, actually, its just breasts. I'm fully aware sex sells, but really? Is the game so horrendous that the only way to attract people is with boobs? Hell, I wouldn't even have known it was an MMO if it wasn't for a buddy of mine who actually signed up. Every time I see an ad from them, I feel like my intelligence was questioned and I was just insulted.

You're one to talk. You're the one that totally derailed the Dragon Age thread and flamed Bioware's only original IP.
