Is Allods still pay to win?

I actuallly appriciate Lux's comments about Allods.

I played Allods a couple yrs ago. It was fun, but really grindy at that time so I quit at level 19.

Anyway, so what is Lux like Allods...I think that's great. Allods would have already folded if there were not people like Lux enjoying it. If you disagree, no big deal, but don't hammer a dude for enjoying something you may not.

 

For a community that is suppose to be so elivated and liberal, you all sure seem very short sighted...typical democrats.

"elevated and liberal?...you mean "close minded and cynical" don't you?

Recently managed to make myself reach the max 51 lvl,the guiding star was ,hey end game there will be raids,dungeons,astral...But no ,when you do reach level 51 (after 2 months or so,grinding rep and such so you can progress in the game )your gear is to weak ,so you cant join groups for astral (mine was around level 47ish green gear) with guildies let alone pugs,and then you are left with nothing to do but grind battlegrounds for gear so you can proggres further into the game.Now you may say,that aint so bad,loots of games have that kind of bg /gear grind ,WRONG!Here s the thing,when you enter bg's as a newly max leveld player you are encountered with people that have A.Runes which boost their atacks B.Gear that is usualy of epic or legendary quality,my usual life span when fighting one of these players is hmm well about 0,1 sec and i did manage to have decent lvl 4-5 runes.But thats not all folks to get the battleground gear,you must reach the reputation level of Trusted with the faction ,now to get rep with you have to complete a so called Symbol of Victory ,which has a right side and a left side ,the right side you will get weekly from the quater master and as for the left side you get those buy killing players in pvp and wining bg's.By completing the two sides into one Symbol of Victory you get,guess what, 35 rep,now mind you as i mentoned previously you need to get Trusted reputation with the faction to get gear which is like 13500 rep!SO yeah they are still forcing you to use Cash Shop mainly to buy runes so you can hold out for another 0,001 milisec and reputation scrolls which boost your reputation gain by double.All in all without paying ,i dont see anyone managing to do anything in this game,which is quite sad since i for one loved the scenery,landscape and the class mehcanics in this game.
