Wow
"I like what I think"
Like you said, it’s a matter of perspective and how you play the game. Notice not once did I ever say that my way of playing is superior or “the right way” but many people have said that to me.
Penguin, the appearance collection is literally a feature and a gameplay mechanic or they wouldn’t have written it into the code and all the gear would look the same.
I want to thank the academy this thread for bringing me to the peak of likeability
Yes you are.
Just google the definition of mechanic bro-man-guy. It doesnt mean "exists in game"
Tis a feature. Tis not a mechanic. Nothing would change mechanically if you took every cosmetic out and played with polygon models
And this was exactly why I asked whether you'd see store cosmetics as p2w if Intrepid explicitly stated that you don't need them to complete your cosmetics collection.
If they took out all cosmetics and replaced everything in game to general shapes and poligons, just to end Iridianny's argument. I would life time subscribe.
Wow, I didn’t realize I held so much significance in your life…
I mean there's mine craft, but I agree. My point is distinguishing between gameplay and graphics. Cosmetics are graphics, and graphics don't make you better at the mechanics of a game. Therefore buying cosmetics is not pay to win as they don't provide an advantage mechanically
I mean, i dont have much to do, and you are quite the passionate woman
Yeah but perspectives are just flawed perceptions of a singular truth. Although I get the feeling you're one of those people who would rant on twitter about "your truth" like that isn't an oxymoron (in your case, with special emphasis on the second half of the word).
So you're saying you looked up the actual definition and said: Nah, doesn't fit with my view of things, hence it's subjective. Let me go ahead and post my own subjective definition. They'll have to accept my truth or be be told they're not reading or are idiots with nothing to contribute, once they inevitably refute it."
I don't use social media and I actually do believe in some singular truths it was kind of a joke to the current day n age... but regardless I don't know if I agree with a singular truth being applied to the definition of "pay to win" on a roleplaying game with multiple progression paths and subjective ways to enjoy the game. Seems like because the game's experience is subjective, so would be the p2w for different types of players. I've actually never called anyone an idiot on this thread, and I haven't pushed my perspective by claiming it was the "right" one either. Those are false accusations and things people have done to me, and you seem to conveniently ignore that point. I am simply not changing my mind on the matter when I haven't heard anything that has changed my perspective and if that really bothers you, it's a personal issue.
Yeah man. We're all just here for the vibes.
Where the hell are my likes? The OP still hasn't made a valid argument against my comments on mechanics.
What your lacking is word amount it would seem. Ive been looking through my posts in the thread, and people seem to be liking the posts that are at least a paragraph or so. You gotta put the effort in if you want those fake points
But this argument doesn't need that much effort to show it is wrong. ☹️
Hell even if we played devils advocate and pretended it was correct, it would still be irrelevant due to cosmetics being purchasable for the last couple years.
Translated : I can change any definition to what I want so I'm right since it is more important to be ignorant than say they are right.
Gahd damn, ya got meh
I dont mind you opinion, that the shops bad. I share that thought.
I understand your stance against transmog, i share it.
I dont see cosmetic skins as p2w under any circumstances. And other than them being a part of the game you find important, you havnt explained to me how they give someone an upperhand over you.
I find it hard to talk with you with how standoffish you seem to be, and your unwillingness to actually discuss your points, or clearify things. Your saying, ive said it before go find it, in a forum with countless threads is in no means friendly or helpful. And after being ran in circles for a while by your arguments, reason is easily lost. But looking at your other posts in general, the forums are very hostile to you.
Im not going to say you do or do not deserve hostility, because i just glimpsed through a few posts... but the way most people here seem to phrase their thoughts under some circumstances is pretty gross. So im going to apologize on my part, but im also going to empathize, you are very standoffish, and unreasonable now, to the point its very hard to discuss things.
I thought you weren't even here for discussion just "the vibes"? I am glad we have some mutual ground, many people have agreed that selling cosmetics is "evil" even though they concede them to be a "necessary evil."
As for upperhand, I am not even sure what that means given there are multiple progression paths and ways to play a roleplaying game. A point that has been consistently ignored. I am not a super competitive person, so this idea of the upperhand doesn't really affect me nor was it my point. As I said, paying for part of the gameplay that otherwise could be achievable in game is p2w. Again, a matter of perspective that competition is what fuels you in an rpg where as for some it's roleplaying in a community, and for others it's adventuring in a fantasy world, etc.
Honestly, if people pay for max level it doesn't really affect how other individuals play the game themselves, there will always be max levels ahead of you unless you are the first... and by that point it wont matter how those who are also max level alongside you got there...
So, I think most people are bothered by that idea simply because it is paying extra to not play the game. However, really those people just play the game differently than others. They don't see questing as the game, but rather end game content. (not that I agree with pay for max level just to clarify)
& I have discussed and clarified so much, I really don't see my "unwillingness." Unless you are referring to me saying that I don't care to convince you, because that's still true. And yes, I am perhaps standoffish for the reason that I don't cower down when, as you can see, many people have been very hostile, aggressive, and sometimes just verbally abusive for me simply sharing opinions and ideas. I appreciate your apology.
