Love It Or Hate It: PlanetSide 2

In terms of pay to win I dont really think so. Alot of business models now adays kinda go off the time it would take you to farm said item thats in the cash shop without actually using the cash shop. This games progression can feel a bit sluggish with unlocks but on the other hand its not insanely terrible. Still think its a great game even tho its not really my style of shooter.

Pure crap from scammers!

I often use Planetside2 as a reference to a good cash shop. Some people will never understand that f2p is a business model and needs to make money, but some games are way too greedy, PS2 is one of the better ones.

The word "Pay 2 win" doesn't exactly fit on Planetside 2, because, Planetside2 is almost the same as Warframe, the only thing you can't get without using irl cash are cosmetics.
yes, yes, it does require time to buy your most wanted 1000 cert weapons, but it's not impossible to get it without using cash.
i'm not a hardcore player, i would usually play between 1,5-2 hours a day, and that is just enough time for me to get me 100 certs or even more.
and there are quite a lot of way to have fun in planetside2, i've always shifted my way of playing the game to avoid getting bored,
want to be a ninja with a permanent invisibility? why not?
want to be a douche sniping people in the head while they are trying to change loadout and trying to spawn a vehicle? of course why not?
want to be a mischievous fairy that drops bricks of death? it's possible
want to ram on people and maxes with an invisible flash? it's fun and rewarding, do it.
want to camp in one place and pawning vehicles and people with your camera guided rocket launcher? it's fun, why not?
want to try to ram a tank with a big ass galaxy? it works.
want to spam grenade on those spawn campers from inside of your spawn? i did that and it got me 20 kills.
want to try being a robot with a gatling on each hand? TRs love them.
what about dual shotguns? go with NC.
and yes, there are cons in the game, the game lags heavily on mid tier rigs, and even the low settings are just not.... low enough, if possible, i would like an ULTRA SUPER LOW SETTING, i don't mind playing the game with a graphic equal to a game from more or less 10 years ago, i just want to get a constant 60 fps, no, even 40 is okay too, and if possible, i want ragdolls to be back.
the support aren't that bad, they helped with my problems 2 times, where the first would be a lost account, and the 2nd would be about market problems.
i've played the game for quite a time, and when i've reached more or less BR40, i just decided to spend 20-25$ on the game, it just felt bad to not contribute to the game when i've come this far, and i used those SC i got to buy camos, and a horn, and sometimes they gave discount to weapons.
i am now a BR60 TR player with a green camo, and finally having more kills than deaths on my K/D Ratio.

This is a pretty fun idea. Look forward to more.
