Really the only thing I wanted to emphasize was that its possible to succeed pvp without spending any money. I'm pretty sure the mm is not finding ONLY 16 players that have equally spent $0. You have to admit one thing. I'm sure I've been paired with players who have spent $1-$20. If the theory of "p2w" was as significant as the hype claims, spending $1 would put you at an advantage vs me, who has spent nothing. Than even further saying the guy who spent $20 should be walking the game and so on. I'm here to debunk the idea that the game is ONLY playable having spent money. That is what the community has paint the game to be and that's the myth generated. It cant be both ways. Yea blizzard is trying to get paid. All mobile games are set up this way.
Yea I don't think anyone is contesting neither of those statements.. Comment that bothered me was the statement in the other thread that the only difference between you and a whale is 30 hps.. Thats a bold face lie.. And nobody is calling someone who paid 20$ a whale.. The damage/stat/resonance difference is insane.. The access to each hell difficulty which increases gear and stats is insane.. The resonance gap.. all will slowly pull the p2w player ahead... No in a game where you can spend 100k maxing a char no.. It's not surprising that you would be close to or on par with someone who spent 20$ or even a 100$... Apples to Oranges.. Im saying when you match someone who knows what there doing and spent 50k on the game your going to get curb stomped and no amount of skill selection or masterful button clicking is going to save you when you go up vs these people... Your not the only one out there stating that at the moment MM seems decent and most report being ranked decently as f2p.. Nobody really gives two shits about that.. People care about the blatant lies Blizz told and the clearly predatory spending habits the game encourages..
I can play Devils advocate and say D2 and D2r is p2w.. Can you buy gear and be stronger then someone who didn't short answer "yes".... But blizz doesn't sell it to you.. The game also does not gate any gear or content behind rifts that cost 20$+ a run to get 0.5% chance at getting anything worth a crap...
Further the real problem really isn't any of this.. The problem is there trying to transition this into to pc gaming and other titles by the day and the more people like yourself who don't see the harm in encouraging others to play this BS and accepting this as acceptable product to attach the DIablo name to in my eyes is part of the problem.. I mean your allowed to enjoy it.. But from what I have read your doing much more then that.. Your in here trying to justify p2w doesn't exist and the player gap is closer then others have suggested which mite I add you also have no proof of other then I guess your score card from a few matches which basically tells us nothing other then you won a match and smashed some newbs..
