IGG helps you advance not win in this game from my understanding though. There is no paywall that you must pay for to advance. Sure you can whale it up and hit end game/end gear faster. But your average everyday consumer can also get there playing the game while enjoying it. Never once are you forced to swipe a credit card to make it to the end.

Obviously we all see P2W differently, but to me this game does not have any P2W behind it. There is no defined barrier that stops your progress 99% unless you pay.


There are no server firsts, there are no world firsts.
You can tell someone who has skill, and who bought their ilvl.
If you whale to get into a higher tier raid and can't perform, you'll be kicked immediately and shamed. LOL
I'd advise everyone to work on player skill before purchasing upgrade mats.
You can also obtain these mats and avoid paying with an alt or 2.

Your alts fuel your main.


I'm buying ship skins, and theirs fuck all anyone can do to stop me muahahaha

that's good news. from what i've read the gold early is pretty much used for alts lvl boost so u can farm dailies and weeklys.


Yeah alts will be important, for gold farming. Just remember to enjoy the game. If you want to min max every single character slot you have though I'd assume it will feel like you must "swipe swipe swipe" but for the average consumer I don't see many running into issues feeling like they must pay. Hell the aura even just minimizes silver costs (silver appears easy to obtain) and gives some additional perks, but none of them give you a clear advantage over anyone else.

It is truly fair and balanced.
PvP is even balanced, which is a rarity.

This game is so much easier on the wallet compared to MANY other MMORPGs, you name it.


Hell in WoW with my playtime being limited and being in a progression guild I was forced to buy gold for years. I feel this statement haha.

I can't wait to be a complete noob in this game since I never played it, but that's half the fun of evolving with the game.

I always laugh when people compare LA to WoW.
You pay 15 a month to have store mounts shoved in your face.
Then you might even buy a carry in Mythic with some gold you bought.
Like what?

You're paying for gear...

Because any decent player would know that ilvl isn't everything, amongst the hardest things to upgrade and one of the biggest gold drainers for the game are actually engravings.

You start by gearing your main first, once your main reaches ilvl 300 and you can start farming chaos dungeons and grind for your ability stone, that's where you start.

I remember progressing thru "No light" yogg back in the day, and having to kick a shaman who literally couldn't afford to flask anymore. This poor kid was like 16 and had to get benched because he literally exhausted all his resources trying to progress with us, and we drained him dry.

Tragic.

Your comment reminded me of this.
