Yeah it’s totally predatory. Thanks for laying it all out.

Makes me glad I am 100% f2p.

For the record, I would have happily spent $40 or so flat fee to play the game if the p2w mechanics weren’t there. It’s more about the principle of the thing now.

If you’re dumb enough to fall for all of that, you deserve it.

No. The world is revolved around the choices you make. Does that mean McDonalds is predatory because people are fat? No. Fat people chose to eat there, they chose not to exercise, they chose to be and stay lazy.

The game offers a choice to buy. You are not obligated or forced upon threat of death to buy ANYTHING. It's up to you and your choice what you do every single minute of your life.


your lack of understanding is very protruding.

Your reasoning is of so low quality its leagues under even the average d2jsper.

DI is doing everything it can to make f2p players buy something in game.
EVERYONE who has atleast made it to hell 1 knows this through and through.

Im am sure your blinded by your ego - you think you have skill because you were "MVP" in battlegrounds and now you cant accept the fact that DI isnt a skill based game.

Yes and good psychological explanation on why. I spent around $500 in a blind race to be top, realizing it was a never ending cycle that I couldn’t (and shouldn’t) keep up. Glad I did. When a person (like I did), has withdrawals from playing a game, it’s bad.

I remain under $10 spent. Still getting mvp, still gold 5, still fighting with and against whales of the whales. Your attempt at sounding educated began well in your best intention. You failed to follow up. You can keep changing your diapers or play the game. Get over it. The facts are facts. The game is a choice system. Noone has these people at gun point to spend anything just like nobody is forcing you to be a tool. Those were choices made by the person themselves. Like it or lump it. You chose to lump it.

Sure is.

Not only is it predatory but now we are getting less game for more cost. You’re literally time gated.

Only problem is, do 13 year olds have sufficient brain power to determine if those choices are actually good or bad...

Because if they don't, then this game is absofuckinglutely predatory

Yup. Very predatory, no question about it.
