    $100 to r5 a 4* might seem like a lot - but it really just comes down to if its worth it to YOU. From my perspective, you are currently unable to r5 any 4* right now. The best you can do is r4. Who knows how long it will be before they add content that will allow you earn the materials needed to r5 one of your 4*s - and more likely than not, the first t3 class spark you will get, will be random. Im also guessing the if they add the ability to earn t3 shards through maps, that the maps will be very difficult (leading you to spend energon), or if they do it through arenas, the t3 rewards would only be for the top top players, and they will be VERY competitive.

    Heres how I look at it - I used to play WoW for years. Including the cost for the game, and the monthly subscription, most players are spending around $200/year on a single game....you just dont notice it as much because the cost is spread out over an entire year. A game like this - ill spend around $30-$50 every 6months or so on average depending on how good the deals are that come out.

    So for me, dropping $100 on a game I play nearly every day, for an item I will unlikely be able to have access to for at least several months, and will help me complete content that might be too difficult for me to complete now, while also helping my Alliance in events like AM, is an easy choice.

    I got the first two of T1 alphas and T3 basics. Absolutely no way am I'm getting those T3 class sparks. I'm not paying the price of two full games for one ranking item for one character in one game on my phone. Unless I suddenly become a millionaire, it's not gonna happen.

    If you add it up, it's actually $165 to rank a single character to rank 5, and even all of the purchases don't cover it all.

    Just to play devil's advocate - you would be lucky to get a new quality game for less than $60. Depending on the game you get, you may also need an online subscription (PS Plus / XBox Live) otherwise you are just playing the game by yousrself, and also depending on the game, there may be several DLCs that are out that you would need to purchase to unlock specific characters or content...or if not, most games are beaten in less than a couple of months, and are hardly ever played again. You could trade it into GameStop for $5 if youre lucky and they dont already have 500 copies.

    And the only material that is not currently in the game that you can not earn on your own is the T3 Class Spark. Everything else can be earned through current content in the game that has already been beaten by players who didnt have a r5 4*. Which means that the cost to r5 a 4* is $100. It would only be more than that if you wanted to take an extra short cut - but its not "required" the same way the T3 Class Spark is right now.

    Pay2play scum

    Like it or not, paying players and free players need each other. Paying players keep the lights on and free players provide the majority of the player base, which makes it more fun.

    The problem is, and always has been, free players having unrealistic expectations in being able to compete on par with players spending thousands of dollars.

    What games like this need are events with restrictions... For example... Arenas only allowing bots forge level 20 or lower, or nothing over rank 3, or class restrictions, no relics, boosts, 1* bots only... etc.

    Gives free players an opportunity to compete on par with spenders and rank at the top for specific events.

    What IS pay2play like?

    I'm not a huge spender.. in fact, I spent early on to get ahead of the pack just after beta, and used the advantage to rank high and maintain my progression for free (mostly). I can't compete with the biggest spenders, but I'm happy with where I can consistently rank.

    if you have the $$ then go ahead.. it'll get you ahead for sure. I'm happy where I'm at. If things becomes too challenging I can just drop to a lower alliance.. no issue. Rather than paying just to be ahead all the time. It's a never ending rat race.. next will be the launching of 5* bots, and another 2 years from now likely the launch of 6* bots.

    Please ban this guy for necroing his own thread from 2017.

    He's admittedly quit the game, and now he's back just to troll negativity at the community.

    We don't need it.

    Ummm... I was there when he quit (Yes I was a guest for that long due to the Forums bug), and he’s back, which is understandable I guess, but... how has he been negative?
