Been playing Lost Ark for almost 3 weeks now, and almost on Tier 3.  If you have a working credit card,  DO NOT play Lost Ark.  It's 10x more P2W than BDO.

Imagine those Sharps/Hards/Mass of Pure Magic/Black stones and other enhancing mats being time gated (you can only farm a certain amount per day), but if you buy it from the shop you can circumvent that Time gate mechanic.  That's what Lost Ark is.

Just wanted to let ppl here know if they're thinking of jumping over.  

Now if your a 100% Free to play player, I would say Lost Ark is better than BDO mostly because of the Teleports and Not needing to leave your PC running for AFK mechanics.

Yeah i am in the same boat was playing for past month and fuck that. 

Game is P2W as fuck ... not only that RMT is absolutely insane since you can trade gold and other crap.

People will say ... its skip concent etc but for me ... idk here in BDO enhancing using P2W methods means you actually need to own an Oil Rig or something to afford it and people with money like that will allways prevail in any game.

One thing in LA is that is not P2W is PVP or that bit of it that actually exists in game.

I think the main point of this topic was not to define "P2W"... Just saying.

And this strategy is not new in LA, from the start many players were giving warning about the time-gated mats for enhancements, and its potential "solution" through the cash shop.

Not our fault if the acronym is awfully outdated but still used by many people.

Now, could you leave the basic level and follow the discussion, please?

What discussion? The title literately says that you win, but even if you pay you only lose? I'm confussed....

To CatDK : 

With this, OP litterally explains that the problem goes far beyond that.

But yeah, stick to the title, sure, that's how it works. And let us discuss about the real problem.
