Monthly reminder

In PVE, I'd agree with you. But in PVP games with grinding, if progress in the grind gets you better equipment/stats/items/etc., then paying for progress makes it pay to win.
If you're presented with a choice between "lose a shitload until you have enough currency/XP to actually be a threat and start winning" or "pay and immediately be a threat", it's pay to win.

Oh whoops, accidentally replied twice to the same person, saying basically the same thing.
Don't post on chans after not sleeping, kids.

Reminder:
No game that is sold at a retail price (ie not F2P) should not include cash shops or ways to purchase content already in the game - regardless if it's accessible without paying. Paying to buy a game should include all the content in the game with no strings attached. The only content should be charged for is those added to the game after the release.

What would compel someone to complain about
but then go on to write out just that.

Paying to speed up progression does make something P2W if success is even partially reliant on character progression. If all other things are equal (time spent playing, skill of players, etc) than these sorts of boosts would put the player that pays for them at a distinct advantage over the one that doesn't.

I don't see the problem with the last one? You already had to pay a monthly subscription didn't you?

Well judging by that chart, Warthunder is not pay to win, as premium aircriaft are not better (and are often shittier) than normal line aircraft.

Get fucked. I'm making Warthunder thread

There is an endless stream of P2W defence force fags who have convinced themselves that paying to access gameplay unlocks is not P2W. Dirty Bomb a good example? Even their fucking PR cunts defend it.

...

What about microtransactions added post release or, even more of a grey area, what about when an expansion adds exceptional items or raises the level cap? Then base game players are at a disadvantage.

You should take note of how the addicts don't take into account their time as being worth value.

It's no a surprise coming from a warthunder player but you should really try to improve your literacy skills.
