Just throwing some numbers out here for people.
Assuming Charbinger Prices:
28k for a weapon
35k for an armor
119k for primary, gun, aux and armor.
119k credits=3719 battles.
To put that number into perspective, the 1vs1 leader as of now has less than 650 wins. Being unfair here, he has 650 wins for this part. This will take him at least 5 days straight doing the same pace to get all those pieces of gear without having to spend any varium and then he'll still have to spend almost 3 quarters the next day as well.
That's before you even touch enhancements which can(and probably will) push you into 200k credits for maximum competing opportunities. While a varium player can buy the $50 pack, spend the keys on the credit boost and get one credit item with no effort in-game and then have the varium to spend on the other 3 pieces of gear and then enhancements.
Yes, thank you for supporting my point by telling us that one could buy an entire set of new items just by playing five days. [;)]
If you could save up enough to buy an entire item set just by playing (albeit, playing quite a lot) for five days, think what you could do at a more average player's rate (120 wins a day) over a month or so. It comes down to a very similar number. And considering that more powerful items only come out once every other month or so this year, an active non var player would be able to keep up with the latest items while simultaneously saving up for enhancements. Within a year, it would be physically impossible to determine the difference between said non var player and any paying player, other than a possible difference in hairstyle.
If ignorant children wish to insult my opinions, and by extension, insult me, then that is entirely within their rights. However, it rarely reflects well on one to attack another without cause.
And that is why I highly oppose VNV items.
Again, special thanks to Mallet for provoking me. [;)]
