I do not understand the logic behind why free player weapons should be equal to varium purchased weapons. It is a little seeing your neighbor watching cable through the window and complaining to the cable company that you have fewer channels and as a result are less informed. You didn’t pay for cable. He did. That is why he has more channels.
I would support free player weapons being nearly equal to varium gear if they were ridiculously priced so that it took forever to get one piece. I think the credit cost should be enough that it would take the average player 6 months of hardcore playing to acquire one piece. I am pretty sure I work harder for my money than you do for your ED credits.
On a lighter note I would like to say this. I like buying varium items for more than one reason and I think many of the heavy purchasers like me would agree. I do like the power they give you in the game, c’mon who wouldn’t! But, I like how transparent the ED team is about themselves and how visible they are to their players. When I send them $50 to get varium I have a general idea who it is going to support. Lastly, in a weird way, buying new stuff is a huge part of the game IMO. I like buying a new item that boosts me or changes my build in some way. It is a part of the game and a part of the fun.
It sounds to me like free players want something that doesn’t exist. There are few, if any, things created by humans that money does not make a difference in what you are able to accomplish. Why would a game designed by a company whose purpose is to make a profit differ?
PS. If there were credit items that were equal to varium items or promo items I would still support ED with $ but not nearly as much as I do now. Free players, keep in mind that the game is still fun for you even if you get whooped alot by the elite 32 variums. If it wasnt you would leave. That being said, if the money stopped flowing into ED, ED would not be able to keep the game going for you. In a round about way varium purchases help everyone, including the free player.
@Vick
That was very awesome! Your analogy with the cable T.V. to ED was fantastic. I'll give you an A+. hehe 
Very very true. All you guys--no, everyone--has to remember that this is something Titan and Nightwraith do for a living. And because of this, they NEED money. As Vick said--in a nutshell--if you pay for weapons, you will get the most benefits. Just like if you pay extra on your T.V. bills for more channels.
I would venture to say--and I'm taking a shot in the dark--that ED is based on what you EARN & HOW HARD YOU WILL WORK FOR IT. (I put it in bold just to make sure everyone sees that statement).
This is a business. Titan and Nightwraith provide meaningful, effective, awesome, epic, (enough with the adjectives) weapons and armor in return for our money.
The business cycle: Firms supply us with goods and service for a return of our goods and services (which, with direct application, OUR MONEY).
Ok, so the question is:
Does this make ED unfair?
My answer:
NO. ED and AE work together to provide everyone with an equal chance to excel beyond the average use of the game (aka going from non-varium to varium). You can pay, or like i said in my other post, you can do free offers...both ways give you varium
THE REAL QUESTION IS:
HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO WIN? (Because this is a business first, and game second, giving your services [money] back will give you the most benefits.)
Now time for me to get more T.V. channels, why you ask? I want the benefits for having more things to watch, and I'm am willing to give my time & services to achieve this.
And did I mention that there are FREE Offers for FREE varium?
