[SC] definition of a free player

so i know its pretty obvious that once u buy something, anything from do ur not logically considered a free player. but i want to know where i am at with this free player range when compared to a ww. i would hate to be called a ww when im still rubbish and should of been ufe a long time ago.

the only things i buy are subscriptions never uri even on those helix 3.5x i wouldnt. i would schedule my subscriptions to get the most out of them for what i paid for. so actually right now im on a schedule where i got a 1 month prem , i buy a doubler every week within august and at the end of the week ( or if an end of summer sale flash sale happens i may have to buy it again) a rebate. i do that probably do that every serious event that comes up such as the summer, the november sales, and december and any orher serious up coming events that will last awhile

if it doesnt come up then i dont buy anything til it does.

so wouls i be considered a "free player" when compared to the ww?

 

Why would you even care?

 

I am a FREE player. This is a Free game. So therefore I have not spent 1 cent.
Every thing I have on my ship was earned, not purchased.
If I was to spend 1 cent, I would NO longer be a Free player on this FREE game.

 

Players will have a range of opinions on this question. I would wonder why you worry about it myself.

What you are basically asking is player's opinion of what is a free player, and a wallet warrior.

Some players are constantly spend money that I use to pay bills. Its a persons prerogative if they want to spend money to get ahead. I don't think its anybodies business if anyone spends money to do anything on here. The wild thing is players are quick to ask if someone is premium or not, which is the first way they ask if you spend money or not. How willing someone is to use kami is a sign of if they are premium or not.

Basically the only time I see people worrying about WW status is when pvp is getting exciting, and the one on the losing end of the fights starts getting mad. It does not matter what you are or are not buying. If you buy one thing, or everything, that is not enough, as the op has already pointed out, to make you a top warrior. Purchase your subscriptions if you like. The are there to make life easier for you. Keep the financial aspect of your game play to yourself. It is not anybody else business. If one purchase is enough to make you a wallet warrior than I am a ww on two servers and a free player on 5, 6 if you count the test server, but who really cares.

 

You wouldn't be considered a wallet warrior for subscriptions. there is a lot of people that buy rebate or doubler. the real wallet warriors buy everything that is on there ship. but its kinda weird since you have to earn LF-4s and Havocs and Herc. but people buy uri and the EE packages to get the gates open so well played DO. cause the chance system in this game is rigged so they can take our money. subscriptions are great, give out a a pretty good boost. i find myself making just about 400k to 600k uri a week on the 2.49 boxing doubler. pretty sad that i make as much as the $99 dollar uri on a happy hour with a $2.49 subscription

 

A "FREE PLAYER" will not spend a penny on the game for any reason.

A "WALLET WARRIOR" buys everything they can and are usually the first to be UFE or have the NEWEST additions to the game.

So where you are buying subscriptions (and should buy premium annually) do not qualify for either of these classes and as such are just a player that might be having fun. I would buy the Doubler, Rebate, and Premium on the XL basis. Doubler bought one month and the rebate the next so you spend $18 a month total and once a year you pay $60 for Premium. By doing this you are actually saving money in the long run, $3.50 a month with a little budgeting /saving for the annual expense. It was 2 years before I spent a dime on the game and was already FE minus BIO when I finally spent my first dollar so I could get my PET and afford to keep him. It was this last year (5th year) that I finally bought the Premium.

 

I have two wallet warrior accounts for which I spent hundreds... possibly thousands of dollars on. They're level 18-19 accounts. I have one account for which I only spent 60 dollars for premium and some amount of money for the unlimited sell drone. (the premium was when kami cooldown didn't exist so I think I got my monies worth) The 80 dollar account(I think its around there...) is level 20 with the most 'stuff' on it. Go figure.

Free for the most part. I consider anyone who puts money into this game on a regular basis to be a wallet warrior.

Just means you chose to play this account over the BOUGHT accounts, for whatever reason, I failed to spend a dime and was level 16 with FE equipment before I spent a cent on the game, Have 2 friends, who got me started, and they also were FE equipped without spending a cent and was not till this last year trying to get LF-4's that the moneys started being spent and we made the mistake of being suckers buying Booty Keys instead of doing Galaxy Gates. So we are still a long ways from UFE. But even with the amount we have spent we do not feel we are Wallet Warriors as we are not BUYING and USING only SPECIAL PURCHASE AMMO.

 

A Wallet Warrior is someone who takes out his/her wallet and smacks BP employees with it while screaming "Take my money!"

 

I'm sure BP has a money extraction team made up of psychologists trying to figure out just what they need to do to part us with our money. They are doing this instead of what they should to do make money: Keep making the game great, the customer service great, and the costs reasonable.

I just read an article called 5 Creepy Ways Video Games Are Trying to Get You Addicted and it pretty much spells out what BP is doing. The guys at cracked don't know BP, but they know what BP is doing
