Blizzard saw that crap in diablo2 and they were trying to make an official solution for it (and profit from it as well). Yet Path of Exile this entire time has had trading (which you can do for real money if you want to) no one has ever complained about that because its run on 3rd party blackmarket style websites instead of being supported in game. People have hated on the diablo3 auction house the entire time it was live and refer to it as why the game sucked vs just bad programming. IMO Sea of Thieves is pay2win because the games about how cool you look, The accompishments youve made, not the pointless "I sunk the other guy and got nothing for it but some hits of adrenaline and dopamine"Įven diablo3 now it has a leader board which a very small handful of players even care about. Drop $60 on some cosmetics and look way cooler than you looked for your hundreds of hours of grinding mind numbing PvE content. Now a brand new player can hop into the game. But that was more of a time spent / dedication thing. Theres very few cosmetic rewards in game that look good, There used to be like 1 set that made you stand out from the rest of the player base. Sea of Thieves on the other hand is a pvp based game with no player payer only skill level. So youre not paying to win but paying to quit essentially. Also the game is all about collecting gear so if you buy all the BiS then theres nothing to farm. Their idea was the more intense the RNG the more replay. The end game was just farming BiS gear which was impossible due to the drop system so it forced you into the auction house. Like in diablo3 there was no real pvp or leader boards back in the day.
P2W only works in WoW when you change what the definition is and apply it to anything related to money or time. Winning is expierence, unless you do it yourself you don't actually win anything If you stop to think about it, WoW is already p2w, since you can buy WoW Token and trade them for gold and buy rush. If these microtransactions are successful on PC we will get a much worst WoW store
