Is Anybody Not affected by P2w?

Over the years, people think the game has been becoming more pay 2 win.
Maybe it has but is there anybody like me who has not been affected by it?

[quote=SilverFoxR]Let me ask a question...

Win [b]what[/b], exactly? Where is the point where you "win" at Maple?

I don't "pay to win" - I earn my mesos by playing and use what I earn to buy what I need. I've easily been able to train on anything I fight, I don't need to brag about my damage in order to show off the size of my "E-peen". I have a large variety of characters I play, not because I want to be "teh best", but because I enjoy playing them. None of them feel particularily "weak" or "strong". They all do what they need and do so just fine.

Perhaps what all the people who believe the game is "pay 2 win" should ask themselves is "What am I winning?" and instead simply try playing for the sake of playing.[/quote]

Pay 2 advantage.

You have to have already accomplished you're goal of making money before you can even attempt it.

l haven't had the need to spend any money on NX or buying cubes or anything.
You already get tons of free scrolling stuff from Hot Times and events, what do you need a 3000% stat item for anyway?

Only NX l spend on this game currently is through surveys to buy Royal hairs/Surprise boxes.

I never paid a penny on this game, i do free surveys to get my permit, I am currently lvl 199 and gaining exp right this moment. I also have a guildie who has a 500k range who never paid any money on this game

A lot of people say that its impossible to get rich by only merching, but its possible. it just takes a lot of time.

Yeah sorry I can't farm gollux, cra, magnus, or sw cuz my range sucks.

And the only viable way to get $$$ for better range is to farm gollux, cra, magnus, or sw.

Or pay. That too.

Edit: Seriously, Digital Extreme has opened my eyes. Even since Warframe smashed mabi in that one poll, I went over to try it out. They actually use clean business tactics! All the guns / frames / sentinels you buy with real money are perma. If this were nexon, it'd be 90 days or less so they can keep you on the drip *cough COMBATARMS cough*

And all the endgame guns / etc are craftable completely for free. Everybody has an equal chance at getting rare mods. Not like MS where you need $$$ to get $$$. (rich/poor gap, anyone?)

Range is never an issue for me because my highest level character is only 130. Otherwise no, I'm not affected by the p2w aspect
