Display MoreStamina systems by themselves don't make a game P2W. What GF does from here with EP pots will determine if it contributes to that atmosphere forming over SW though.
Btw, the origin of EP and stamina systems comes from Korean laws limiting online gaming time and usually carries over to satellite servers for most KR-based MMOs. EP/Stamina pots are designed to circumvent those rules, just like how Gacha systems are a loophole for anti-gambling regulations.Display Morei hate to be that guy, ok no i dont but this game is already pay to win on release at this rate. with this dreaded Ep system that serves no purpose except to strong arm players into buying consumables to replenish EP. costumes well lets not even go there. so far ive seen people who utilize the 100 EP pots or the dread selling of spots. more EP more runs more runs more loot.
TLDR: another EP makes the game pay to win
This game is not p2w, you act like people can gain infinite EP from mats when there's a limit. Not to mention the time it takes is worth more than the money to be able to gain a considerable amount. "If" they do add these to the cash shop then they "will" be limited in some way.
TLDR: If you played the game for more than 10 minutes you would know.
lol im at over 42hours in na server so uhh way more than 10 min and 42 is just on one toon
With me on the verge of 55 i don't think it's p2w i can completely agree with Jxeu i don't think you can call spending 30mins afk for 2 dungeons p2w, I doubt you will be allowed to stock up on 60 100 EP pots.
