All the angry about pay to win.

Please, feel free to list a game where the cash shop gives you such a "huge" advantage.
inb4 combat arms.

[Serevn]

I really don't see how the game can be pay to win, considering all weapons do damage and such, nothing bounces off armor like in WoT.

Thats the point of the video. Peter buys a ton of "C-bills" and dives into it expecting instant success. Instead he gets brutally raped.

World of Tanks golden ammunition. It more or less negates the enemies armor and always penetrates.

Also, EverQuest II.

You cannot equip anything above "uncommon" quality on your character without paying money. It used to be a standard MMO that went free-to-play. But because of that, it's now a "Pay-to-Win" game. They really shouldn't call it free to play. A free account may as well just be a demo for the game. (Misnomer -- it's not Pay-to-WIn, it's more like "Pay for your Character to be functional and not die to anything more than a green con")

First of all, everquest? who actually plays it.
Secondly, have you even played WoT? Gold ammo doesnt even come close to "always penetrating".
It gives you an advantage, but advantages do not equate to winning.

Considering I took the time to give you a thoughtful and serious answer to your question, this is a really rude response.

Come now, Combat Arms, while NX weapons certainly tend to give advantages, they're not as much of an advantage as the higher rank GP weapons, or the grey hi sec cases. Only thing is that NX means that you can effectively keep your weapons without playing daily.

It was rude, but this dead horse has been beaten so many times we're just hitting the dust on the ground, the horse is gone.

So not having to play daily is now pay to win?
Lol.

It's not pay to win is what I'm saying.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Didn't really expect anyone to agree with what I'm saying in such a sideways manner, had me a little confused.

Team Fortress 2, obviously.

How am I supposed to beat an opponent with such a fantastic array of hats?

I completely understand, those hats are amazing, how can you not just want to stop and stare at them.
