Wondering about what games(MMORPG) to play these few days. Then that brought me back to what I thought of the last time I was looking for a game. The pay-to-play and 'cash shop' games. You can say they're opposites. (Though not directly opposite in a way that pay-to-play is directly opposite to free-for-life games)
Most cash shop games do not have pay-to-play, or you can say they don't need it. Games implemented with 'cash shops' or 'you buy game stuff with cold hard cash' usually earn a lot just having the 'cash shops'. There're always hardcore gamers out there that would'nt mind spending extra cash just to be the best. For pay-to-play games, there are also such a case. Hardcore gamers, or maybe we should call them 'rich people' in this case, don't mind spending extra cash to pay for their game, but there's a flip side. What about the 'poor gamers'? They have no choice but to look for 'cash shop games' or 'free-for-life' games that don't really need cash to play.
Ok... what I'm saying is that games shouldn't have pay-to-play but I'd rather they all have 'cash shops' as this would allow 'poor gamers' to be able to enjoy that game even though they don't have much cash. This thus brings perfect harmony between players, poor and rich. With this perfect harmony comes the 'ying' and 'yang' as well. You'll then be able to see the contrast of players- 'poor yet pro' and 'rich yet noob'. This makes MMORPGs a lot more fun to play. In this case, a pay-to-play game would only act as a filter that will deny the excess of 'poor yet pro' and only limit the game to 'rich' people.
So... they shouldn't have pay-to-play games even though they want to make money. As for me, I'm those that are... 'I'd rather not spend money on online games' kind of player. (Even though I use to spend a lot on them)
