  I see gold is for sale in the shop, is store bought gold a big influence in the game? Or pretty irrelevant?

    Pretty much the same as PLEX in Eve. If that was p2w for you, then this will be p2w for you too.

      I mean… in eve you were allowed to straight up buy perfect characters or skill injectors, then the isk to buy a ship. So you could have a newbie with the same character power as a 3 year old player.

      My brain does not like grinding games with strong P2W aspects, it messes with me.

        Albion has “skill injectors” too. There are tradeable tomes with which, if you were to spend enough money on it, you could almost max your character.

        Keep in mind I’m just trying to paint you a picture here, so you can decide whether it fits for you. I’d still recommend trying Albion. It’s a small install and free to try after all.

        Yeah but that person would suck. A player with experience will beat a credit card warrior every time.

    i haven’t played it that much since my ping was atrocious, but i would say no. IIRC beside membership and cosmetics that you can buy with gold, i think you can covert it into silver which you can use to progress faster and even buy gear but you won’t gain an unfair advantage or get something that’s exclusive to the MTX shop.

    you should read what experienced players have written if you want a more detailed explanation, im just sort of vaguely familiar with the game.
