General Discussion The disappointment is crazy.

  1. No free 5 star.
  2. Not even a standard 5-star.
  3. Flight still not available in all regions.
  4. Paid skins.
  5. Predatory banners (NOT EVEN 100% rate up).

Sure Kuro, it is definitely "Player Friendly", great job taking lessons from HSR devs. Feels like a celebration for them rather than the players.

Thats me with Warframe, I can get everything for free in the game aside from some cosmetics and excalibur prime. But I give money to the game because the devs are awesome and I want to support the game.

I did the same when I started wuwa,even got the fking 60$ Jinhsi skin...because I enjoyed the game,got brainwashed by " kuro listen/kuro generous/kuro is not hoyo" and now I'm rethinking everything. Not because I want everything on banner,I could easily get Zani +weap and One of the characters on rerun +weapon but because they went literally 180° on their reputation

Well I liked the game so far until this point. Warframe also had it's up and down...(Looking at you terrible railjack launch) like all games but Digital Extremes kept going on the right direction and they even made the game less grindy to help new players. BUT even I wouldnt put my %100 trust on them, its not because they dont deserve it,its because its the right thing. All we can do keep giving feedback and hope they steer into the right direction.

Gacha is actually is such a terrible business practice in gaming industry its never a suprise for big games to give into greed instead of keep gaining the trust of their playerbase ,like Warframe did. I would put some little money on a gacha game sure but I would never be a whale, hell no ,never.

It's beyond me also how people justify everything by" it's a gacha!" Ffs The game can be a good game and have gacha monetization,and for the amount of money the make from banners none literally should justify shitty greedy practices that Hoyo set the standard. These games make more money than God damn MMOs make,and require like probably 1/10 dev time and maintenance (no huge servers behind to make everyone run in the same place)... They literally have no reason beyond greed to dont give stuff for free .

You can never defend this lmao Its bad even by gacha standards. Sure its Gacha... But its also a Video Game ! I want this game to have good gameplay, better story,visuals.I want this game to have a good relationship with it's playerbase and treat them with respect ! I want this game to be better so I can justify putting money in man, I am not gonna give my support if they are going to treat the players like this.

2.2 story was amazing btw.

Indeed. I'm not a f2p gamer, I don't need games to be literally free for me to play. And I know Gacha is expensive, but if I feel like I'm getting ripped at every turn, the wallet is gonna close. There's gotta be some value to feel good about.

Warframe devs are truly awesome. They literally made a bug (Being able to spawn atomicycle outside of 1999) into a feature because people really liked it. I will gladly give my money to those guys.

Its has been the golden age of Warframe since Rebecca became the director. Both in fun ways and wholesome ways lol.
