just beeing superior due to GS which resets every few months is not viable for me
i can play a stateless game like counterstrike or LoL then, just skill matters there
but i like that playtime and endurance also matter in allods on free server
Playtime and endurance don't matter as much as you'd think. Someone with a lot of spare cash could create an account, make higher level runes right off the bat, purchase almost all the cash shop available, and then boost their gearing to get to the point you've been working towards for months.
with money you can make up everything in progressive games, the ultmate way would be to pay someone to levelup your account of buy an account
its self-evident that money can speed up close to everything in the (western) world
with money you can even "pay to win" in stateless games; pay a good programmer to make aimbot esp etc "Private hack" for you, works like a charm in counterstrike, will never get detected, tons of lulz guaranteed...
but as i played to level 9 runes and "full itemshop" without donation i got a feeling that i would never get by donation or playing on stateless server...
so playtime and endurance might now matter in the total view(others only see an account with runes level x, they dont care farmed or bought!), but they often matter a LOT for the personal player!
and the reason why we all play this is the personal satisfaction, isnt it?
