If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

    They never are and this attitude is what got us in this microtransaction hell in the first place.

      Games that sell things like XP boosts always swear the game is balanced around not requiring them but there is always some grindy shit. Just play all this boring filler content for 90 hours.

      Without them I wouldn’t have gotten Warframe and Guild Wars 2, so I’m not so against all of them.

        I’ll agree with that. Guild Wars 2 still has a slight amount of “pay for convenience” stuff that makes me twinge considering how much I’ve already paid for the games and expansions, and I really wish you could unlock mount skins in more ways than just gems, but considering you can farm gold and swap it for gems it’s acceptable enough.

        Especially because I wouldn’t even play an MMO with a sub fee, so for that alone I respect GW2’s approach.
