"If you pay a subscription to gain access to pay2win features, the problems go away!" Is this not the same with every MMO in the f2p genre?
This entire post makes me want to puke.

Having perfect guns is not p2w, you can either mine to get your minerals, or do what I used to do which was trade muchrooms/trash for ores from miners since those sell more than ores, so then I had enough ores to repair whenever I needed to

Who cares if it's negative? It's the truth and it's relevant, as it relates to why the server is losing players. Watching you defend iEra is like watching the captain of the Titanic saying that the Titanic is unsinkable... as it's sinking.

How's your server going lol, your player count is barely keeping 50 and from the sounds of it most are quitting once the reset happens. Btw, as mentioned before we recently just passed our max player count, so I don't see what players we are losing, or that our server is "sinking"
The "13 year old" developer thing made me laugh aswell, wasn't that how old you were when you were staff here? Besides to my knowledge our youngest staff is/ was 15, not sure if he is still even working here either

This does not solve the problem. This is like me playing CrossFire and playing with the stock rifle and saying "oh it doesnt matter that people are given clear advantages with paid weapons, I can just play without it!!".
It's just deflection of obvious pay2win concepts embedded in Era.

The game has to make money somehow, and $2.50 on the app store is not going to cover the costs of running the server in addition to making a healthy profit. It's an ios game after all, this isn't some $80 game that has equal balancing.
Even without the 100k guns, you can still be competitive with that price range with 50-60k guns, it just requires more skill on your part which will ultimately make you a better player anyway than the people who just buy the 200k guns and hold shoot.
If you just work for it you can get 50k anyway from doing jobs, awhile back I made a new account and made a basic money making guide which got me about 7k in a few hours, I was only using a neo rifle and ap7s for a total cost of 15k and then a custom head and body for 30k and I was still able to have fun sparring and doing some basing
