Albion Mobile Version release may also bring a p2w aspect
Have you played the game? NO its not pay to win I have been around since Alpha you gotta put time into unlock stuff in the game buy everything is gathered by players though bigger guilds wont sell the higher tier stuff because they want the advantage. Its a pure grind and no matter how much you spend on the game you can still get stomped. Its more so numbers vs money. Numbers and team work beat the money in the game you can control entire zones of maps and make sure people can't gather those resources to Sell or make anything. Please stop going off a bias of pay to win when you have no concept of the game its like Runescape there is no way this could be pay to win when everything is crafted by players and higher tier stuff is controlled by larger more organized Guilds/Alliances. I am huge into pvp aspect of this game Ganking gatherers and people farming mobs for fame or taking out convoys transporting large amounts of mats players took hours to gather.
I can understand you perfectly, before buying the game i check the website and came accross this: https://albiononline.com/en/shop/premium.
I am one of thoses who think a healthy mmo is a mmo who use subscribe option (like eve) because that mean that even with a niche of player it will still and always survive due to the monthly fee allow the dev to continue working in the game and maintaining the server up. But i dont know, because this game will also be released on phone, i fear that like TONS of phone apps they will add p2w features.
I like "flashy" skills and/or detailed caracter model to look good. That s mainly due to the fact that i played countless mmos and now i also want something that will apeal to my eyes so that even if some feature get changed, i ll still play it for the feeling of power you get with flashy skills, so i dont know. it s 30€ so i gotta think about it .
But more importantly: thereis this right there: https://albiononline.com/en/shop/premium i mean i can understand a healthy mmo is one who use monthly fee (EvE online) because it allow the dev to even if almost no new player join: still develop the game and the servers but well.
I don't think it's that pay to win I mean you can buy albion online gold to get albion online silver but it's not like you can do anything with it without grinding to unlock things. simple. love the game.

To my understanding albion online pay to win(P2W) works like this
The rest of the market will be completely unaffected. Because the albion gold in itself has absolutely no value ingame.

Albion Online beta will last most likely through all of 2017
A guild is just so much more fun in this game and always has been. Gathering is definitely possible solo though and many do so including myself.

Maybe you guys will like some of these albion online ideas
Would be a cool way to add even further diversity to the game especially for armor and weapons that there are no artifact alternatives for.
