I keep trying to give them my full six-month commitment and support.
They keep doing shit that proves they’re burning their future to try and save their present.
It never works. #CallingIt #RegisteredToldYouSo #SinceAlpha #OHWELL

Any advantage you can buy with real money is P2W.

when i do i see you crying
What?!
A buy2play game is selling convenience items for cash?!
And for anyone who didnt know @TheLawRich is Studio Directer Rich Lawrence so we have someone very senior in the forums…
Why he no cracking heads together 
One way or another, sooner or later this game will be P2W. Its so obvious all crafting and luck system created for those p2w items.
Don’t need any apologists here.
I can go back to League of Legends, which is entirely free to play, create a brand new account and be Diamond within a month or two without paying a single dime. Same for games like Fortnite.
You don’t need to directly interfere with player fun to have a wildly successful and lucrative product. You do, however, need to have a well-made product.
New World has always been advertised as a skill-based game, and a cosmetic-only shop model supports those games extremely well. They’ve clearly moved into being a stat-based game which favors boosts and QoL to arbitrarily increase player power. Welcome to the stat-based combat model that I’ve been warning everyone of for the last year (ever since they made it obvious in December 2020).

Was there an apology in there somewhere?

Anything more than cosmetics, giving any statistics, fast teleports etc… will bé end of game for me and m’y folks

To me, your response comes off as their behavior should be the expectation.
It should not. They are quite actively making the game worse for players in the hope that they’ve sunk enough time in to justify buying boosts. Given their track record, their main objective should be creating a quality product, fostering good will, and using the merit of the product to sell things in the same manner other highly successful games do.
You might be fine with this behavior, but I’m not.

Should be expected? No. It shouldn’t be. Is it expected? In the world we live in? Yup.
Keep up the good work.
BUMP for awareness
HA!
I would say if they want to make money in the store, they need to sell things like emotes, amazing looking skins for weapons and gear AND if they made it possible to buy a weapon set animation change. so you have unique animation for your weapons skills, THAT would sell. even if it is for basic attacks, like th void gauntlet basic and heavy attacks… look terrible, you can buy something to change your animation for all basic attack on all weapons, or for less cost, for a specific weapon.
Whoa, AMAZING looking skins would be great! Or even skins that are not ugly would be a nice start! I’d pay for that!
Here is a thing though, if they introduced tradeskill xp boosts with the old crafting values, and if this game was not actively trying to get me to stop playing it, i would most likely buy one of those xp boosts just for the convenience.
What i am NOT gonna do, on a matter of principle, is buy an xp boost for anything if the devs are artificially creating reasons for needing said xp boost after a baseline has already been established.
It said nothing of trade experience increases. It says QOL items. Could just be a portable smelter or item to storage shipping boxes or something.
