MY RULES:

- Don't be a shill.
This means no advertising your trades, skins, games, etc. to me, or supporting games that I hate the business practices of.

- Don't request me to play games with you if they contain P2W (see info box below), Gambling "Surprise" Mechanics, or woke leftist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

- Don't spam my DMs or comments either.

- Don't be toxic. Bullying/Harassment will only result in you getting blocked and reported.

- Don't be stupid/woke. I'm a Christian and a Conservative. If you don't like that, then shut up and unfriend me.

- Pretty much it just boils down to "Don't be evil."
(Hey, that's Google's old slogan! But I guess Google wants to be evil now. xD)

WHAT IS PAY TO WIN?

Pay To Win = Anything that can be bought with real money that gives a player a statistical advantage over another player who pays or plays less (especially in F2P games) in any way, is pay to win.


This includes, but is not limited to:

- Boosters (XP and Currency Boosters, etc.)


- Consumables/Power-Ups


- Buffed up "Overpowered" Items (Guns that deal extra damage, etc.)


- Paid progression (to skip grind, etc.), such as the ability to buy resources or unlocks (in PVP games, or in PVE games where the difficulty does not scale fairly/properly)

Grind in itself is often a P2W mechanic designed to force you to pay if you don't want to/or can't play a lot.

- Cosmetics, that aren't strictly cosmetic (Which is becoming more common as companies decide to rig matchmaking, which brings us to the next point)


- Rigged Matchmaking Systems

Research EOMM matchmaking, or rigged matchmaking and you may be surprised at what you find.

- Larger inventories (especially if the free inventory is rather small)


- Battle Passes, as they often combine the above methods


- DLCs that may contain such items like listed above


- Having multiple editions. (Where buying a more expensive edition grants immediate unlocks and/or items that aren't strictly cosmetic)


- Having Early Access items that aren't strictly cosmetic/or out-of-game items such as: soundtracks, posters, etc.
