You see this happen in a lot of games: Boosts, P2W, In-Game Currency. I, myself, personally, I don’t go for those sort of things. I find it doesn’t allow you to soak in all the story, gameplay and fun.
If the VIP system does not effect the gameplay majorly, meaning that people won’t kill you in one hit because they are a VIP, then yeah, I can get along with it.
But, if the VIP system gives players a major advantage over all the non-VIP players. Then, I’ll be very disappointed.
Fingers crossed all goes well; I have high hopes for this game!
