Like I said above in a game like Drakensang where the pay to win advantage is huge... Going from a normal 8 shot kill to a 1 shot kill.
In SL there is a difference between the p2p players. Especially at 35+
Th best implants are only plat. And the only pink shields are Plat. And also give a set bonus with a pink gun, which is way easier to get by using the miners luck elixir. Without plat, you have to PvP with lvl 25 implants, a lvl 30 purple shield and no set bonus from a pink shield an pink gun. It's pretty unfair. To be competitive it end gam PvP in SL, right now, you need plat to buy the best gear.
