"The country should just die quickly" actually manages to be a worse sales pitch than "The less bad choice."

But only one is actively encouraging it.

I like how you can't actually refute any of what I said, and all you can call out is regional differences in spelling. You're right though, I didn't know that was the British spelling. Using that as the focal point of your rebuttal, though, is about as meaningful as achievements that can be unlocked with a console command.

If you fill a safe with rocket fuel and ignite it, the safe is not guaranteed to contain the result.

Your weak reading comprehension is your problem, but let me help you anyway.

If achievements don't matter, then your inability to unlock them also doesn't matter. You're complaining about not being given Nothing.

Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours [SIC] is your own.

Perfect, then you won't care about being locked out of earning those silly little internet points.

Achievements do not serve some great purpose, but what little purpose they do serve requires that earning them is done on equal footing. If the "100% Completion on Hardest Difficulty" achievement can just be earned by playing through the game with god mode on, or even just toggling a status from zero to one with console commands, then they go from serving very little purpose to serving none at all.

So either achievements are completely pointless, and you're complaining about not getting a pointless thing, or achievements have some value and you want them to have no value at all.

You know that by trivializing the value of achievements in the first place you also trivialize the importance of not being able to get them, right?

Of all the ideas of all time, the idea that Warframe has an aggressive monetization plan is certainly one of them.

Yes, you CAN save time by buying a resource drop booster, but those can also be earned in game. you CAN just buy whatever Warframe you want right now, but you can absolutely earn them all in game. You CAN buy Platinum, but you can also trade for it in game and never spend a dime. But none of this is aggressively presented to you, none of it gets pushed on you. The mere existence of boosters is a far cry from aggressively pushing them, the only one nagging you that you "could have had more" is you.

And the accusations of FOMO are pretty misplaced. It's not completely absent, but on the rare occasion that your login bonus is a coupon for platinum you're only ever one click away from just ignoring it. So many games will put something on sale once and tell you up front that if you don't BUY it now, you'll never get it, if you miss out, you REALLY miss out. Warframe never does that, even the things that are limited time are on a rotation, they'll be back, and they can always be earned in game without spending a dime. Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always. You can pay for a shortcut, you can pay to skip some part you don't like, but at no point do you ever have to, and it definitely doesn't PUSH microtransactions on you like so many other games. You won't get pop ups telling you to buy some limited time bundle or encouraging you to double your payout with this booster or that. Those things exist, and they're tucked away in the market where you don't have to interact with them. If you're really wound up over resource drop boosters or the like, you'll get them as the occasional log in bonus from time to time, but in most cases they're just not going to be necessary. The things that tend to block you aren't things a drop booster is likely to seriously impact. Frankly, if you ever spend platinum on a booster, you're a fool.

You spent money, once. By your own admission it wasn't even a lot. That's fine, just have some shred of self control and the game won't push more on you. Have a modicum of patience and sooner or later the game will give you what you were looking for anyway.

It's about time men got the healthcare attention they deserve, right guys? /s
