So again why no F2p and P2W servers?

I srsly don't care if you are p2p.
I am just trying to understand the rationale behind clumping both classes into one set of servers.
Maybe it's just me but if I was p2w then I want to compete against other tricked out max level/gear/power p2w team and not run over f2p teams.
I like how games like WoW has servers created based on play style - PvE, PvP, RP etc.
I would be cool in SWGoH was created based on pay style. If your total payment towards ingame purchases was above x amount of dollars, you get switched to a P2W server.
It's lot more fun to win against an equally competent team.
Before that f2p guy posts and claims he is #1 in arena for 5 straight weeks. A disclaimer - there are very few f2p players who reach those top brackets. Very few.

Sadly, most people pay to have an advantage, in order to crush those who don't.
It's fun to win against an equally competent team, but there's a risk you lose.
Most people will prefer crushing less advanced players for their personal glory.
I can assure you that only a few would pay if it meant fighting only paying players: you'd just spend cash without getting an advantage over those who don't.
What @Xenvy said and:
F2P's are the majority of players for the P2W's to feel good about beating since they win by pocket size. Without F2P players, P2W gets bored since they are all fighting the same over-powered champions (mostly, this game is surprisingly balanced between P2P and P2W, outside of Sun Fac and Leia).
It sucks, but F2P's cant play without the P2W's, and the P2W's dont have fun without killing the F2P's.
Also, there are people that like to spend like 20$ a month and there are people that spend 100$ a day. Then it's not fair for the first group you could say. And splitting it up depending on how much you spent just doesn't work
That's messed up my friend. Sounds like p2w players have some bullying issues.
Lol srsly what u r saying is really messed up.
If you have low esteem issues then seek help and not try to get a false sense of ego playing phone games.
Im f2p but you pay to have the best gear characters and star levels.You pay for the clear advantage over everyone else
Yea, that's the whole reason games went from $60 for a fair game, to "Please spend $5,000 on this ONE game!"
You do realize you are a p2p player right?
You take your Jedi Luke Skywalker profile pic and get out! No one likes logic here!
If you are saying I am p2p (which I am not denying) then yes I want to compete against fellow p2p teams.
But I am not p2w. There is a difference.
1. Let's say you paid 500$. Are you on a F2P serveur with pople who spend almost nothing, or on a P2P serveur with people who spent 5000$ ? Both cases are unfair.
2. Let's say I play one month on a F2P server, and then decide to spen 1000$. Will I being forced to move on a new server ?
To a 100% f2p player they are only different shades of the same color.
I'm sorry. Lol
Are you sure F2P players don't want to compete with P2P players? I find people who are F2P get the most satisfaction in winning against someone who has spent money on the game. I've spent a bit myself and I always feel good when I beat a team from a player that has spent more than me!
Bigger Disclaimer - There are tons of servers that have mostly F2P players and there are WAY more F2P players that can reach top brackets than you know of...
O
so there should be 3 servers, f2p, p2p and p2w ?
p2w doesnt really work that well when they are facing other p2w.
Sounds like a scary nightmare to me. I always say that, when you feel coerced to do anything, it's usually not healthy. You should feel like, when money is spent that you feel like you are getting a good buy, not this setup.....
Does that mean you avoid attacking f2p players in arena because you aren't p2w? Ahaha yeah that's what I thought

I am just trying to understand the rationale behind clumping both classes into one set of servers.
When someone signs up to play on day 1, no one has committed to paying anything. There is not a "MAGIC" way to detect a potential supported from a potential leech. The game must lure players into paying (supporting) constantly, turning long term free players into some form of a spender.
I am trying to understand the rational behind why God didnt make everyone psychic. The least he could have done is make everyone equally smart!
Maybe it's just me but if I was p2w then I want to compete against other tricked out max level/gear/power p2w team and not run over f2p teams.
Typically, this is the case. Those who spend move ahead, and usually face others who also paid to move ahead. It is not always the case, but you imply that players who have made some form of an investment did so in order to beat you.
I would be cool in SWGoH was created based on pay style. If your total payment towards ingame purchases was above x amount of dollars, you get switched to a P2W server.
So. Besides the obvious pay luring the game needs to do to be profitable, you want them to put up a wall that shields you from the effects of their lure. Why stop there? Your reasoning made it past "This game should have zero cost, and everything should be free!" but couldnt get your logic around this conundrum?
I dont think this needs to be clarified, but heres a nib. No Free to play player would EVER cross the pay wall! Thus, going off of the first issue, no player would ever buy anything. Ever!

So you conclude by stating the obvious separation between P2P and F2P inherent in the system, the very thing all of your rambling is attacking...
The real conclusion, is you want to be the top guy. Your ego pulls on you for it. You want someone to put you there without much effort from you. Dig deep. Think about it. You'll find that the motivator which compelled you to come to the forums in outrage was actually a symptom of of a small wiener.
F2P server would be great. thx
Lets see you compete in a heroic raid against people with all lvl 80 maxed geared toons, then come back and say p2p don't have a real advantage. Also when metas change.
In reply to the OP, because that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Pray you never have to make any business decisions.
Now that it's all covered lets do it!
O
Your kinda killing the F2P model with a subscription...
