4Story was my first MMO (Runescape not counting, though it required (rather reasonable) premium, too).

Fuck that game. Fuck it hard. If you didn't pump all your cash in you couldn't even beat the monsters in the freaking lvl 20 swamp, or even have a positive cash balance from repairing your non-RLcash-upgraded equipment, which isn't worth much more than your fists and bare skin when not having cost you 20 fucking dollars/yuros per piece.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

Sure you can have the best ship in your tier, but you still need skill to be competitive.
Star Conflict = WoT in space :D

Natural balance. You can buy your way to a ridiculously powerful spaceship, but your WTFLOLPWN capship is useless against that one little bastard who knows the game, and flies his fighter into that blind spot you can't quiiiiite reach.

However, letting people insta-expert is :/

Yeah but it doesn't seem so bad in games where there's an actual skill requirement.
