LoL does nerfed XP unless you play for boosts and that's the most succesful free to play game in the world. HELL, that's the most successful online game in the world / let alone free to play.

Nerfing down XP gain in free to play is widely done, and accepted.

Agree the rest of there model is somewhat retarded however.




Everyone on Bluesnews is synical, get over it. edit: i cant spell, this is my disclaimer.
