Is it possible to buy levels in the cash shop?

    The cash shop is bugging out for me and refusing to load or let me see details about the items, but..

    It appears that you can instantly buy a potion that boosts you to whatever level you paid for? Seems pretty pay2win and awful to me, am I wrong?

    Not that I've ever seen. I wouldn't call that pay 2 win, I'd call that pay to bypass the boring questing.

    Is wow pay 2 win because you can buy a lvl 90?

    I would never pay to level a toon in a game where i dont' have any max level toons. If I already have max level toons, it doesn't bother me. HOWEVER.... this is one game where I don't care if they let you skip the boring questing. The combat in this game is my favorite across all MMO's, but I could never stick with it more than a few weeks because questing just bored me to death, literally, I think I died a little inside because of the questing.

    For me Tera, I dont' think, is something I'll never come back to. But that's not because it's not fun, I think parts of it rock. Just now I'm really invested in other MMO's that I rotate between every few months and Tera won't be part of that for now.

    Either way, I support by passing levels in this game.

    I agree about not paying to level a character ever .This is how I feel about ESO. I would definitely buy VR14 alts instead of that insane veteran rank grind through all the same exact quests.

    In truth, it does count as pay 2 win. Just because he's not paying for powerful weapons doesn't mean he isn't paying to win. When you level up a character in ANY game, their stats get stronger. So yeah, paying to level the character is pay 2 win. And it's even worse than paying for powerful weapons.

    I don't consider it pay to win because you are still able to level up on your own through quests/grinding. To me, to be considered pay to win, it would have to be something that is only obtainable in the cash shop and you can't obtain it anywhere else. Now to bypass leveling, it makes it so that a person doesn't have to worry about questing (however I would not do it if I were completely new to the game).

    As far as I know no, this feature needs to be yet implemented but I hope it won't be as it would be really an humongous pro to have such advantage.
