What's your limit?

For me, I could buy a max hanger, and other than the somewhat embarrassing conversation with the missus about why, it wouldn't much impact the family budget. I have spent money on this game (less than $100 over a year and change) roughly evenly split between myself and gifts for others. I haven't spent money on this game since the launch of the Wild Bots, and have no plans to spend any more. The main reason is I don't see the value.

War Robots is fun. More than it isn't. But spending money on the game wouldn't improve the fun quotient. The Inflation Rate in this game is 'uge - an appearant half-life of about 3 months. If Pixonic had a commitment to balance and their products held value, they could expect $400 - $600 a year from me. As it is, I am content to try my skill with Workshop / Ag / Au gear leveled to 5/9 and go grab an adult beverage when Matchmaker has one of its frequent seizures.

Used to be a regular spender, twenty a month or so, but the inflation is really discouraging and I don't think it's doing the game any wonders in the long run, hence why I've stopped spending and am enjoying what I do have until I no longer can't.

I used to spend up to $500 a year on mobile games. Spent my share on War Robots, too. But as all 3 "f2p" games I played a lot all turned into p2w (and right now it seems that every single game on the market uses the fecking loot boxes), I became much more sensitive towards monetization. I will still spend money on games if I play them for long enough, but only if I consider their monetization scheme as fair (that is, not p2w).

I do feel that games deserve my money if I get enjoyment out of them. But my spending is way down, maybe $5-$10 per month, and $0 for War Robots, as I still refuse to give Pixo even one more cent.

I have spent around $600 over this year, mostly in the events. I agree about the half life of the gear and the current costs of the gear stated by other posters. I also take into account the value of the game itself to me. I see that value declining rapidly over the last few updates, particularly the reluctance to address the game mechanics issues. I am looking to go back to PC gaming. When my premium runs out at the end of the month so will I.

My limit is 600g for .99 cents. That’s the only deal I ever buy. And sometimes I skip It too.

I am dropping $20 on christmas as my first purchase, maybe more but $40 is the maximum I will EVER spend in one go. It just doesn't make sense to spend more than that.

I don't know if you guys have heard of this, but I used to play a game called Wizard101. I quit around mid-september. It is a fun game, but it is pay to play. It is worth it, as the gameplay is engaging and you make a lot of friends, but the reason I quit is because the game became P2W. There is this thing called PvP which stands for player vs player, and people were spending hundreds of dollars just to get a couple spells (you use spells to attack). These spells were "broken" in a sense that they broke the game because they were too powerful. I had to leave a lot of friends, and it was hard, but I did it. Also the community became toxic to me (excluding my friends). Long story short, I named my character something, and it turns out (I didn't even know at the time) that the name I chose was the name a famous "Wiztuber" (a person who does wizard101 youtube vids) named BlazeLifehammer chose (BlazeLifehammer is the name BTW).

I REALLY hope War Robots doesn't become that way, because this game is probably one of the best games I've ever played. 

I have a range. its between 0-$15 a month. No financial constraints what so ever but I will not buy a dash bot outright. That sort of pricing should not be supported in my opinion. I haven't spent for a short while but may start spending again as Pix seems to be somewhat trying. the problem is the P2W element.

50 dollars is my limit and I've reached it. I could spend way more, but I draw the line there for every game.

I suppose I could make an exception for a really amazing game, but War Robots with the Shocktrain does not meet that criteria for me.

I think I have dropped around 30€ in the game (I started playing late August), most of them with the 600au offer. I am willing to keep spending that much, maybe more, while I keep playing and enjoying the game.

There is a value problem though, small amounts of money do not bring that much satisfaction and sometimes I pay just to support the app and stockpile resources, but with no spending target in mind. Sure, I could buy a Lancelot and a Fury, but what is the point in buying expensive placeholders when you can use cheap ones while you wait for the wsp offers, events and chests to slowly (and hopefully) provide the premium stuff. I do not see the value in rushing upgrades, as I only level things to mk1 lv 9.

In any case, I do believe Pix is lately giving the chance for non-whales to get the premium stuff (maybe while they polish the new OP salvo). Of course you will not have a full mk2 haechi hangar or be able to compete in equal terms with them, but you can get some dashes and premium weapons. I am happy with the things I got for my money and my time (really a lot of time during events grinding).

Spent a lot before. I got suckered in after winning 3 kbots in the old BM version. Now only when I feel Im getting decent value for money. 600au for 99c every week and a few components when I get close to completing a weapon. I hardly use the Kbots. Legacy bots with the new weapons are the new fun zone.

There are three issues that really repel me about Pixonic's recent strategy: (1) its increasingly reliance on gambling mechanisms and currency obfuscation to massively increase the price of new content; (2) its refusal to reasonably balance new content; and (3) its introduction of pay-2-to-win features like Mk2 and multiple hangers.

I think the War Robots endgame can fairly be described as a contest of skill. If everyone has fully-leveled gear, then skill is going to decide the match. Theoretically, that is still the case. But Pixonic seems determined to protect its whales from ever having to compete on a level playing field.

I have no problem spending on the game but expect to have a reasonable path to acquire an item. The DIESS bots and weapons have a lot of variables tied in to their acquisition and the flat amount is too much for me to justify.
