nope. game is good, but i'm not interested in the ingame store.

You can find supercredits on missions. I've unlocked the premium battlepass and bought some armor without spending a dime of real money.

Yeah I know, still not interested in any battlepasses, never was. I usually quit as soon as any game start their "Season of the..." crap and return to my evergreen Guild Wars 2.

I also got me a decent looking outfit already and the stats fit my playstyle, so I'm pretty much playing the game for fun now with no interest in any additional unlocks besides stratagems and ship upgrades.

Lol the downvotes...

Ah I get you. Just so you know, the battlepasses are more like level unlocks than typical battlepasses, but you probably know that. Also, old battlepasses that you didn't finish or even start will stay in the game permanently, so don't feel like there's a rush to finish them.

You are not using war bonds? I'm very confused. This is how you unlock more gear and you don't have to pay for anything.

Also all of their war bond passes stay with you forever, you don't have to finish them before season is over or whatever.

Im using warbonds, just not the premium stuff since nothing there I desire and I don't search the map for that currency.

Ah ok. I was worried that you were locking yourself out of the progression system. That makes sense.

Premium currency is freely available on missions and it's not hard to accrue enough to make frequent buys in the money store without spending a cent. The problem becomes the amount of time I spend in game, which doesn't feel like a problem.
