I wanted to try this game but i saw now it gives huge disadvantages towards free to play people. Not what i consider a good game and i am strongly against such behaviour.

Good luck with your game nonetheless 

The only "advantage" that premium players get is more xp/cash and access to full gang management functions.

Agreeing with nighthawk. Paid users don't get that much...

I managed to do decently well as a F2P member.

I find it funny that when people lose they either say "He's using a cheap shotgun!" or "Oh, he's a P2P player - who cares."

Spend the time you spent venting and level up.

 As a lvl 50, I had considered canceling my subscription as there really isn't as much reason to get it (I wanted the XP boost) but I didn't because I love the game so much, I'd rather continue contributing to it so they can make even better content for us in the future.

Seein happy players like this brings a warmth to my heart and a tear to my eye :)

you don't need to pay for the game, its just a nice bonus, you can be as good as a premium if u want to, it just takes a bit longer.

As a F2P player myself, their are no issues when taking on Premium or Deluxe members, its all in there xp and cash really.

I was F2P for a little while before I went premium. The bonus xp/cash/loot was a really nice draw to go premium, not to mention the 90 GBs a month and the free item. Besides levelling up faster and getting more cash/loot, I saw no real big advantage. I honestly can't tell who is premium and who is not. I can only see who might have purchased from the Black Market based on the gear they are wearing.

In my opinion, I think those that are buying Gold Bars and then spending them on the Black Market are the ones who have the advantage. You can get some pretty nice stuff early on, if you are willing to spend the money for it.

 Yeeah that's not eactly true. It does make a difference whether you're up against a f2p guy with normal gear or a p2p guy with 50% resists to everything. In case you're wondering, it takes twice as many bullets/grenades/bombs to kill the second guy. Skill and teamwork is still more important though, and that's what keeps me playing. But honestly, I think they should tone down the store armor a bit. A DR cap around 25% on all armor would still be useful without making you that much stronger than the average joe.

Yeeah that's not eactly true. p2p sure can get gear from black market, but the gear available in-game are better (trust me) but may be harder to get. and f2p can get 50% (with drugs or card set) as the p2p players. The stuff in black market are for those who rather spend money than time, but both players are equal at the end.
