I really like the look of this piggy and was already excited about it when it was datamined. I rather dislike the inventory increase mechanic, either, though. Also, this will likely mean the boar will be much more expensive than regular pets, for 5 measly inventory slots I personally don't need (bank space, on the other hand...).

If it is, in fact, earnable in game, then it's cool, and this thread was premature. I guess we'll see.
We are way past the beginning IMO. They've danced on the line for a bit, this is clear cross the line and inching slowly forward.
Actually, I already decided on "Boaris".lordrichter wrote: »By the way... if you buy this, name it "Zenimax Online Studios". The description even fits! Hungry and Hungrier!

Any character upgrades you can buy in the crown store that you cannot get in game are P2W imo.
This is simply not true. firstly you can obtain them via ingame means - buy the crowns via gold.
Secondly to "win" they need to be a combat advantage above that of an ingame item. 5 inventory doesn't currently do damage or increase healing.

All the BiS gear or even entire parts of the game(jewelrycrafting/transmutation) locked behind paywall and this is what people label as pay to win.
As I said time and time again this community truly has absolutely no clue as to what is pay to win and what is convenience.

It has the potential, and that is the concern.
Well, yeah... but just compare it to ESO+ and ask a question what should be bigger concern....thesoundofwolf wrote: »starkerealm wrote: »

This is on the PTS:
On the surface I'm fine with this little critter, except, this one actually increases your inventory, permanently.
So, that's a character with a max inventory capacity of 205.
This is not okay. Maybe if it's going to be available in game, somehow, and then also as a crown buy around. But, I seriously hope this thing shows up somewhere else in the game and isn't a crown store exclusive, or that's going to be paying for advantages, not just convenience.

Anything that gives you an advantage over others is pay to win or pay to play you can call it convenience all you like but for everyone without money to just throw into the game that's the pay part of it all its an limitation given to them solely because of the fact they don't have the money
