They should just make the BAR only purchased with a different currency other than Gralats that you actually have to pay money for. You know, like actual Pay2Win games do it.
Era isn't Pay2Win. Era is Pay2GetBetterFaster
Anything in Era, you can honestly get within a week of doing jobs without paying a cent. There is no Pay wall to progress. There is no required payments to be made to obtain the best gear.
It's a grind so that not every single noob has all the good ****. Imagine if everyone had a BAR or a PBP. Then you would all be complaining about how unplayable the game is.
Era is still the better server of the 3 released imo. I mean, unless you would rather go buy hats.
