Re: What does "Free" Mean?

I honestly find New World's system to be the most useful. Is there money involved in the transaction or not? Yes? How is it involved? You've answered the basic question that people want to know, and you've added the details they need to know. It's an expansion of the two choice system that I like VERY much. I find it to be more accurate as well as more helpful to players.

I know that if I want to play a free game, then I want no money to be involved at all. That way, there's no sneaky ways that money come into play that can't be gauged otherwise.

I think it's easy to see why many people want the four option system. Most of them do fall into one category, but that category also has a TON of wiggle room and is impossible to enforce. Until you can get rid of the word "rewarded", we'll just keep having the "free" discussion every few months, and people will keep flaming each other over it every few months.
