While I can understand pay to skip and how it would get more new players in, I feel it would devalue the hours, weeks, months and years of work and enjoyment players of put into the game. Heaven knows what it would mean for the continuity of the lore behind the game. I know DE are wizards and sorcerers but I really don't see how this would work. Where would you skip to going forward? The start of Whispers, obviously, but would we have another skip to the start of the next major update and so on every year? It would be easier to issue bite-sized sections of the game and charge real money, kind of like Destiny 2's Season.
I'm really scared for the future of Warframe if this goes ahead.
