Works for Dota 2. Also, see Loadout, they got a good in-game store.

Haha, I must admit that's a new idea  :lol:

Would it work? Probably.

Would it completely ruin the community, draw in the biggest lowlifes, scumbags and cheaters? Definitely.

Dude I hate to tell you but NA is already that way lol. 

I know what you're saying though.  Hacking would be a major problem.  People would go out of their way to cheat etc.  I suppose that would be incredibly difficult to prevent when there is real money on the line.

In game stores aren't bad but.....  Eventually.... the devs start creating things for money rather than balance.  It becomes pay to win.  Buy this new super item and be better than everyone else.  It may last for a while but will eventually kill the player base.

If there are things in the store that require balance (i.e. not cosmetics), it's already pay2win from the start.
I don't know about Loadout, but Dota 2 is the perfect example of a game completely free from pay2win items, despite having a massive store/marketplace.

Nothing at all, imo.

Can you imagine, the heavy kuyak vaegir mask set for 10€.

Huehue, and only the true old-schoolers would know how gay they are, the ultimate scam.

You're right, there's no e-sports shit in cRPG, which explains why our community is superior and never attempts to break anything:rolleyes:

I thought 'e-sport' was just a new hip word that means 'Take too seriously, obsessed with performance and K/D', how is cRPG not one?
E-sport is more about nice games with skilled players, a good show, an event (like watching a match) etc...
I went to the Paris Games Week this year, for the E-sport world competition, and that was really nice.

And if someone doesn't like the e-sport, no one is forcing him to do so :)
If he wants to play on normal server  he is free to do so.
So where is the problem ?  :D

I thought it was more about it being competitive, watched and playing for money

Does it have e sport potential: No it doesn't have enough hype or player base, also the fact that it is not even out yet.

Maybe to some, but that's certainly not how it's being used in this thread and I wouldn't say it's proper use of the term. Generally people are talking about the "scene" and whether or not one exists. It's the difference between pub play, and organized play, generally in the form of tournaments/matches. Money is irrelevant, but tends to increase the size of the community. Up until you reach a certain tipping point, you just have "events" like what we have in cRPG, where occasionally you have a tournament or two, and often only involving a few players with very little practice/preparation before each match. Your e-sports scene is completely separate from public servers, therefore public performance or k/d is irrelevant.

For every one kill, you have one death. As with most competitive team games, when you actually get to the "e-sports" scene(the competitive scene), most people stop caring about k:d ratios, as the team victory is what's most important. Just take Dota for example, the game would be another League of Legends if everyone just cared about their own K:D ratio. FPS games are unique in that they're just about the only competitive games (physical sports included) where each person on the team is (nearly)every bit as capable of "big plays" or "putting up numbers", as the next.

Does it have e sport potential: No it doesn't have enough hype or player base, also the fact that it is not even out yet.
Uhhh... Isn't that why he used the word "potential"? All of those three things can only happen after open beta.
