In Skyforge , the term “Pay2Win” is not welcome in the forums. Those who violate this rule may be removed from the beta.
In the English-speaking forum of Skyforge, there is a comment from the community manager “Maeron” that attracts attention. He explains that it is part of a Free2Play title’s responsibilities to clarify its model to the community. Often, there are reservations regarding this model. However, when speaking with the community, these reservations can be alleviated and potential misunderstandings resolved.
However, when people start talking about “Pay2Win”, that is no longer acceptable. Especially when the term appears pretty much everywhere, it is damaging, as it tarnishes the image of the game even before it has been released.
Therefore, they are happy to explain the payment model but do not tolerate an oversimplified representation of the payment model, nor the term “Pay2Win.”
For these reasons, we will strive to provide answers to our members in need of details regarding our monetization – but in turn, we won’t tolerate the word P2W as of today, nor tolerate oversimplification of monetization in topics.
When the open beta begins, everyone will have the opportunity to form their own opinion about the business model.
Those who repeatedly violate these rules may lose their forum rights and beta access.

Update 21:20: The community manager apologized after several international sites picked up the story. That was not the intention, he did not wish to censor anyone and seems to have overstepped.
