During the alpha-test of Amazon’s MMORPG New World, players have discovered that the company may be planning to sell quality-of-life items or boosts that will help players improve their time spent leveling up their character and trade skill experience in the in-game storefront. This revelation sparked a lively Reddit discussion among the players unhappy with the possibility of the game turning pay-to-win (P2W).
