Even without progression tabs people were grinding and hoping for the High rune. What’s kinda funny is thw fact buying progression (i.e. Items and runes) on thoses ‘illegal’ sites was more reasonable in price. The only danger the current iteration of f2p games has, is the graphical fidelity. In other aspects premium games are still better. We just need to teach the new generation, that there is more than f2p.
