    Earning Money

    So I've got myself into a situation where the only mission I have is to upgrade the Jackal, I have all the parts I need but am short of around 20,000 coins. Does anyone know the best track for grinding money?

    This is why the whole concept of FTP must fade away and become a horrible memory.
    Games should be played and enjoyed, not a chore.

    urban jungle is the best track for grinding money by a long shot

    should be just over 200 coins for 1 gas, which is approx twice as good as all other tracks in the game

    If you want to play games that require you to grind a bunch to move on then that is your business. I will have a problem with JRPG's when they require you to keep shelling out more money to level up faster. And, by the way, I remember enjoying final fantasy 7 and chrono Trigger without ever having to grind and level up. Those games were designed so you can play straight through if you want.

    I draw the line when the game is designed in such a way that you mindlessly grind for hours on end... or you can pay a few bucks to avoid it. The worst part is you soon run into that same situation again. Its an endless loop and can become a bottomless money pit, you spend and never get anything real in return.

    That's completely reasonable. Grinding in FF normally was optional and made the game easier for you later, but the natural progression made it tough but doable. Unlike F2P where grinding is necessary and slows the pace for the player considerably.

    The more I play Frontier the more I want a buy once option. Or at least make the cost for the items much lower so that the cost can never sum to more than Evo.

    The whole waiting for your fuel tank to refill has gotten old for me pretty fast given how fast it runs out later in the game. The game was fun at first, but the grind is way too slow and the asking price for fuel and fuel tank upgrades is beyond what I'm prepared to invest.

    The core game play may be fun, but the F2P implementation is mercenary. Grinding for 20,000 coins in this game makes trying to grind for $1,000,000 in Evo for a Squirrell helmet look appealing.

    Would love to see an option to purchase seasonal content along with an unlimited fuel tank for that season's content. That would not conflict with the devs desire to provide a dynamic experience and my desire to play as much as I want. This also wouldn't take away RLs ability to milk people for diamonds.
