He assumes you are broke because you are not paying the megabucks to buy one off the players that are in JAnus. That is the kind of money you need to play there. Just as a FYI, premium weapons are not for sale in the IM. Beyond the Upgrade weapons and the Epics before them, they never were. You had to make them or buy them from the Exchange like any other server when trying to get premium weapons. It is not broken, just obscenely expensive.
I'm sure SEA will be cheaper to start. But you will get the same there. If you want the best weapons, you will have to either be lucky enough to make them or buy them from other players at stupidly high prices.
I am still LOLing at the epic backpedal PlayWith is doing by re-opening servers there after previously closing them. Hilarious!
