Hello, Warriors, We've seen your questions and concerns about fairness and "Pay-to-Win" in Glory Frontline. We want to take a moment to introduce our principles of fair play and thank you for asking these tough but incredibly important questions. First, let us be perfectly clear: We dislike "Pay-to-Win" as much as you do. The entire design philosophy behind Glory Frontline is to create a world where victory is determined by skill, strategy, and sharp hearing—not by the size of your wallet. So, how is fairness achieved in Glory Frontline?

The Battlefield is Mastered by Skill, Not by Sight or Spending: Our greatest challenge and proudest achievement is the game's inclusive balance. Through thousands of hours of testing with both visually impaired and sighted players, we have designed a combat system where audio cues and visual information provide equally valuable feedback. In fact, our data shows that new players who rely on their hearing often have a slight initial advantage due to their heightened focus! As all players master the mechanics, success ultimately comes down to your reaction time, tactical decisions, and mastery of sound. It has nothing to do with your vision or your spending. Finally, we can all fight side-by-side, on equal terms, using the control schemes we're most comfortable with.

In-App Purchases are About "Choice & Progression," Not "Power": Yes, there will be in-app purchases like weekly/monthly passes. However, our philosophy is to offer more options, not more power. Here’s what this means: Accelerated Progression: Paid options might help you unlock different weapons or training upgrades faster, but every one of these items can be fully earned through normal gameplay. You are paying for convenience, not for an exclusive, game-breaking item. Strategic Diversity: The "Gunsmith System" allows for deep weapon customization. A paying player might quickly unlock a set of attachments for a stealth build, while a free-to-play player can craft the exact same build by investing time. The end result is a difference in tactical choice, not a guaranteed win.

Gameplay Mechanics Reward Strategy: We have built deep tactical systems to ensure that a skilled player, regardless of their gear, will always have the upper hand against a less strategic opponent. Effective Range: Every weapon has an optimal combat distance. A player who buys a top-tier weapon will still be vulnerable up close if they fail to switch weapons effectively based on what they hear. Soldier Fitness Training: You can improve your reaction speed and movement efficiency through the in-game training system, but this rewards the time and effort you put in.

Glory Frontline is more than just a game; it's a mission to prove that a truly inclusive world can exist—a world where passion and skill are what matter most.
