Talkin' about piracy here, because if you don't want to have multiplayer and microtransactions forced down your throat then this is definetely THE option (unless you can disable online in game and the only downside is not being able to participate in it and gain small rewards from it, like Watch_Dogs for example). You can lose your orcs in singleplayer with this multiplayer feature afaik, maybe I'm wrong. So, if you don't want to buy the game, DON'T BUY IT, and definitely don't complain about it to other players which only annoys people. If they want to commit a crime, then they can risk it and face the consequences (as rare as the consequences are). Also your argument about pirating the game is stupid. I don't think it will have much of an effect. I'm pretty sure you aren't losing anything if you lose a fortress, just go down on the leaderboard. What makes it worse is that I've heard it's like FOB bases in MGS V: The Phantom Pain, which would mean that being attacked by other players and losing your resources isn't optional.

Don't cry about it somewhere where nobody will see it. If you want to complain, email the publisher or developers. If you don't like them, don't buy them, don't buy the game, but PLEASE do not whine about it on every YouTube video related to Middle-earth: Shadow of War and every Steam thread. Honestly I was very pissed at first but what makes me more pissed are the whiny kids complaining everywhere. Who cares about multiplayer anyways? It isn't like you would expect anything else from Warner Bros.

They are actively going out of their way to reward those who complete weekly challenges with premium items, and that's by completing mundane tasks, like do 15 headshots during an online conquest, kill orcs while mounted, etc.Originally posted by LordOfThePickles:Fortunately you'll be able to throw as much money as you want at SoM2 with that fantastic pay 2 win multiplayer :)

It would be nice to think of it as a F U to WB but i think they are just following their directive. They did say that all content from micros would be avaliable for everyone just by playing the game and completing challanges so i say they just be sticking to their word.

It's like they're really going out of their way to make the paid items worthless by giving it for free, simply by doing mundane tasks in the game. The daily and weekly challenges have been too generous to be anything but that. If anything, I say Monolith is giving a subtle middle finger to WB here. It also doesn't help that a challenge finishable within five minutes rewards you with things bought with premium currency. Sure, the MTs are there, but adding to the public outrage, the existence of Mirian and the daily challenges makes MTs worthless anyway.
