many people don't buy the warframes (suits) with platinum. In fact, many don't use platinum at all. There are ways you can build the stuff and for most, it is more satisfying to figure out what materials you need, how to get them and build it yourself. i've only spent about $20 worth of platinum on this game. I'm no fan of free-to-play games, especially when they let you skate by long enough to get you hooked, right about the time you hit a wall and can't seem to progress any further unless you buy some stuff. This is not one of them. I agree that the platinum prices to have "instant access" to certain things is astronomically high, it really isn't a big pain to build most of it. Some will require more grinding than others, but I'll tell you the game wouldn't be half as fun if you had an umlimited supply of platinum.

Give it a chance solid chance and you'll find the platinum to be convenient at times, but very optional.
