Of course you can buy different things with WP then with Au. But if you were allowed to buy WP for money it wouldn't be different from Au. You could just remove WP, take those weapons/bots you buy with WP and give them some ridiculous Au prices.

Now I've played this game for exactly 5 days (yeah I'm a noob :D, but that doesn't matter now). In 5 days I reached level 20 without using real money and that is really fast. If I could buy the level 20 weapons/bots I would then meet experienced players who have played this game much longer. I presume that is the reason why WP exists so that people like me wouldn't meet more experienced players.

Honestly, it's the first game I've played that has more then 2 currencies. In most games currencies work like this:

1/ Silver - normal currency, you get fair amount of it every game

- used for buying things that are usually less powerful then the gold things

2/ Gold - premium currency, you won't get much of it every game (if you even get any)

- used for things like speeding up your progress, buying more powerful robots, weapons, ammo

- just for getting things that not everyone can get (or they get them by playing longer)
