Just a bunch of overreacting until the next time there's just a bunch of overreacting. Zzz. Welcome to online gaming forums!
To go with this I'd also like to know which games do that and still have a subscription. Not only that but maintain full sub fees while significantly reducing staff and content. Like if the game was f2p and you could pay for stuff that was neet but wasn't needed I think there would be a lot less outrage
Spoiler alert, there isn't one, simply put nobody has a sub fee and still has something like this, heck for most games, extra space is a one time fee, which is more palatable to almost everyone (me included) also, almost all the ones that I can think of that sell space are free to play in the first place which is a different discussion altogether.
It all began with a mog wardobe 3 & 4 microtransaction...
So the legend says...
Oh dear, I guess no one has heard of World of Warcraft then? Heck, they went full crazy and allowed you to buy your way to level 100 as well! Oh, and the subscription is still comparable to FFXI. But, I guess it doesn't count if it offers a counterpoint to your arguments...
BRRRT Not true: https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/game/wow
Not the level 100 part, the buying extra inventory space with RL dollars part.
In fact, their entire cash shop is as follows:
12 Pets, 10 Mounts, 3 Visual Effect only Helms, Appearance Change, Character Transfer, Faction Change, Guild Rename, Guild Faction Change, Name Change, Race Change, Lv100 Boost (The only one I'd take offense at.)
I wonder what will be next, optional fee-based equipsets.?
Who would buy that?
Things I would be ok with are:
Cosmetics (NEW ONES) Why don't they already do this? Cosmetics are a huge money maker and to a lot of players more important to their enjoyment of the game than actual stat items.
Cosmetics (out of holiday seasonal ones)
Echad / trizek ring buying them when they aren't available for free.
CP boosters (I and a lot of other people who have less time to grind and less than stellar gear would buy these, it would also stop people being forced to bot CP)
Trusts (only if there is also a way to get them ingame and only certain ones)
Race change (i don't care if the old race stats can't be changed, it's cosmetic most people care about) / face change / name change
Mounts!
Take my money!
