Instead, they can make $$$ on them this way; and that's perfectly fine. But don't say that's not what these items are for. It's the same reason why Collector's Editions even exist.
Huh? They didn't take anything out of the game. They've been rewarded through subscription since the first day of service. How are they selling higher subscriptions? When I pay for the 12th month of play in game, I'll get the rewards for that time. Now, you probably mean the desperate people who need to have everything yesterday. Those? Well, as it goes like almost in every aspect of business, if you want something early, you have to pay the price for it. If they stop playing before their subscription expires, their problem as it was their decision, no one but their need to have it instantly forced them to do that.
