Honestly, let SE make as much money as they can.

Geez, folks. Chicken Little much? Instead of freaking out about it, you could...not buy the stuff? Seriously, Elder Scrolls Online is doing stuff way worse then this, and it's not even out yet. Have to buy the collectors edition to have access to a whole race, and they have mounts for sale in the real money store. Not, like, special mounts. The standard mounts that cost stupid amounts of in game money to buy. Seriously, Fantasia, server transfers, vanity gear, and extra retainers are small popotoes in comparison. When they actually start locking coil sections, instant level 50s, and a playable Moogle race behind paywalls, then we can talk.

(Crap about bending over and letting a company double dip its customers just because other crappy companies do it)

Fantasia, server transfers, and a big maybe to extra retainers sure. But the day they add any sort of vanity cash shop is the day the game starts a quick downward spiral to double dipping its customers. I don't give a crap if WoW or any amount of garbage F2P mmos do it. I'm paying the monthly fee and if every bit of vanity, gear, and mounts or content in general in the game isn't available to be earned through gameplay I'm not paying. I pay specifically to keep away from the crappy games that pull that bs.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

See, I can do it, too.

You basically just agreed to every point I made. It's just that I'm optimistic, and said putting stuff like that in is simply a possibility, wheres you fear its an inevitability. No need to be a jackass about it.
