There were plenty of things that weren't normal and now are an Industry Standard due to other P2P MMOs and players years ago.

I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion here. This is my own and if the game goes true PTW with P2P, my 11 years with SE on P2P services will most likely stop.
Right, and if I played WoW I'd be against that too. In fact, from the people I know that do play WoW, I haven't heard a single person in favor of the Character Boost thing. I also don't think the retainers are P2W, but I'm not gonna pretend they don't offer an advantage, or tell people they should be okay with them offering an advantage. Nor am I gonna say people wanting more space without shelling over additional cash are being entitled or whining. Still stands that people usually go P2P to avoid the whole buying advantages deal, so this is going to anger them, and understandably so. Yet people act like they're so surprised and people have no right to be upset.

Yeah people blow it out of proportion (it's definitely not P2W), yes SE is going to make money however they want, or in ways they think is best (I hardly think SE is out to look out for the players beyond just trying to make sure players stay so they can get more money.. they are hardly doing things out of the kindness of their hearts).. people don't have to be happy with what they choose. It also doesn't mean that people need to be happy and just take whatever SE throws at them because SE is just trying to make money.

Now, in that same breath, throwing a huff on the forums likely isn't going to make anything changed. Kinda like RMT.. no one seems to like it, but it's always around cause there are strangely always customers.
