Cash shop confirmed

[RaddCuban]

I wonder how many people will unsubscribe, I had a couple friends tell me they weren't going to renew next month because of it.

I've already cancelled my recurring subscription. I still have a large amount of paid game time that I will make full use of, as I buy my time in the 180 days chunks, but unless the state of affairs changes over the course of that time that shall be it.

Part of Saeedaisspecial's post is commenting that this is a development decision that has to be made. When thinking through that statement the thought "sure, those or as a veteran reward I guess" kept coming up in head. To prevent this thought from becoming sentient and taking over my frontal lobe, I typed it out and included a statement basically stating that it was a non-sequitor.

But hey! Thanks for picking out the completely non-salient point there RaddCuban. Thumbs up!

I brought it up because several times through out the discussion the CE and the digital CE upgrade have been brought up as being basically the same as a cash shop when they are not. Demonizing account upgrades by conflating them with Cash Shop purchases, something that also applies to the promotional codes on merchandise, is something that has been bugging me through out this thread, the entirety of which I've read.
