Cash shop confirmed

[tocsin]

Cash shop is up.

Sleipnir Mount: £13.80 (that's $22?)

Unjustifiable.

Just checked, its US $24.

Definitely unjustifiably priced.

the price of TWO MONTHS subscription, for a single mount? that's extortion level prices.

Lol extortion, nah my boss who makes 12 million per year and is required to pay $15k per month in child support because of threats from legal officials, he knows what extortion is.

If lil Bucky the redneck can slip a $5 dollar minion under his parents radar and get away with it, the bosses 8 kids can buy it all and he wont even notice.

If you dont buy anything they wont notice either, we get it you dont like a cash shop in 14, like Tupsi said noone is forcing you to buy anything.

Just for the record i have never liked cash shops either, but you and i are just little baitfish in a world full of sharks with platinum credit cards and no time to watch what the kid is spending while making all that money.

And extortion never crossed their minds, because this isn't extortion.
