Everquest 1 and 2, FFXI, WoW for... 7 years?, EVE (PLEX maybe, but even that is regulated through the market itself) would say otherwise. If SE can't afford to keep their dev and servers up (which is BS since Yoshi himself said they only need 500k+ players to keep it alive) then they should raise the sub rate, not gate content behind a paywall. MMOs were able to operate no problem without a cash shop before. Stop making up excuses for SE, a multi-million dollar corporation isn't "your friend".
