Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

... it divides a single experience into a "free" one, which feels cheap, watered down and uncomplete, and the complete one, the one that "should have been" and makes it premium, behind a paywall....

The so called "free one" is just base level service. And there is a premium one. Calling is incomplete or watered down in comparison to the premium one is just word games. Seriously think about it. Would people pay more ship things overnight, priority, or regular? Do people pay more for that Lexus logo along with interior upgrades over a basic Toyota? Do people pay for 1st class for airlines over economy class? Do people pay more for supersized at McDonalds over regular dollar value meals? Sure the Toyota, economy class, feels less plush (watered down, incomplete, etc. etc.), are they really not viable? I would argue what they provide at the base level is both complete and more than adequate, but the premium is over-the-top for those that what to pay for the luxuries which is usually not the best money decisions.

As much as I like to promote a more inclusive, more just, and more fair world in game and in real life. Giving people the freedom/option to pay more for what they feels is more (whether it is more/better or not is always open to debate, foolish people overpaying for their faux gold iPhoneys come to mind) is a fundamental right of a free and open society. I will always try to impress on the those who are able and those who are better off should always help those who are less fortunate, because we all are out brothers keepers, we have a responsibility to one another. And granted NOT all things/services can or should be sold for the dollar, or for a dollar more, but within ethical bounds, to say to someone else they can not have the freedom to pay for a more premium experience seems like too much infringement on their freedoms, and it is also unfair to SE to shackle them to providing only plain jane vanilla flavor as an one-size-fits-all.
