It's the principle.

The game operates on a Pay to Play scheme. For $13-$15 a month, I expect to be able to experience all that the game has to offer. P2P was actually made the game appealing to me because I knew I wouldn't have to deal with Pay to Win or Cash Shops. Yes, I am entitled because I paid money for it.

That said, I am reserving my judgement until it has been confirmed that SE will be charging real money for the Gold Plan. For all we know, the Gold Plan may cost us gil,which is really how it is supposed to be.
