Well, forgive me if I remain unconvinced that my opinion is invalidated just because you spent less money than I did for the same thing. <_<

Back to the discussion, I'm fine with phantasia being in the cash shop, they give out like one free phantasia as veteran rewards. I'm fine with the marriage kit in the cash shop, Those are understandable new content. I'm fine with name change fees. World transfer fees are Bleh, but whatever. But old content previously available for "free" but now added as micro- transactions? That seems way too different and irksome to me

I don't know how people got the assumption that without charging previous free content, SE would have no budget at all to develop new seasonal content... As far as I can tell, there is no crown on the topic. No one from the higher ups release officially a spreadsheet showing the percentage of profits from previous event micro transaction earnings being assigned to fund which holiday content development.

Of course SE is a business. We all know that. But they have a reputation to keep. Notice how many pages this topic has? The impact with the subscribers is undeniable.
