If people really feel that a year of game time was not worth their purchase price, they shouldn't still be here. It's a load of crap. The people that are here, and are actually playing, like this game. They can lie all they want. Those that don't play and are just posting whine posts in the forums are nothing more than trolls since they don't play so what should it matter whether or not players are getting charged.

Either way you slice it, put up or shut up.
People being realistic and acknowledging the fact that this game is still behind where any decent AAA MMO would be at launch does not mean they are trolls. People voicing their opinion that it still is not worth paying for does not mean they are trolls.

People defending this game as if it's loaded with unique content and calling everyone who disagrees a troll would be a white knight. You, sir, are white knighting. Nobody says you cannot like the game. Nobody says you cannot pay for the game. If you like it and want to pay, that is fine. You do not need to tear people down who are actually being realistic and voicing their frustrations over SE deciding to charge again when the state of the game is still pretty bad. Leagues ahead of what it was at launch, yes, but that's not saying much.

I'll be glad once they start charging. Then all of the people in this forum who label someone a troll for discussing the negative opinions will see that it's not just "trolls" who quit. It's friends, LS members, that crafter who always bought your items, your supplier in the MW, etc. When people finally are lured out of this false sense of security by fansite polls and notice that the world seems a lot smaller after the charge, maybe then you'll stop and think about how your attitude is not conducive to a good community and you were part of the problem, as you sit in the city unable to find players as fast as usual.
