When did I say that? Someone said F2P MMO cash shops are better than XIV cash shops and I'm just mentioning how that's so far from the truth. Sure criticize the XIV cash shop if you want to, but making claims like how cash shops in F2P MMOs are handled better than XIV is a huge lie.

Then I am confused as to the purpose of your defence of SE's double dipping practices if not to try and shut down criticisms against xiv's cash shop because.....

Even if those are part of the non-paying experience, what is in their paying experience is far far far worse than anything in XIV.

F2P games done right should not have a negative feeling paying experience. I've never felt robbed by a purchase in wildstar, GW2, or warframe, because they are free games that have been handled well. They've all got some kind of integration where free players can access cash shop content if they play the game enough. Don't want to buy madame fey coins in wildstar but want the goodies? Make the plat to buy it off the auction house when people eventually sell them. Don't want to buy black lion keys in GW2? Same deal, buy the skins off the trading post. Want a cool new skin in warframe? Farm up some prime parts or rare mods and trade players for cash shop currency.
The F2P mmo market is no longer the korean p2w grinding wastelands it once was. Naunet's specific f2p experiences are accurate and valid.

This bias against f2p games makes it look like you're setting the bar lower for SE because we don't have lockboxes on our cash shop.
And if you're not, I truly do not understand the point of your hyperbolic attempt to invalidate Naunet's experiences.
