    The problem most people seem to have is mainly that there is a subscription attached in the first place which seems to be the main point of the thread. If the model was a buy game, no sub, there would be a lot less resistance to a cash shop.

    You already have to purchase the game, and on top of that you lose access to everything you already purchased (including cash shop items) if you don't pay the subscription.

    I guess in the simplest terms you could say some people think the subscription fee is already paying extra.

    Yes and the game was included in the purchase and the playing and social aspect paid by the sub. Extra things after that should be charged for as they would be in any business model.

    Again, they feel with the subscription that they are paying enough and it should cover the extras. This isn't a "Well SE shouldn't be able to make money", no one is getting anything for free in the first place everyone is paying some amount of money.

    The subscription is already paying all the patches
