“non-essential” premium content, does SE want this kind of reputation if it continue?

Hmmm I don't understand this whole white Knight theory.

So people who give a perspective how things are unfair are correct for some weird reason that is more emotional than factual, label things as a scam, rip off, ect yet can't prove how ( from a logical point ) are labeled as being correct.

While a person who is knowledgeable, can back up points trough actual facts, links, and sees it as a normal business practice is labeled as a white Knight for the company while still being able to disagree in some of the companies actions?

In return creating a whole new thread is the correct thing to do? Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems more like emotional people are cornered and are really just really running away from reality. Or is this a strategical retreat and creating a new thread is just a way to make themselves think they are right and everything that does not meet their perspective is wrong?

I do not understand how a white knight does not see they are a white knight.
Here people give a perspective how things are unfair, and how this is done in the past, repeated consistently by companies, starting small, and keep pushing how far they can go, instead of self regulating. Explaining in detail why it appears to be on a same path as others such as:

Do you both already played Fair games that become Pay to win over the time? They started with simple moves like these ones from SE. Anything more than cosmetic/glamour is somewhat pay to win. Retainers can control economy, so you pay to win at economy. You can have a lot of retainers, so a lot of ventures, a lot of gill and mats, so pay to win more. As you can see, only with these examples, it's not only cosmetic, while there's much more examples.

only to meet a person stating things on emotion alone, pretends things are "facts" without any argument to back up what they are saying, only to wind up confused why they are being called a white knight, despite others explaining why it is said in the first place:

I see White Knighting as defending something without a critical eye. Basically always saying whatever the dev team releases is good. So basically saying something without thinking things through properly on why perhaps the person could be saying that which opposes what you think. Also if they can't give reasons as for why they defend the content when asked.

Then in turn making threads that satire and mock those that are giving SE well deserved criticism.

I got no idea why I am even bothering explaining this to someone that does not understand they are already paying for a game only to have features gut out or missing, then happy to pay for extra. Ya real logical *rolls eyes* I guess another definition would be, white knights magically forget there is a sub cost to this game, high mog station costs, extra sub costs (retainers) only to have another sub cost to gate a sub cost, along with buying expansions.
