Character Slot Fee even for your first (only) character?

Isn't it obvious why they do this? It's a marketing scheme to dupe the simple-minded. And stuff like this works too. Why do you think retailers mark something as 9.99 when it's obviously 10 bucks?

What I don't understand is why people are maknig such a big deal about this... This is how they choose to set their business layout, and try to understand that not everyone wants it to be one flat rate... I would rather see what I'm paying for, 6.99 for my basic service and 3.00 for my character is perfectly ok with me.

this is the actual reason.
its like when ordering cable in los angeles. you see certain packages advertised but what they dont tell you is that you aslo have to pay for this or that in order to get the package, you then either see a massive charger you didnt know about on your CC or you find you cant afford the package because the commercial said nothing about having to have 8 phone lines...
