Over-priced Microtransactions!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

[AlliciaCapulet]

Our subscriptions pay for the monthly updates and major patches every 2-3 months. If we didn't pay subs, then all we would get is the initial content at release of the expansion with occasional "balance" patches.

The cash shop is all COMPLETELY optional. There is nothing there that gives you an advantage in game of any kind. The development of assets that are sold on the cash shop takes time and resources separate from game development... aka money. That's why they charge for them.

I consider them as luxury goods and only buy them on special occasions: birthdays, Xmas presents, etc.

The team doing the cash shop items are a separate team than the actual Devs. If people didn't buy them, they wouldn't be there at all. Seasonal items being added are a grey area, but understandable as an incentive to keep your subscription going to acquire the items on first release but allowing a chance to pick it up later.

You are brainwashed to the micro transaction system, it's ok for you if you like it and buy it. Here, I'm not buying those item, and I will continue to criticize and not encourage that system. It's ok for you if it's how you see things, but that's not my point of view on gaming. Sadly for me, as long as people like you exixt, people who are ok with this system and buy stuff from it, well that system will stay in place. I just wish that people could stop buying from those microtransaction. I don't blame you, but don't try to convince me that it's ok to have a cash shop AND a subscription, I will always disagree.

Also, it's not because it's the way that things works now that it means it's the way things should be. Over that stupid capitalism, things turned like that for gaming, microtransactions are everywhere now. But it doesn't means we should all accept that because "that's the way it is". But clearly we won't agree here.
