I mean, they have more than one subscription option as it is.. so my thought was if they offered that higher priced model for those who do actually want to support the game and the player base of the game, those who wished to could go to that higher model, on the condition that content would be accessible to everyone. That's the part you neglected to take notice of in my post. Not that everyone MUST be lifted to the $20 price... but, much like a Patreon or Buy Me A Coffee model, offering a higher tiered option isn't unheard of and sometimes people really just do want to support the genuine product... I am one of those people who could afford it, and therefore do feel its a duty onto myself to empower the collective whole of this mmorpg community...

People are saying SE is going bankrupt, and if that's true, perhaps they do need more funds... funds I would happily pay, under the condition players weren't restricted from getting things like emotes in the game. You just didn't see the nuance in my post because you assume I think everyone should be put to that higher price point, which I never said...

But no, clearly any kind of nuanced discussion about freedom of choice can't happen on the internet...
