It appears Japanese players are in agreement.

I find the white knights responses on this sad, do these people live in the same world as the rest of us?

We do live in the same world. And technically, the same world is the same way. Those who don't put in effort won't earn a big nice home on the beach lol. I hate the prices too. But at the same time i'm not bitching all 'I want it now'. And in my opinion 'white knighting' are those who are jumping up at arms to make things so available right HERE AND NOW for the masses.... and the same masses once they get the shit 'here and now', will later on be complaining about how it was too easy to obtain, and thereby not worth it.

Players really don't even understand their own wants and desires to the point its kinda lulzworthy.
