Voting with my wallet

[LunarCain]

Lets see..other P2P MMO has Cash Shop that Pays to Win. SE is a P2P that sells Armor that is used for Fun and Glamour. So pls explain how is the Cash Shop here helps Pay to win when it clearly doesnt?

People just don't have enough worthwhile things to complain about, so they prop the cash shop up as the biggest evil in the land and burn it in effigy all over the forums before the damned thing is even released and given a chance to affect anyone's gameplay experience, much less updated once or twice.

While I think SE can take their cash shop and shove it, I'm also loyal like a dog and it will take more then that to make me quit. I commend you OP if you are really going through with it.

The people at SE, Yoshi-P included, are all a part of a business. They are not your friends. Again, I must repeat, they are not your friends. If there is a generally accepted means, by the consumer base, for better income (which, by business standards and ideology, means better production of goods to satisfy consumer demands), they'll do it. A cash shop for cosmetics serves a number of purposes. Players who falsely have a sense of principle, and whatever other "feel-good" thought, are only really fooling themselves.

By all means, people should vote with their wallet, but try to pick your battles wisely. Hating on a company for throwing on some goods that serve pure vanity purposes (which is short lived in actual practice by the player), just shows you picked your battle poorly. It serves your purpose, but there are better things for you to hate on than that. If the only worth of the game for you is obtaining every piece of gear/pet/mount/look possible without a cash shop, then it truly is unfortunate for you. I'm sorry it came to that, but you are one of the very... very few that find exclusive worth of a game to be like that. And, as always, not everyone can be pleased when something happens.

That's ok OP, the cash shop will make up for your lost subscription. we got this.

Have fun elsewhere.

The OP simply made a non-raging post to give SE his reason as of why he's leaving the game. Why can't some of you let him do whatever he wants, and give his feedback just as SE has told us countless times to do? Is it so important to you and to your lives to belittle or actually care about where the OP puts his money on? Is he paying with your money? Are you getting money from him? Then why don't you stop acting like little kids that think that they're funny, and simply move on? Grow up.

And it doesn't matter if the cash shop makes up for his lost subscription. The fact is that he doesn't enjoy the game with it and he chooses to leave. There's nothing bad about it, nor did he say that the game will fail without his sub. He is simply being true to his feelings and does what every responsible consumer should do in his situation. It's as simple as that.

Its an open forum. people can comment if they wish. If you don't want feedback from the community then send SE an email directly. Also how do you know that they are not little kids?

Sice when do snarky comments count as feedback or add anything to a discussion?

And even kids have to grow up. Just because they're kids that doesn't mean that they can do and say whatever they please.

Snarky or not, its still a comment, and who are you, me, or anyone else to tell anyone what they can or cannot say?
