I am a bit surprised that this thread hasn't been made.
The producer LIVE letter introduced Wada at the very end. He stated that SE is looking into pricing discounts to ensure they get the most out of player subscriptions until 2.0.
Several people on the forums, including myself, have publicly stated that because the game is "50% to launch ready," that we would pay 6-7 dollars to support the game. I find this a fair an acceptable discount.
SE has been doing very well at listening to our concerns and suggestions, and I feel this is an appropriate time to officially tell SE what we'd like to see in a discount for subscriptions.
My take: 6-7 dollars. They can even increase the amount by 1 dollar at patches and I think it would be a fair compromise. I'd be willing to support them this way.
