    Until, and unless, users punish SE for this, they'll continue doing it.

    Personally, I've sort of just tried to ignore it. It is absolutely greedy, but SE is hardly alone here; every company has realized that many customers don't mind being nickel-and-dimed to death to acquire all the content for a game they've supposedly already paid for. They also know that those who do dislike the feeling, tend not to boycott the game over it, particularly where MMOs are concerned.

    Just a sad reality of capitalism. It's the gaming equivalent of a movie theater telling you that you can't bring your own soda into the building, and then turning around and charging you $7.00 for their own fountain drinks. Doesn't make it right, and it doesn't make it fun - but as long as the average person goes with the flow, it's really not worth digging in your heels.

    Edit / PS - One thing I do that makes me feel a bit better about the situation is avoid spending anything myself. Additionally, I tend to look down on players using the mounts / emotes / etc. that are purchased on the Mog Station. Not in a 'they're a bad person' type of way, but more in a 'wow, that person actually fell for an utterly transparent money grab; glad I'm not them' type of way. I know it doesn't actually make a whit of objective difference, but it makes me feel better personally.
