    If you want, that a company stops doing something then do not give them money. So if you do not want, that there are items in the store from the start then do not buy them. It is that simple. But if many people will buy them then the company did it right.

    Just because something is "profitable" in the short term doesn't mean it's good for the game in the long term, nor how profitable it will be either.

    Sorry but I just strongly disagree.

    Agree or not, Profit is a company's singular goal. SE, as well as all other companies, are in the business of making money, period! If it's profitable it's a good business decision albeit maybe not a good game decision.

    If I speak at one constant volume
    At one constant pitch
    At one constant rhythm right into your ear

    I guess, you completely missed the point. You can educate a company by voting with your wallet. If they do something, you do not like and you still give them money for it then they will not stop doing that stuff. It is very simple. SQEX is a publicly traded company. They have to push the value of the company as much as they can. And if some items in the online store are successful and the players will buy them then they will do it over and over again. If you do not like this behavior, do not buy the items. If nobody will buy them then they not do it anymore.



    Cheers
