I'm not sold on Evercold and, to be frank, I'm tossing this into the wind to complain.

As an avid collector of in game items (minions, mounts, etc) I find it really upsetting to learn that a minion I was looking forward to acquiring would be locked behind the fomo pre-order. I wouldn't have an issue if they released the pre-order stuff later on in the cash shop.

Same goes with emotes and minions locked to physical media. I've griped about it for years but these things really should have, bare minimum, a cash shop option and they should be account wide.

In a brighter world, perhaps we wouldn't have a cash shop at all and everything would be obtainable in game. Alas, we do not live in that world.
