But not at the expense of FiS, which is where they were headed. you know what, I think many people think the same (albeit the MT bit is.. discussable), including me. Incarna is the way to go, BUT not at the expense of the rest of the game. Vanity MT hurts no one, as long as it stays vanity, it's ok in my books It hurts everyone. When you pay a subscription you should be entitled to everything that service provides. Or at least the possibly of getting it without spending extra. So what my $15 a month isn't good enough for these pants? A hybrid system of Sub+MT is fail and only shows a companies greed and willingness to milk its player base. Even if it just vanity. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Think of it like the optional extras when ou buy a car, you don't HAVE to buy the metallic paint, and buying the metallic paint doesn't improve the vehicle's performance.
Don't like it ? I'll not only not buy it but I'll also unsubscribe 2 accounts (costing ccp $30 each month) and move to paying by plex only on my main account because I do not believe in the principle of Microtransaction-delivered content in a monthly subscription game. So my -$30 per month is small beer, but we're reading now that CCP lost 8% of its income over GreedCarna Nex Apocalypse or around $400,000 per month. (And that is a truly significant cost for the NeX "experiment"
I do not believe in MT "optional extras" in a mandatory subscription game.
I play WOT and buy the MT "optional extras" there because I am not obliged to pay a subscription and can play for free.
That is the difference and clearly enough people agree with me to hurt CCP right in the pocket book.
Which is where we are this winter.
