Yep.

I consider Micro-trans with Subscription to be discriminating against me and my fellow "fluff" lovers. They throw all these cool things into the game and charge extra only for the kind of stuff me and my friends like. Sure to the jock gamers out there, its nothing. Who wants to pay 5 bucks for a cool new look? It doesn't help you on the raid, it doesn't get you the new Sword of Gun-fire +4.

So those that play MMO's for the raiding, a fickle crowd that you can lose very easily, get to continue playing like there isn't a microtransaction. Those of us that play for years, accumulating rare and exotic housing items, costumes, and festival goodies get it stuck to us. Because there will NEVER be free fluff again with the direction MMO's are going.

In short. Screw you Cryptic, and all your games you'll be riding down in a blaze of fail. Jock gamers come and go, its the people that enjoy fluff that stick with games.
