I am getting sick of short-sighted and ignorant people like you who cannot understand the issue.
By the way, if you are getting sick of these threads, is it really too difficult for you to simply ignore it and not click on it? Heh, maybe it is... stupid people are funny that way.

i made a bunker bomb on page four debunking every 'issue' people bring up aside from the price being a little high.
thats the only thing that could be considered a con. and ill admit if it gets more people to buy at 5$ or something, its still fine by me, as it doesnt break the game.

i addressed every issue before and so have others. Just saying.
because you arent gamers. you're entitled sounding idiots who hide behind the most absurd, fallacious reasoning, only seeing what you want to see and hear.
Nothing like starting a pseudo-intellectual argument with a generalized attack on those who disagree with you. Nevertheless, your argument fails because you did not address the true argument against the CS.
the commonly spewed arguments from anyone AGAINST the CS:
2. that it is content, and belongs to you because you pay a monthly fee. (and you still fail to see comparisons between simple analogies. you dont get extra toppings for free after buying a pizza)
more on this, people wasting EME's time:
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: They are simply for people who want to stand out from the crowd special items that not everyone will have.
Ukaei .: But shouldn't the purchase of the game and subcription over for these items?
Ukaei .: cover*
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: Not if there new additions as it says the game is ever evolving.
Ukaei .: So my subscription doesn't cover for new content?
Ukaei .: Will I be charged for future patches and bug fixes?
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: I didn't say that there is plenty of new content to come.
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: You are no being charge for anything unless you want those vanity items in question.
Ukaei .: Okay.. what exactly does a subscription for $14.99 entitle a customer then?
Ukaei .: And, isn't vanity items new content? Under what catergory then vanity items fall under. GM Fing.Fang.Foom: Access to the servers is what you subscription is for.
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: *your
Ukaei .: Just access? Could you guys possibly charge me for patches in the future? Omghosh.. You guys should tell people right away what their money is entitling them to. =/ GM Fing.Fang.Foom: I highly doubt we would charge for a patch since it is an update to fix problem or add new content. That doesn't restrict us from selling special items for those who want them. If you don't want them that's okay. There are plenty of in game items that are even harder to get just by playing.
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: *Novelty items are not trade-able, sell-able, or discard-able.
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: We have added these options by popular demand for such services.
GM Fing.Fang.Foom: I can give you the link to the terms of service if you would like.
these are vanity SERVICES developed after the fact. they are not entitled to you because you pay a sub. then to go even further and claim youre being barred from content, and may have to even pay for further content because of said assumptions... thats just fearmongering cynicism.
Obviously you do not understand what a Slippery Slope is, and you are unable to see how far we have already slid and how much farther EME is trying to push us down the slope...
More and more Pay-to-Play games are featuring a cash shop with so-called "vanity" items. They claim that these vanity items are created separately and are not part of the subscription content; while I did not love the WoW cash shop, it was at least validated by the massive amount of similar content available free in the game.
The Slippery Slope is the growing trend of items and content that is INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD to be later placed in a cash shop, or content that by all honest reason SHOULD BE INCLUDED and obtainable in game as part of the subscription fee.
Of course the publisher's will claim it was all developed separately and never intended to be part of the main game... what the Hell do you expect the to say?!
The more that people ignorantly support the greedy and unethical practice of cash shops in a P2P game, and the more they do not take a stand on the principle of what is right and wrong and demand the content that they are clearly paying for, will mean more and more shady companies like EME will establish Cash Shops and include items that would and should otherwise be in the game, but the marketing department projects a nice extra income from stupid people who will pay extra for content they should already have.
Agreed, if you do not want to buy items in the Cash Shop, you do not have to. But the real issue that people with this argument seem to overlook is that in a Pay-to-Play game, the vast majority of the so-called "vanity" items should actually be included in the paid game; it is ARTIFICIALLY determined "extra" content to milk extra $$ off the parents of spoiled kids and clueless adults.
The more people support these unethical Cash Shops, the more items you will see in them that should have been added to the paid game. This is the Slippery Slope.
Of course the publisher's will claim it was all developed separately and never intended to be part of the main game... what the Hell do you expect the to say?!
sadly this is the meat of it all, that PROVES youre all a bunch of tin hatted psychopaths who think any business that tries to make $ is greedy scum.
