What's there is already a pacifier for the people that whined for fluff and ruined the game.

If you're not interested in 'fluff', then how exactly does its existence ruin the game? Don't buy it, move on with your life.

If you let them have their way with the vanity cash shop, then that will open up more possible endeavors of theirs to add into the cash shop. Endeavors like a P2W items.

Feel free to offer an example of a single subscription game in which this has ever occurred. You melodramatic babies swore up and down it would happen with WoW, Rift, and now Tera.. the rest of us are still patiently awaiting your doomsday prophecies to come true. Looks like we'll be waiting a while.

Do you go to a store and QQ at the manager for advertising some stuff in the window because you dont want it? Grow up and find something real to complain about. Bunch of children.

No I don't because it is advertised in clear view and not thrown on as optional "premium" options after I purchase my goods?

The usual format for dealing with bad tempered children is to put them in the naughty corner and ignore them. Maybe when you all start acting like adults again someone will come talk to you.

EME is a business and it was always part of their business model to have a cash shop. Dont be ripping pieces off them because you the consumer didnt bother to inform yourself of just what their business model was.

Since my response has been buried... I am reposting it here and we are going to close out the other threads. Feel free to reply below.

"Guys you are getting worked up over another publisher's choice or decision. Bluehole provides every publisher with a bunch of cool features or items and it is up to the publisher to decide how to utilize them.

Right now our focus is on launching TERA successfully and whether you believe it or not we have yet to make any decisions around most of these type of items. We have talked about some of the premium items we are working on such as name or appearance changes but beyond that nothing is final."

Aion.

The bottom line is EME knows, you know, anyone human and not Thundercat should know:

There would have been a lot less complaints had this been wide spread knowledge and also ON the box at the time of purchase.

To not even come out and issue an apology like they did nothing wrong is why hopefully EME completely continues to fumble the ball to the point where they go under.

Then maybe next time around they will wake up when "westernizing" an mmo.

The bottom line is you were going to quit tera anyway and just feel like stirring crap on the forums before you go with bs. You talk of westernization, yet WoW has a cash shop and made you buy expansions. Pretty sure EQ made you buy expansions as well. EVE has PLEX which is very cash shoppy in that you are buying gold with irl money. Are you going to complain next that remodeling your armor to look like something else is the reason you lost a duel?

Please just leave and go to your preferred game that already has a cash shop or worse in it. (D3/GW2)
