BUT
I can also see pretty clearly that the makers of SilkRoad worked really really hard one something very hard to work on for FREE. How selfish is it of me to say they shouldn't make a way for themselves to get alittle reimbursment for their hard work? And think it through, if they're making money, they have WAY more motivation to work harder and give even us stingy players things such as the guild storage and further pets.
In all fairness, I don't think it's a good or bad idea, it's a smart business move. Your put no lower for not buying, and why should you pay to get no advantage? The time the GMs put into this game is time they could be spending at work, but they don't. They make our free time better.
