Essentially yes, there's an AA potion of some sort.
While I generally think this is like SOE's Worst Idea Ever, I also think the people screaming that the sky is falling are overreacting. Some yahoos will spend insane amounts of money for stuff /shrug. They do so already on LON and on plat sales and powerleveling. My favorite is the guy that spent $600 to get the Classless Hats /sheesh
But for most of us, life will go on in Norrath as always. There are still thousands of quests in game, tons of stuff to kill, and plenty of fun to be had. My guild has plenty of excitement raiding T7 stuff still, and no doubt we'll eventually work up to T8. The new TSO instances are a blast.
I could honestly care less if some uber-goober buys uber leet stuffz with real life money. Chances are I don't group with him or his friends anyway.
For me it's not so much what they have done, but how they did it. Smed said a year ao that RMT would never come to live servers. He lied. There wasn't as much as a hint this was going to happen until today. It's a slap in the face to every player. If you don't mind bein lied to then that's your business. Frankly if this doesn't bother you than you more of a fanboy than you will ever realize.
One warning....SOE has proven with their LoN game that they are very greedy. They aren't going to be satisfied with the bit of profit they can make from selling fluff items. It's just a matter of time before game altering items are offered. I am sure that most of you will find some way of justifying such actions...It won't matter to me as I will be long gone in 42 days...more or less...
Exactly. This is just another example of SOE's misplaced priorities and absolute lack of customer service skills. They show time and again that they don't really care about what the players, their customers, want in a game. This is the main problem from me. If they wanted to put something like this in, they should have been up front about it, told us before putting it in, etc. That's my main problem.
And my main account ended this afternoon. I'm too annoyed with them right now to renew, so am forced to post on my 2nd account for the first time ever. I cancelled that this afternoon, too, mostly for the opportunity to express my displeasure with their handling of this. Again, I'm not freaking out over the SC thing itself, so much as I'm unhappy with SOE's approach. I don't want to see EQ2 turn into SWG's NGE fiasco. The game is too good, too much fun, to muck it up like this.
