I am seeing a lot of posts with people wanting a non Station Cash server.
But my question is, why was Station Cash not introduced on a new single server with free transfers?
That way, people that are interested in it could move to it for free and if it was a success they could open up another server.
I just don't see why this was forced on all servers.
At this point. Even if they added a non SC server, I just don't see myself as coming back.
I'll be logging in sometime this weekend on both of my accounts and deleting all my characters. SoE is not a company I'm willing to keep paying money to any more.
I'm not ranting, Just stating a fact that SC is the final straw in a long list of lies which is causing me quit and leaving the game and SoE for good.

Unfortunately the problem is bigger than just SOE , we all know why they dumped this on people without asking first, it's the age old saying "it's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission" , which basically is the same reason that advertisers use opt-out advertising instead of opt-in .. if it was opt-in nobody would sign up to it, so they dump it on people and hope that if they do it for long enough people will eventually accept it as normal..

If what ive been reading around the net is acurate though... it's not just SOE thats jumping on the micro-transaction greed-wagon ..

----------------------------

Square-enix are supposed to be considering micro-transactions in the next final fantasy MMO..

----------------------------

someone who was hacking the lich king expansion files found code supporting micro-transactions for World of warcraft..

-----------------------------

the next star-wars MMO is supposed to be being based off micro-transactions as well...

-----------------------------

im sure many other companies are also considering it, and it's a real shame to invest so much time and subscription money into an MMO only to be stabbed in the back by the company because at the end of the day.. no matter how much we like the game. the company that created it did so to make as big a profit as they can, and they will put profit before the wishes of the subscribers every time..
