I think Hitler proved that idea wrong.
You have lost at the internet. Thanks for playing.
Remember, once you throw down the Hitler card, you've automatically lost the argument.
As far as your moron comment:

See, your argument is based on an aged old, flawed idea that if an idea is more profitable or more popular it is better.
I think I was very clear that I'm against ES. However, you assume that because it seems like a bad idea to you that its wrong, and that its therefore a bad business decision. Do you even begin to understand how little those things have in common?
Just because some number of vocal players say they have quit because of this (and a lot less quit than said they did, I pretty much guarantee that). Just because a lot of vocal players say that they don't like the idea doesn't make it a bad business decision.
How much of the player base is actually against ES? How many will leave over it? How many will SOE gain because they add ES?
Unless you have numbers for these questions, you are guessing like everyone else on whether this is a good business decision.
Business. Guess what/ That's what SOE is doing, running a business.
While the idea of selling and buying virtual goods is repugnant to me, and some others, that doesn't mean its amoral or even immoral. It just means that we find it distasteful.
I've known it was going on for a long time, now SOE wants in on the action. I don't like the idea of making it more prevalent, but it was going on whether they sanctioned it or not. At least this way less people will get ripped off.
Anyway, guess this thread is over.
