After reading
this thread I had to discuss the RMT aspect of this without derailing the "link the items you bought thread".
Wow people who I've seen openly attack RMT are sucking on the LON tit and loving it. Don't throw me this bullshit "you can get them as drops too" argument, cause you can get attunable fabled items as drops OR you can pay real cash to get them without the effort. In game effort replaced by out of game cash. That power clicky is the best power item in the game and the rate at which it is distributed on the servers is directly proportional to how many real money transfers are made for in game items.
Pretty sad state of affairs. I don't think the 2.99 is a big deal but when you consider the tactic of coercing ALL of your subscriptions to pay the money or miss out on such a huge piece of functionality... its shady. Especially after the promise was made that RMT would be kept on SE servers ONLY.
I don't care too much about discoveries... but allowing it to be listed as "first on server" when only a portion of the server was given the opportunity... certainly you can see how its a rigged fight.
To me this is a clear indication of the future direction of EQ2. I don't like to make rash decisions but atm I'm seriously considering where I invest my leisure time.
