Eq2 did this too.. Of course it is a money thing. They get so much more money from station cash than subscriptions now that they're willing to let almost anything go on there. Smart business decision, imo.
Leveling in any game that has been out for a long time is a unnecessary burden and most people quit, especially when there is no one to group with. WoW has a huge population base so they don't really need this, but I'm sure that many people will buy it anyway. Also, in EQ2, they have this tutorial thing if you buy the boost to 85.. So it's not as if you will be a total noob.
