Every 45 minutes, by law, Taco Bell has to throw away that meat paste it uses in its beef tacos. It has to dispose of all food waste to an outside dumpster ever two hours. Both Burger King and McDonald's get rid of unused bread products every hour. If you live near a fast food strip, the timing is pretty easy to get down and the total bill = zero.
Amen. Those buns at fast food hamburger restaurants are about the worst thing you can put into your body, in terms of digestive health.

Considering the reward (playtime fun), I always found 15$ a month a fair deal. Going to the cinema with some popcorn and a coke equals 2 months of playtime. I think it is a cheap hobby. However, this logic came to me at a time when ppl did not expect anything on the internet to be free.
Hell I pay half that having lunch at Chipotle. I'm fine with paying for EQ. I've donated to every emu I've ever played on happily. The movie theatres are insane though. F that evil empire.

The p2play is fine, it's the p2w/p2a that makes it seem like stagnant moneygrab garbage that you could find in almost any private server of any game (or even legit games/servers) that lets you pay for "minor advantages"

I'd rather pay a higher monthly fee than play on a server that sells perks. Matter of fact, I refuse to play on servers that sell perks ("minor" or otherwise).

It's like being offered a discount hotel room, but the bed/sheets/pillowcase/shampoo/water/ice/curtains/doorlock/do not disturb sign "minor advantages" all cost extra. Sure, It's a hotel room, it's got a roof, you can sleep in it, but you're not getting "the whole thing" unless you shell out to the moneygrab.

If they offered a server with twice the monthly cost but no p2w bullshit I'd actually give it a try, As it stands...garbage.

Also the dynamic of being able to pay for your subscription with tradeable krono (buyable with cash) which players can trade is flat out RMT.
You... really... need... to look into p99's history and present. Agnarr is an escape from imbalanced RMT, not a blind charge into it.
