also you should play EVE, one of the few MMOs where players pay to lose.

LOL. Ukm, eg...

LOL.

(there's some truth that)

Anyway...

The point is that instead of getting things in the game to be better, you're paying real-life cash for the same sorts of things. So you don't need to even know how to play the game, you just need real-life cash. Is that the problem? So it's like you're playing alongside people who have cheat codes. They're haxing the game.

The other issue, ofc, is how gimmicky it all looks. Open up hte in-game shop and it's like opening up a website strewn with advertisements. A salesman vomited on you. Ima giddy to spend spend spend.

In hte past, I've justified hte idea of allowing people who have less time but more money to play time consuming games by paying for odds and ends instead of spending time to get them. The idea on paper is real cool. However, I do not know if it will ever work well. Probably, but maybe not.

The issue is... players have different amoutns of time to play. How do you please everyone. Players also have different amounts of real-life cash on them. A company wants to maximize the money it gets.
