please, all people with the 'monthly fees are not fair' syndrome shut up.
if i would be able to sell my shit for 100$ a dropping, that would be a fair price, otherwise i wouldnt be selling it.
get over yourself. its certainly a more viable and arguably more fair business model. chances are you are just a pirate whos frustrated he cant play games for free anymore.
I said "more fair".
My complaint was that people have a tendancy to act like Guild Wars is somehow as big as a cost as most other MMO's, when it is in fact much cheaper. Guild Wars is profitable without trying to squeeze as much money from me as they can possibly get away with. That strikes me as being fair.
why is guildwars' busines model 'more fair', or cheaper? say i buy it, and i come to the conclusion MMORPG's are gay within a day. oops, lots of money down the drain.
if i am a fulltime junky who lives for WoW, i pay a small sum for that (really try smoking, or harddrugs, they are a lot more expensive), which isnt that weird: im continually using their resources, and in $ per hour of playtime, its really nothing.
whats unfair about paying according to use?

But that is my perspective on what being fair is. If your idea of fairness is that a company should aim to rake in as much money as some people are willing to give it, then I suppose the standard MMO model would be more fair.
my idea of fairness is that YOU have the right to sell YOUR (intellectual) property on YOUR OWN terms.

it was merely a suggestion for your own good. you are making a fool out of yourself.
