This is less than surprising. Now that the cat is out of the bag, SoE is ALL about the cash shop, and the card based games are a stunning success because even if most people won't, there are still plenty of idiots willing to throw down thousands buying needlessly randomized booster packs for virtual cards which more than make up for it. I didn't even look at PoxNora before considering it's business model, but with SoE at the helm, expect the milking to get that much worse. Sony, on the whole, is full of arrogant jackasses who think anything they do will be gold, and it's just a matter of time before peopple spend far too much for it just because it's from Sony. Apparently the PS3 wasn't enough of a wakeup call for them. Apparently having to fire a ton of staff wasn't a big enough wakeup call. Maybe they'll wake up when their CEOs can't afford their yearly 15mil bonuses because the entertainment division has completely tanked under is misguided and pompus leadership.

That would just be evil swallowing evil.
I hate the "Magic Guys" far more than "the guys that broke swg".
