I was seeing a bunch of opinions on MT i was wondering witch ones were the most prevelent. On the other one state the reason if i didn't list one you liked.
The thing is that yes for Cosm items and no- I don't want an advantage based on $$ are essentially the same because cosmetic items don't affect the game( I just hope that's the model they use)
I voted Other, mainly I don't like Micro Transactions because I think it influences the gameplay to much. I think you end up with the game being driven by accountants and excel spreadsheets trying to maximise revenue, rather than allowing the devs to just get on with making a game fun. Just take a look at any F2P Asian MMO with an ingame cash shop to see what I mean, they are all pure junk and unable to compete with a pure subscription based game when it comes to gameplay quality.
I also think that in the case of Champions Online it is further proof of publisher greed and in trying to mate subs with MT's they've ended up with a redheaded stepchild which is about as popular as the plague. All just imho of course
