from the OP

CCP wants to trap your real money in the game, CCP can print the unlimited amount of virtual goods at no cost and your money will be chained to that virtual item until the game close or you dont pay your subscription, there is no way to get ur money back even if you own the item

So CCP wants you to pay the montly subcription and pay for virtual items, i only can say FU CCP, MMO's that have micro transaction dont have subcription plan, i mean World Of Tanks dont have subscription plans etc etc

Well, the problem is that most games with monthly subscriptions have added microtransactions the last 2 years. They have always charged for moving servers and similar things but after EQ2 added an itemstore (not to be confused with EQ2X) most games including Wow have followed.

It is mostly small games that haven't added stuff like this yet. This is of course the thing that makes people jumping to F2P games, if there is an itemstore in both why bother paying 15 bucks extra each month?

Fact is: we are loosing the war against micro transitions, every month a new game open a in game store or moves to F2P. When even the biggest players have it only a few rebel games will continue with the classic P2P without itemstore.
