Yeah, Microtransaction will be one part of the future of online gaming.
But if i wanna play some game with microtansaction i choose a F2P game and pay for the content i need to play (Like Freerealms).
But if i pay a lot of money (i own a Station Access Pass) monthly (and that from the beginning of EQ1) i want to enjoy the game without of some extra costs.
I bought like plenty others the last expansion "Sentinels Fate" payed a lot of money for it (had as european player troubles to get it - and was really angry that i had no chance to buy the expensive collectors edition) and 2 month later Sony added a mount for 25$ (why the hell Sony is not so kind to the faithful customers and add a new signature quest line or epic mount quest line to own this mounts?
I will accept microtransactions in EQ if i have a monthly fee below 10$. But i personally would prefer to pay each month 5$ extra and Sony stops this whole bunch of microtransaction adventure (they could do some marketing like the hotels of the world with an all inclusive package for online gamers).

Mounts Now Available on the Station Marketplace
SOE introduces mounts with stats for 2500SC
Today SOE announced that three new mounts will be available in the EQII Station Marketplace. For 2500SC ($25) you can have your choice of three very good looking mounts. Each mount comes in your choice of Fierce or Arcane. The Fierce version increases Slashing, Aggression, Ranged, Piercing and Crushing of caster by 5, while the Arcane version increases Focus, Ordination, Disruption, Subjugation and Ministration of caster by 5. Both versions of the mount have a 65% run speed.
These mounts are guarenteed to be available on the Marketplace for at least a month. Click the picture above for large screenshots of each mount, and be sure to watch them in action in the video after the jump!
