I just don't think that increasing the price of areas of the game that can be overlooked or worked around is a good move. For instance; 50 plat for another character within the same account, or free if I just use a new account (coincidentally the 50 stash slots and 1 auction slot can be obtained via the same method negating the need to spend 130 plat). Besides some of the vanity items and the plat pack items the need to spend is less imo since elixirs are obtainable with mission rewards. Minus the slight hindrance of not being able to play for over 2 hours due to energy constraints, the need to spend isn't there for me.
