I don't get what's the problem..
If You want the best, pay for it!
If You don't want to pay for it, You don't really want it!
Being jealous on others who have better items 'cause They paid for it is a bit retarded act.
Of course the real life money paid items have to be better. If not, why would I pay for it??? Why would I spend my money on a bag of sh*t when I can get better stuffs for free?
To get the best of something, You must invest in it! This is how life goes. And, You think, that this is only a video game.. and You won't spend money on it. Okay! No money. No paid bills. Server shutdown! Watch the running little wolf and the "Server down!" sign! .

all this says is you have no idea how a business model for a "FTP" game should work. I'm not an expert on it, but there is a lot of common sense involved. And what your saying is contrary to that IMO.

To be successful you need to have people spend money... consistently. Not one and done. You also want more people spending smaller amounts than a few people spending large amounts. In order to do this you have to have a large player base. What better way to get Joe Broke to spend some of his money than to get him to quit the game right? Great idea. Not to mention, those "high rollers" will quit the game too if there is no incentive to play after buying the best gear the first 5 minutes. Then what do you do?

I'm a plat spender and I'd lose interest very fast. The whole fun of the game is the hunt for the best gear. If you can just buy it, then no need to even play, just log in once every couple of months, make a plat purchase, buy your weapons and then sign off.

Exactly my point.
