It is obvious by the current marketing model that STS focuses on binge spending, with not only the locked crates, but now platinum pet crates only available for short times (with a different crate each weekend). If people were on time-release platinum plans, these plat-focused weekends wouldn't make nearly as much money.
While this subscription type plan is in all likelihood beneficial for other F2P enterprises, implementing it would require changing the entire marketing / sales strategy currently in place.
While I agree that getting away from the "binge-spend to win" model would be best for everyone, I was just pointing out that it doesn't appear to be in the current direction the company is taking the game.
