GOC, i respect your stance here, but i think you are missing the bigger picture.

The money you have spent entitles you to absolutely nothing.

Its a free game that functions. Anything you spend after that is your choice.

Your argument is nothing new. It has been used for every mmorpg out there for decades now (yes decades)

"Paying Beta Testers", again, nothing new here

The only ground most complaints have to stand on is when you are paying to play a game that is unavailable to play (i.e. server down time) and that isnt the case here as its "Free to Play"... yeah right...

Look Man, i know you are a "good dude" from chat, and can tell you are very emotional about this. But this is what this industry is. Frankly it has gotten worse exponentially over the past 10 years. In the past year with more tablet/phone games it has gotten to the point of being unimaginable from the customer standpoint. People are clicking away thousands of dollars for virtual goods, or in this case, the chance at virtual goods.

At some point I would hope that people realize that $1,000 dollars could have payed for 5 years of most mmorpgs or a decade's worth of old school games. It could buy 17 or so Xbox or PS3 games. It could get you a new "next gen" system and some hardware and games.

Again, Im not saying I agree with any of these practices, but it is now on the consumer to know that "it is what is is". If you continue to click away cash, while expecting change, it really isnt a Mobage problem.

Good luck man. i hope it all works out for you. If not, its an expensive "lesson learned" which can still be valuable in the future.
