I think the answer lies with a sad trend that has became prevalent in this day and age. When a vocal minority’s arises within a community and bands together to speak louder than than the silent majority things like this happen. And funcom responded like they did because they do not want to be p2w, they overreacted because they don’t want to lose more players and it gives the impression that it is the majority who is speaking when in reality it is a sad few who think that when a developer wants to put out more content it’s a p2w money grab. If the silent majority would band together and show funcom that making the content equivalent to star metal or just a hair better is ok then we might get that change. All it takes is one post with everyone voicing their opinion in a positive or neutral manner that this is how most of us feel then funcom would respond to us.

The funny thing about this is that those who cry P2W the loudest are people who would not buy those DLC anyway, and the people who buy them get shafted!

Items were visible in-game long before release… they had multiple opportunities to change them before the DLC release (many people made purchasing decisions based on those numbers)!!!

As the saying goes “Fool me once…”, way to loose paying customer (probably won’t buy any future DLC for this game).
