The part that bothers me is the paying of CC points twice.
I don't mind buying customisations/new options with CC, to be fair. What realy irks me is that, having already forked out real money analogue for the new race/haircuts etc I then have to fork out more real money analogue to actually make use of them. Thats the part that smells rancid to me. Charging to have the option, and then charging to exercise the option.
Yes, before anyone else starts, I get free CC's with my sub, but I still resent paying twice for something.
