I'mma jus go ahead an dismantle every single non-point argument in this thread starting with this one.
That is just plain wrong. We never had to pay for races beyond the legacy unlock if you chose that route, and even then it was in game credits.
This is an outlandishly ludicrous expectation. Almost no one saves their CC for these updates, and they should not have to as we are subs for a reason.
The difference is that I can still buy bank tabs with in game credits and have the additional option to do so with CC. This is not the case with the Space Thundercats.
No it is not free. I have to pay $15 dollars for a sub to even get it.
No he is not. Being that the "Barber shop" is a new FEATURE though, he is correct in his statement.
Therein lies your problem. It says character creation not character recreation. However, if the new items to the barber shop are not allowed to be acquired for free via making a whole new char then yes, that would be false advertising.
Again you are making a fallacious argument in that you assume every subscriber gets the same CC allotment each and every month. That is wrong making the point you tried to make, erroneous.
All in all this is an exceptionally slippery slope and I feel that BW is just testing the waters to see how much they can get away with before we bite. Saying things like "oh but you can just use the monthly CC grant for them," will escalate eventually to "oh you can use the monthly CC grant for X after 2 months." That's not cool with me and if that is how much my sub is valued I'm gonna have to bone on outta this money lynching festival.
