That's because your position is either based on one of two false premises. The first possibility is that you're interpreting what I said as: "we want people to either support our business by paying money on a regular basis or by playing the game on a regular basis" I didn't. You don't have to pay money on a regular basis. If you pay money, you can quit and restart whenever you want. The only thing you can't do if you pay to play without keeping your account active is you can't stockpile CREDD, Every other part of the game is yours to play in 30 day increments following your cash purchase whenever you make it. Every time you do, you are paying your way in the only currency that ultimately matters here: the one that keeps the lights on at Carbine Studios. If you're supporting your account on CREDD, you're not doing that. You don't hand Carbine money. Carbine doesn't need you to to farm the plat that they can create at will, nor do they need you to hand it in at a plat exchange vendor that they created and defined the actions of. They just use your accrual of plat on the CREDD market as a measure of the thing they really DO need from you, which is how much you show up and play and make it more fun to keep playing for the people who actually do hand Carbine money. If you don't give Carbine money and the only times when you show up and play coincide with lots of game shininess when interest in the game would be high even if you weren't there, then you aren't actually providing any value to Carbine in terms of the two routes by which you can provide them with value. Why you expect them to let you show up and play if you're not willing to do either is a mystery to me. The second possibility is that you don't understand who is actually giving Carbine money. I suspect this is the real problem, because you said:

If you are supporting your subscription with CREDD that you buy with plat, Carbine can't demand that you give them money because you aren't giving them money. Not now or regularly. I believe I've mentioned this before, when I said:
