Explain This to Me, Please

Yesterday, PSU GM Edward officially announced that Guardians Cash would not be coming to the US/EU supplemental update. He also mentioned that the PSU team was working with Sonic Team to bring Guardians Cash content to the US/EU game without requiring players to pay extra for it.

I thought this was the best possible decision Sega could make regarding the whole Guardians Cash issue. It keeps the playing field level and allows everyone to earn the content without having to spend lots of extra money.

That didn't stop the idiots from posting complaints on the official forums. The author of this thread whined that Guardians Cash would be a good idea for the US/EU community and that Sega is stupid for dropping it. I've taken the liberty of cleaning up the spelling and grammar of the post so that readers can actually understand it.

I want [GC]. My reasoning is:

1) [It's] optional;
2) [Sega] will make more $$$;
3) [Not everyone] is lucky enough [to] get high % [weapons] and armor and [weapons]/armors that [you] find can only go so high.;
4) [People] want to grind their [weapons] and change their elements and many have already invested in [GC].;
5) [Other] reasons which escape me [at the moment].

Maybe I read this post wrong, but this guy seems to be implying that the game would be better if we could all just buy great weapons and/or armor. I can say with certainty that this person is wrong. The ability to buy weapons and armor with real money would just make everybody look and play like everybody else. If you want to find good weapons and armor, play the game. If the weapon or armor you like doesn't have element percents suitable for you, play the game some more until you find what you want. I thought this was common sense.

Also, nobody has invested in Guardians Cash. I'm not quite sure how this is even possible since Sega has not made Guardians Cash available for purchase in the US or EU. Maybe some players bought low % weapons in anticipation of being able to upgrade them with Guardians Cash, but I wouldn't consider that an investment. (At this point, I would consider that stupid.) By the way, did you read the post that says Guardians Cash isn't coming in the supplemental update?

Sega has already stated that Guardians Cash content would come to the game in other ways, such as in mission rewards. Players that ask for it now are just lazy and don't want to work for the content. You can't have good weapons or armor without playing the game (and getting a little lucky). You can't have a good grinded weapon without taking the risk to grind it. In my opinion, that's how it should be -- even though the system is flawed and probably should be overhauled a little bit. Since Guardians Cash was announced I've always thought that it was a stupid way to cater to the lazy players. Fortunately, Sega has decided against adding it to our game.
