This is a very biased and misleading 'poll'. It presents the case as though everything must be paid for in order to play this game, and that if you are ok with the devs keeping the overall cost of the game down by allowing players to voluntarily contribute and receive bonus cosmetic 'thank you' skins for their support, then you are an idiot and part of the "scheme"...
These items are cosmetic skins made by a totally different art department, that is totally separate from the other parts of the development team. If you don't want to donate and don't care about them, don't pay. very simple.
I for one would rather they do this than require a monthly subscription to play or block certain content and essential ingame features unless you do, like for example, a large amount of MMOs do (IE: EVE, since so many like to compare the two)
EVE's free game is a glorified trial version and if at any time you stop paying their monthly fees you have all your content locked until you pay them again.
This is as cheap as a $30 game if you start from scratch and do the pagan starter pack, and after that, you can play this game fully featured with your one character for free.
I agree, I would like everything to be free all the time, I wish my car and house were free too. But I personally actually like the current system, it allows you to donate or pay for some cosmetic stuff if and when you want, and keeps the game cost low while still putting voluntary money into it's development.
So even though it is worded incorrectly, I am still going to vote to 'pay for everything forever from now on' because that is not what is happening and won't be, hehe
