How dare Arenanet as for $30 every 2 years for new features that take hundreds of hours to develop on a subscription-less service. It's unconscionable that they would demand something to offset hardware costs for the servers, electricity, bandwidth, and some jerk's salary to make sure it doesn't melt into the floor. Putting mounts behind an expansion that includes hundreds of hours of other content, I can't believe we the players let them get away with such a reasonable price.
