Ok, whatever. The typical user isn't going to read pages of user agreements and snoop through online FAQs before signing up for a damn MMORPG sub. Say what you want about me apparently not putting up enough effort in researching my MMORPG fees, I am thinking realistically.
As I said before, every other major MMORPG I've played (and I've played MANY of them) has a prorated subscription or a custom billing cycle for each user based on when they resubscribed. SE did this either to nab extra cash for subscriptions or out of pure laziness to set up a system like their competition. | Any time I am spending money, I make damn sure to know how much I am spending, and make sure to read the fine print. Caveat emptor.
