I really isn't any more pay to win than things already there. It's just another straw. Who wants to chuck it on the camel this time?
the new perks should be added at no charge to the existing subscription. that is basically a 30% sub increase.
A "perk" is something extra you get - as part of an incentive for doing something. It is not a "perk" when you pay for it.
100% they should rotate every month (maybe with each patch). They should also rotate in / out season items during the seasons that apply.
Gadget Pack sounds like a combo item (multiple items in one). I think they should generally avoid "Packs" and stick with individual items in a 2-week rotation. And if they offer packs, the individual items should also be available as a stand alone purchase (rather than forcing Players to buy multiple items when they only want one of the items). After all, more people will buy a cheaper single item than will buy a more costly bundle / pack just to get that one item.

Goodness, I hope none of these doomsayers purchases from Amazon. Employees paid like peons while the owner flies to space while his 500 million dollar yacht is being built.
Capitalism at its finest. A business needs money to grow. Hopefully they use it to reinvest back into EQ.
which is still not good. I wish the conversations I had on this forum and in DMs with devs back when they - without say anything - nerfed opening XP on Phinigel to sell XP pots. More pay to win isn't better. It's just more pay to win. Sitting under the outhouse and saying, well, you may as well finish isn't better than it stopping.
