Expansion packs are *effectively* mandatory if you want to keep up with the game and not be left behind in a no-man's land of dead servers and content that no-one plays any more. WoW is good in this regard because expansions are few and far between (only 1 so far, way less than its competitors in a similar time-frame), and patches are usually jammed with new content.So, although WoW is not as clear-cut a case as you make out, I can still grok the idea of a system where you pay for extra content without which you are essentially uncompetitive, and the game ceases to have utility.Is that really the case with vMini's? Again, not really. You don't have to use them, you can use tokens, which by all accounts will be free. The game table doesn't cease to work for you because you don't have shiny 3D models of the beasties you're fighting.All of which I say while, essentially, agreeing that extra payments -- however micro -- for 3D mini's are a very bad idea indeed.</blockquote>
