I myself play a "few" subscription games,as I like to be entertained. I work for a living, might as well enjoy the "Gaming World" for as it is,free or subscription based.

Agreed. Actually, most of the subscription games I play have a purchase items scenario.

Premium is where I would have to figure out the debate part. Premium being a travel power,an emote pack,a costume pack,powers that really have no effect on PvE or PvP enviroments,yes..they all do. Actual powers or priviledges that put one in a distinct and clear advantage over the system or another player? This I have not come across yet.
Example: Just spent 10 bucks on the Ninja Pack for City of H****. Included a sprint power,costumes,and emotes. Yeah, I got ripped,but a fan of the series...lol!
Mind you,none of this affects any actual gameplay whatsoever,with the pure exception of being able to run a bit faster in the worlds. If used in PvP purposes,the person you'll be fighting 99.99% of the time will have the "superspeed" power,which pretty much nullifies it anyway.
