I've done that when I've felt an online game is just trying to make me spend money at every turn. The online games that I enjoy playing are able to treat their customers as intelligent people who will pay for a good game without being forced into it. I enjoy the general game provided in TSO, and most of the events, but if other events end up being like 20th Anniversary Event, I might get annoyed enough to leave.
