That's you and your own circle's enjoyment of the game, that doesn't really mean that was everyone's experience. I had a different experience from the game, that doesn't mean that you're wrong or that I'm wrong. Basing whether or not BL itself is a grift on personal experience doesn't really work, because that's your feeling on the game. You can feel scammed by something that wasn't a scam if it doesn't meet your expectations.
Did I say it was everyone's experience? I didn't. I simply stated my own experience and that of my friends, and agreed with the posters' based off that. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't really matter. The argument that we can't discuss our experiences with it or the like because someone else feels differently is irrelevant in the long run. Of course someone's going to feel differently. It'd be impossible for that not to be, but see, that's the point of talking about it and sharing our experiences and our thoughts on an official forum about the game. I value my time with the game and I have my own opinions that I would like to share in hopes it better shapes the game...as do you.
