How can you call it robbery when you're not forced to pay real money for it?

I wouldn't even call it robbery if they charged 1000 dollars for one warframe. Stupid price that I personally would refuse to pay, ofcourse, but... a bit of farming and you have it without having to pay anything...?

"If you give me X dollars, I'll give you [item]. If not you have to get [item] yourself" <- How the heck is that robbery?

It's not like the game itself is free, then they force you to spend real money for stuff in it. You simply have the option of doing so, yet the only thing you can get with real money/platinum, that you can't with in game credits is.. what..? Different colors to paint your warframe and weapons?

What I listed for those 29.99 was warframe and weapon SLOTS. For 29.99 you get all the slots you could possibly need for items currently in the game, unless you insist on having duplicates of something.

As an example: Guildwars 2, even though also free to play, cost more than 29.99 to buy in the first place... AND you have to pay real money for stuff like extra character slots.

Then again even with just the starting warframe/weapon slots you get, if you have 1-2 favorite warframes and weapon sets, you don't even have to buy new slots.

You can keep 2 warframes and use the last slot for whichever one you lvl just for mastery exp, then sell it off.

Seriously it's like there's a bunch of people out there that expect to get everything for free, without ever considering what that actually involves. Is it so hard to realize that if noone spent real money on platinum, there would be no game? But then again, if said people actually realized this, i assume they'd expect everyone else to pay so they could get the exact same things for free? The exact same things that other people pay for?

I seriously hope that mentality doesn't go further than games, because it's gonna become a seriously fucked up world if that's how people are gonna think and behave.
