"Good that was the intention. Hopefully more people will consider supporting DE."

This is ridiculous. First off, many people already do support DE, and now even they find themselves in a spot where they're being manipulated? Screw that.

A big part of why people respect Warframe so much is that it generally has a very fair business model. If you want something now you can buy it, but if you would prefer to you can work towards it instead. The economy doesn't depend on gambling mechanics and the amount of effort required to earn most things (especially Warframes and to a lesser extent weapons) is very reasonable.

Decisions like this risk the goodwill that DE has accumulated. In the short-term, sure, some people will likely spend money to avoid the wait and the subsequent grind. But you only get one reputation, and it's generally not worth hurting for a quick buck.
