"Adding in my thoughts: I believe this seasonal pet structure is well designed for a long term game health and funding model. I feel like people are getting hung up over the "buy it now!" price."

Except there only is a 'buy it now' price. The announcement said the items are 'likely' to return, and if they do, there's no hint on how they will be obtainable. Easier? More difficult? More expensive? Will they even return at all? 'Likely' is not a confirmation that they will return.

No matter what way you slice it; 60$ every 3 months is 60$ every 3 months. Whether you spend 65 cts every day, or 20$ each month, it all amounts to the same. It's hecking expensive, especially to do so every 3 months.

"As an example, if I buy the Chest+ Full Equip Set (+2 extras, if I'm not subbed) each month, I will get the seasonal pet after just 2 months of a season. "
While, yes, if you buy that, you'd have it in 2 months. Except you'd also be stuck with duplicate copies of clothing that you cannot use. Even if you spread it out over all 3 months of the season, you are forced to buy at least some duplicates to get all the tokens. Duplicates you cannot use, and you then have to sell for non-premium currency. And imagine everyone doing that. Everyone will be having duplicates, so who is gonna buy yours?

It would be a good system if the 4 seasonal pets would stay the same forever and the free claims didn't expire. The way the system is set up now though, is absolute garbage.
