most MMO's are not really for casual gamers. also everyone here seems to be forgetting that the payments aren't signed on a contract that forces you to pay for a whole year or something. you can buy one month, and just one month at a time, and not have to pay anything more for as long as you don't feel like paying. and buying 3 months at a time or so will probably give you a discount per month. even if you had to pay for xbox live, i still am not seeing how this is so bad and unfair. it seems like the entire community, at least here, is throwing a little temper-tantrum, which is honestly more surprising to me than the pay to play reveal was. i've got my financial problems to deal with to, but i just don't see why this is so controversial.
