  I think this will bite them in the end. Didn't they ultimately promise this is something they wouldn't do when they were launching BF3. Lesson learned on my part, probably should have known better to trust what a corporation says anyway. I think its ridiculous to expect them to keep to their word here.
  
  It is already bad enough they said they wouldn't sell map packs but instead they are selling "expansions" and they are selling various other items like dogtags and services to boost your rank.
