“Bioware must not partake in micro transactions.  Micro transactions are the franchise killer. Micro transactions are the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face these money grubbing business practices. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when they are gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the micro transactions have gone there will be nothing. Only quality gaming will remain.”

Unless you're Guild Wars 2. Then again GW2's micro transactions are pretty much appearance and services. Even when live season 2 came online all you had to do to get the DLC is log on during the two week period it was introduced. After that, yes, you had to pay but the opportunity was there.

Not saying I want them. I'm praying if they have them they'll stay in MP, which means I don't care. The only micro transactions I can think of for MEA SP would be weapons, new skins for npcs or armor. I don't see them pulling a pay to win, and I'd think any story content would make more sense going into a DLC rather than cutting it up into tiny bites.

In the UK people go for diesel as you get far more mpg; which isn't that surprising considering the fact that the price of petrol at the pump in the UK is currently about £1.14 a litre (something like 3x the price of petrol in the US). Diesel, until recently, was generally a couple of pence a litre dearer since demand outstripped supply - refineries have upped their diesel production in the past year though so the price has come down to being in-line, or slightly cheaper, than petrol.

It's not a trade barrier but simply that petrol is expensive so diesel cars are more appealing; I drive a petrol car currently and have a 52 mile round trip commute to work. I spend about £2000 a year on petrol alone. I could probably halve that by switching to a diesel.

Diesel used to be cheaper in Canada (by a wide margin), but that was due entirely to the difference in taxes being levied. Combine that with the better fuel efficiency, and diesels were a no-brainer.

And yet most people didn't drive them.
