You only get all that extra stuff because you are paying for it. I would hope any time you have your credit card linked to a game you get extra stuff. The problem is that over the last couple weeks, CG has turned this game into hot trash- showing their greed for money while ignoring player feedback at the same time. They have also increased the gap between f2p and p2p so far that it is just not enjoyable anymore as a f2p player. Being reminded that you aren't paying gets very old especially when they constantly light up everything you can't claim.
