I happen to agree with Bloodsport Bloom here; if there's a system that rewards whales without hampering casual players then I couldn't care less. I have no interest in virtual dick-waving in an otherwise non-competitive game. If some F2P players really feel cheated that paying players are getting an additional reward then they have a choice: pay, get over it or leave; it's not like anyone is making money off of them anyways and in case anyone forgot this game's purpose is generating revenue.
Speaking of generating revenue, I'm sure X-Overd wasn't shut down because it was profitable and I'm pretty sure that it hadn't been profitable for some time. Unless someone has concrete numbers, comparison and speculation using one game to try to predict the death of another is pointless.
