Seems like the pinnacle of a pay to win game to me.
I agree that the whole 'credits' thing turns me off as well and I, personally, would approach this game with caution since I'm not a fan of P2W.

I wonder if Trion will ditch Hackshield for its release.
Besides Lineage 2, I can't think of an Asian MMO that was popular in the U.S. (or was picked up by a well-known company and marketed to be popular in the U.S.) which kept its anti-hack software when it was brought here. Aion and TERA are two games from Korea that still use GameGuard in Korea, but neither game launched here with that terrible software. I would imagine that Trion won't use such software in the English version, but only those in the alpha or on the alpha forums can find out this information. /shrug
