I'm curious how you feel about KoL's pay-to be better? (Destiny)

In Kingdom of Loathing, the game is free. Each month you can pay $10 to get a special, powerful item that will only be for sale for that month. This is what they do in lieu of a subscription service. Also, the items that you can buy each month are tradeable (everything in that game is tradeable, actually), so there's a robust in-game economy that revolves around buying and selling the items-of-the-month, holding some for months or years, and reselling for millions more than their initial price.

I should mention that while the items of the month are not required to "beat" the game, they are incredibly powerful, usually have unique properties no other items in the game have, and sometimes even unlock additional content.

Anyway, how do you feel about a system like that?
