WildStar business model revealed

Jeremy "Gaffer" Gaffney posted a blog on the official WildStar website concerning the business models they will be using in the sales of their upcoming game. No, that was not a typo.

C.R.E.D.D. - Certificate of Research, Exploration, Destruction, and Development

C.R.E.D.D. is and item which can be bought online through the WildStar web shop with real money.

This opens variety of features, for both players selling C.R.E.D.D and those buying it.
