I read a bit about the game last year (fall I'm guessing?) and came away with the impression air drops would be mostly purchased, and contain a shot at weapons and other "good stuff". Not exactly sure what I read, but that was my impression. I think the outrage is mostly due to the screwed up drop rate of elite items, and the small radius of the air drop - both of which are apparently being altered as I type. If they had been as intended I doubt we'd be seeing as much hate.
Apparently most people didn't come away with the same impression, so I can't really see it from their perspective - but I do understand the outrage to a point. I still don't think it their assumed intention qualifies as P2W (I've sniped a couple, and I believe they'd love to see a lot of competition for them, no matter who purchased it) but I'll certainly be glad to see it changed to make the situation more competitive and the drops of guns/ammo less common.
After all, this is "Early Access/Alpha". It's important to remember that. A lot of people complain about shit expecting a finished product, so they go in unreasonable from the start.
For the most part, though.. it's the ultra fanbois against the people who would hate SOE no matter what they did. As usual.
Edit to add: After reading those few things last year I completely forgot about the game until 1/14 when I saw EA was releasing the next day and said "Ehh, why not? I'm bored enough for that."
