Honestly, I stopped buying 90 day equips long before permanent stuff was available. And there's no way I'll start again.
Permanent > nothing > time limited.
Last time they had a perma NX sale I bought some just to show them I'm willing. But unless it's immediately consumed (hair coupons, cubes, etc.) I want it to last until I'm bored of it.
Pets likewise, I'd buy the little looting bastards if they were permanent - when I heard they were adding perma pets I got all excited to charge one onto my Kaiser, and then it turned out they didn't have permanent looting items to go with it. Well then.
I don't mind spending $15 to give my character a permanent ability to loot without using the Z key. I do mind spending $9 for 3 months of that. I found the 3 month stuff felt like an obligation - oh, have to log on to take advantage of my pet. When it's permanent, I can use it whenever I'm ready.
To be honest I got fed up with playing my Kaiser/AB because they don't have permanent pets. Every 2nd quest in Heliseum wants me picking up 50 drops, and characters are less fun when you have to loot - you can't teleport freely around, or attack from a distance, you have to run up and stand on every loot pile for 5 seconds.
