You are seeing this right. The problem are economically challenged people whose greed is getting the better of them. Sorry if that sounds arrogant but I already have trouble with people being able to sub 8 characters with kamas. It is these people that then also call those "stupid" that pay real money for their subscriptions and Ogrines and sell these Ogrines in the game for the former to sub their eight characters.
You can say that multi accounting was a privilege of either those who could simply afford it or those who (ignoring the rules) shared their accounts. With the introduction of Ogrines, multi accounting has also become a privilege of those who don't have a life and spend all day playing so they can earn the kamas to by Ogrines off those "stupid" people who sink real money into the game. It is hypocrisy at its best.
In my opinion it is a mistake of Ankama's to hand out subscription gifts when subscribing as opposed to when paying real money for kamas. After all, it is the real money that keeps the company afloat and not the kamas people farm.
And before anybody gets any silly ideas. No, I don't sell Ogrines. What I pay for with my money, I either use myself or that expires when I don't feel like playing. So essentially, I am not affected by this change.

Yearly subscription =/= kama buyer. Many people here have played Dofus for multiple years, so they have been able to afford a yearly subscription, which is actually cheaper than 12 monthly subscriptions if bought with money. Of course people bought yearly subscriptions before ogrines too.
The money is important for Ankama, but the fact that subscription gifts are originally based on subscription length, instead of total length of subscription, suggests that the gifts are there to encourage players to stay long, not just pay money.

I buy ogrines for my own 8 accounts. I buy 47 thousand ogrines to subscribe my accounts. All I can get are fucking gobtubbies, because Im subscribing 8 accounts instead of 1. I dont get anything usefull from ogrines. I always thought "I'm paying the same fucking amount of money as someone who subscribes for a year EVERY MONTH almost, so why dont I get a good gift Whats the difference?".
Solution 1: Sell gobtubbies, buy pink dragoone/parasymbic hat.
Solution 2: Sub one less account and use that money to subscribe one account for a year.
Solution 3: Pay 1/8 more money than you already do to sub one account for a year.
Cell phone companies give you expensive phones for practically free if you sign up for a contract, but not if you go pre-paid. If you pre-pay, even if you pay continuously for years, they won't give you the free phones the contract subscribers get. It's the same logic here. It might feel unfair for the consumers but the choices are given to them.
A few times I'll sub for a year on 1 account to get a goone or parasymbic, I think in fact I've only done that twice!
