I don't think I'm ever buying a game that has online pass.
That server argument is just ridiculous. They don't run game servers anyway so there's that, and all that's left is the user database server. The costs are probably almost non-existant: How hard can it be to create and store a new account? Not very, I guess. Besides, if they are willing to improve the experience and sales with persistent stats, they better be ready to pay for it too.
As for the 'devs deserve the money' argument, gaming industry is the only one that is really trying to get money from used stuff. I see it as my right to buy games used and get the full experience (whatever full even means these days, with on-disc DLC and all).
