Skills, gear, game knowledge, time invested..actually participating in the economy game we are all playing...
I'm sorry, but to me it feels like they crossed a line here.
(And yes I know they have before, but it doesn't make it any better)
This is a very slippery slope we are on now... the game, economy, community all suffer when sought after items and resources are available only or primarily from cash deposits that require no skills, gear, time invested
I would be more ok with this if there was some better effort IN GAME to add interesting loots/collectibles whatever to the loot tables and economy...
There are so many better ideas out there than this...
