i would not miss any level of $0.23 savings, or even four or five dollars but you are so correct that its the principle of the thing and i retract any statement or implication that edged in that direction.
i don't think i would ever buy a "big" pack of anything out of this game, mostly because I would feel pretty slimy internally for dropping anything i would consider 'serious money' on an incredibly predatory business model. $20 doesn't even buy lunch anymore! so i have no moral qualms about spending what i do spend (aurum pass, cheap golden tickets) on a per month basis as entertainment money, but man, miss me for the $75 buy-in level, that's messed in the head. I could have a nice dinner with someone else on that kind of outlay and it would include a beer.
not like i've never been tempted, to be fair, just... not for this game. and i've never actually caved, but at the same time my purity of purpose is kinda stained at the hem so i'm kinda preaching out the side of my mouth here because sometimes.. just sometimes, that bling looks awful good and anything that smacks of 'a deal' might the impetus to topple over that moral cliff that i hold so dear.
