The funniest thing about the situation and your post is that it clearly depicts why this game is such a cash cow. They are ruining the game as they go along in order to have things to fix in the future. They are sabotaging the game in such a way that it will still appeal to a marjority50-60% and at these retarded prices that's all it takes to keep the cow milk coming. MY ADVICE: run. Run far away unless you want to see this price gouging and self sabotage business blue print used in the next iteration of your favorite game.
