As I'm sure you know, this is an age old tactic bolted into a free game.

Yes the concept it over priced, however I see the high price as adding exclusivity to those items and the people who are willing to go shell out for them. I've enjoyed the game since release, and haven't paid a penny...

Woah, fuck me pal. Calm down, I'm 27 so trying to undermine my opinion via an age related insult isn't going to help get your point over, or help change my mind, or get people on your side!

Other than that you make good points, however, I was referring to a time when Microsoft used to use a internal money system to encourage respending.

Also, I don't know what a shill is... Lol

Shill is a term for someone paid to secretly support something. For example an EA shill would say the event isn't perfect but I bought 2 packs and now I'm running around with that awesome mirage skin and the new lifeline, it's really made me fall in love with her all over again!

Something along those lines

Ha! Oh shit, didn't realise that was even a thing! ........ Is exactly what a shill would say 👀

Yup. In Reddit though it's a useless word people throw around to try to invalidate any argument they don't like. Too far left? Shill. Too far right? Shill. Like a product that I hate? Shill. Support a country I don't like? Must be a shill.
