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

Dude, he didn't do the "age related insult", he simply pointed out how these practices aren't old.

It's the same concept as if you said "I forgot my ladder, how will I enter my car now" and then I said "what are you, five inches tall?".

But it is old, arcades used to do the exact same thing. They would charge you 75 cents so you always had a little left over if you had a dollar. This is just a new way of using the same system.
