Its a pity, too. I bet Im not alone when I say Id pay a solid one time price to be free to play and enjoy this title. But instead, it offers a confusing economy to dupe weak minded or unsuspecting people into sliding down this pay to win money pit. My seven year old and I played for the weekend (we loved it), but he couldnt understand why I wouldnt just drop *$99.99 on their special discounted new players mega package. *They do not even print the dollar sign "$", but it is for real money.
