Horse armor is completely ethical, compared to this. That's how bad this is. Horse armor was paying for additional game files you otherwise would not have. Same idea as an expansion pack... just smaller. (And dumber.) But this shit? This is already in the game. You can see it even if you pay nothing. You can probably get it, even if you pay nothing. It's just obscenely unlikely, so they can make up a high number and say that's what it's "worth."

Which is why this is a scam. This entire business model is numbers pulled from a hat. The people taking your money control the whole environment for giving them money. They can make you desire absolutely worthless things. That's how games work. That's what games do. This trick is the reason you give a shit about baskets and captures and... enchanted scimitars. None of it is real. The game could give everyone a million, and it would cost nothing.
