t's a pretty good idea although having another black friday sale which, say, discounts everything by 60% would result in ggg having compensate millions of points towards players cause every transaction they ever made would be affected.

All transactions at the GGG eShop are one time one way transactions that AT THAT GIVEN TIME the customer is willing to accept to pay for.

that's right. but they only have representational value. which is equivalent to the price you supported for it. if that price varies over time, your "representation value" changes ... to the lowest price it was available.

of course it's ok for most people to buy on a reduced price, it gives you the item cheaper and you can look like a big supporter.

eventually, the sales price is the real price of a mtx. it's not worth to buy full price. which leeds to people hesitating to support cause the item can always get cheaper. in real life that effect is called item price deflation and it's much more dangerous for an economy than inflation.

how it really is: you buy an mtx full price and can show your amazing support until it gets on sale and everybody thinks you're a cheapskate who got lucky with boxes or used the sale to get it reduced.
