I don't mind paying extra for content, I work so I can do that, and I think having the thing is worth whatever is a reasonable cost, even if I sometimes have to have less of the thing.
I have never ever drawn a dollar down from the game. I work there so I can live there.
And I use my group to build a community, do we not need those any more?
