EPIC post of the year award goes to Krzak87.
And this is what I'm talking about in a nutshell, broken down.

Let's not forget constant 30% scrolls and stuff. How much does a new player have to spend to be 'competitive' end game ? I'm talking top tier PvP with all the best stuff 24/7. Short answer, way too damn much. The price to try your 'luck' for 30% scrolls will kill the active, around the clock PvP like Rohan used to be. Nobody wants to get rick rolled 10k times and drop mega $$$ on Lucky7 only to get the brown end of the stick.

And LOL @ all that stat inflation.
