I don't understand how letting players pay money to avoid grinding for items isn't a douchy move. It either means they think you will have less fun if you pay less (otherwise people wouldn't be motivated to buy shortcuts) or that they are making you pay extra for an easy mode.
I didn't say it wasn't douchy. I said it's available in the game. The first game it wasn't an option to purchase them and it still worked the same way. It clearly isn't a business decision first. It still sucks they're selling it.
