There's no justification for it. Even if I don't spend a dime myself doesn't mean it's not sick that I paid for this game and every expansion pass and still have items blocked off from me.
It doesn't matter what items your selling.
It doesn't matter how cheap they are.
You're taking advantage of people and it's wrong. It's not a debate.

It's business, that is all the justification a business needs. Not sure how they are taking advantage when it is the customers choice to buy or not. This is not a F2P game deal where you need to spend money to be competitive. Do I like micro-transactions, nope, but these things are around because gamers buy the stuff. So, if you want to blame anybody, or throw anger in some direction, then aim it at the gamers.
