LB Rewards - Mod/Devs Question

[octavos]

It's not extorting...either you can afford it or you cannot - just like real life!

For someone like me, who is much too busy to be running an event for the vanity - I'd much rather pay someone a great deal of gold who went through the trouble of running the event.

Yea with the gold inflation the way it is..only the rich would trade amongst themselves, So I say nope.
Real life any player can just buy the plat and buy them so i see no justification from a LB runner (its a prize for the LB runner). Plus the devs can get income on top of that...I see a win/win for average players and devs.
