This means, whatever amount of platin you buy, the value ist just a virtual idea of usage ingame. you generate the possibility
for you character to use a function or aquire an item (elite awake gems, chests, ankh, vanity), which might be of use or can be
traded in for another virtual ingame currency like "gold".
the trade you (and i) make, is paying real money for a ingame currency, which varies (sale or no sale) up from 70 to 100 USD.
now you own a ingame currency, which is absolutely worthless in real life but allows your character to do specific things in a game,
which could sometimes not be done by a non-paying char.
to even the balance in-game and don't make it a absolutely pay to win game, the creators allow some items to be tradeable and
the efforts in game to grind gold can be used to aquire items, which an plat-buyer can aquire for the ingame currency he bought.
long story short .. cunsumer rights 101 only applies where the money is spent in a trade. this is, when you buy the plat. not there after.
