They aren ' t shady practices , they ' re sales tactics . There are many other sales tactics they could use , but they all come with their drawbacks . People need to be realistic about these sorts of games , the developers salaries server costs have to be paid . As F 2 P games go CotLI has very fair practices overall though I do think their chest prices are a little expensive should be $ 4 . 99 for 7 and scale from there ie ~ 1 epic for $ 5 spent . If we demand changes that negatively affect their sales they ' re either going to stop supporting the game as much and move onto greener pastures or raise prices to compensate . <| sep |> holidaypirates dude . you can get some deals with flight hotel transfers etc for around 400500 bucks
