I don't fully understand this reaction. Don't get me wrong, I'd feel bad to keep pushing the price up if someone was spending real money, and would immediately back out if their quote was outside my price range, but Tox didn't really confirm whether their gems would be 100% purchased. People have bought imp scrolls on FR, and spent thousands on EVE online / FIFA / other games with sometimes predatory monetization. Another whale admitting to spending money on useless pixels doesn't seem that crazy to me.
Idk, I kinda get it? Their response felt very flex-y, like "I'll just keep throwing RLC at the game until I get this dragon". Usually nobody really has an issue with whales because it's either a non-competitive environment or not as directly in your face, usually you don't really see whales say that they will keep throwing money at the game until they get a thing another player is actively trying to get at the same time. Flexing how much pocket money you have, especially in those nebulous amounts has never been ok, you know?
