Much like the Clashes.... Who cares...
This game needs less revenue schemes, less trying to screw money out of new players who don't yet know what goes on.
How about you remove half the crap from the Pro Shop, it's mostly junky and useless, remove most of the Nike skill enhancements as well.
New gear.... Until the game has some added real game mechanics implemented, new gear is uselss and simply a way to buy skill.
