It began with solvents, it was enhanced by making various items in store tradeable (so those who didn't want to spend money themselves could get other players to spend money for them by paying them huge amounts of gold), the notion that players would actually buy their BiS gear was introduced by players (raid loot selling), it was tested by adding high end shoulders and rings into new boxes with new keys, and now it's being expanded. Only one conclusion to draw - enough people bought it. The only missing cog at the moment is the limited avenue to generate high amounts of gold, but, I guess that's on its way.
Game has lost the plot.
