Sorry, I knew I meant to tackle this in the original post, but I got all sucked up in the moment..
Ok, 14.99... Right...
There are roughly 4000 AH players... If this was WWII, we'd have only two teams of 2000ish players. Right?
Ok
In real life there were hundreds of thousands of players. So lets take 14.99 and multiply that by the difference in the player population... Lets call it 1000 to 1 to make it easy ok?
So, if you want one spy in real life at 1000 to 1 pricing do you think that $14990.00 is a really high price by WWII standards?
Lets consider that the standard G.I. insurance paid $10,000.00 on death, the U.S was willing to pay 10G for a standard issue soldier to die... You don't think they would pay 4g extra for a spy?
Sorry, spy's are a factor... They suck (I agree) and what makes them suck is that they are score padding sissy's... But, as a percentage of the player population, they are no more significant, and just as expensive as their real life counterparts.
