Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand a little better now. The negativity is overwhelming and probably stems from other issues. Hopefully the admin or mods can help feedback.
I just thought they were testing the market. That's why the limited time offer. And that I wasn't their target audience.
I do think that some wealthy players might purchase tokens to buy these scouts. I know in other games, wealthy players pay other professional gamers an hourly rate to help them gain experience. This in comparison is nothing. If such players exist here and help keep the game non pay to win, I have no objections as a player whose only contribution is watching videos.
