I think we are seeing a new side of @cracicot here, more positively and energetic.... Perhaps, it's because of the sunny weather or somebody just got a rise at work?
I think it's a great idea, perhaps somebody should send/inform the Dev's about this. It's as you already said, just another way for them to make money and a way to "satisfy" their customers as well. Of course, the T-buyers will benefit from this, but at the same time - It's only the T-buyers who buy scouts at the first place.
