Over the course of time that one player spends his $100 in payments the other player may have spent $1000.

Of course, but thatI is utterly besides the point.

As it stands, $100=$100.

 

Here's why I'd like it to stay that way:

Currently, I can spend say €10 on this game other month. That is €120 per year.

 

If €100 spent at once would buy me the same amount of gems I'd always feel shortchanged if I don't, but being able to spend €100 at once on a game is not going to happen regularly, not even on the scale of once per year. This in turn creates a resentment every time I *do* spend my €10. I can *guarantee* that I'll spend those €10 less often than I'd otherwise do.

 

This isn't hypothetical, this is experience for me - it's one of the reasons I've spent more on Store Currency for GW2 in two years than I did on LotRO in three years.
