Yes, exactly, particularly with increasing the drop rate of rares. I don't like RIG's, and after a stint with giving a couple of them a fair shot (opening more than a few, I mean), I refuse to spend any cash on them. Not only do I think they are a waste of time and money (and I care not for how complex they make the game involved, it's basically just being nice enough to add some lube along with the a**l rapeage), I don't agree in the slightest with how Gaia looks ethically with releasing these sorts of things.
I voted with my wallet when Prom was announced, and gleefully bought all sorts of things with my remaining $15 in GC, dammit. :/
