I thought we both agreed that selling tenders is bad, so I don’t even understand wtf is going on here.

Just because I agree Tender shouldn’t be sold doesn’t mean I agree with the weird scarcity theory. You got upset, I bowed out. That’s really all there is to it.

It’s not a weird scarcity “theory” when Tenders have, by their very definition, artificial scarcity. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that until one decides to leverage that to try to get money from people.

“We made a staff for this set, but we’ll put the Staff on the Trading Post and make sure the set comes with enough tender for you to get it. Then we can see how many of our players use the 500 tender to buy the Staff or to buy other things. The more that do the latter, the more likely it is we can just sell Tender on the cash shop since that’ll demonstrate that players are cool with spending $5 USD per 500 tender.”

And what’s so nefarious about that?

Whether it’s ‘nefarious’ is debatable. Why it’s not exactly a great practice is something that can be inferred by reading various posts in this thread, some by me and some by others.
