that's why i think they'll sell all price fluctuations as a discount from the "regular" price (which will match what the highest fluctuation price would be). people fucking love getting deals, even if they're fake

Indeed. When WoW was in its early beta stages, they had a system where you could only get a certain amount of experience at a time before you'd suffer a 50% debuff to exp gains, a debuff that would go away after being offline for a while. Players hated it. In response to that feedback, they instead called the 50% debuffed exp rate the standard and offered a 2x "rested" bonus that you could accumulate by being offline for a while. Players loved it, despite it being functionally identical to the original system and just being framed as a bonus for not playing instead of a penalty for playing too much. As far as I know, the Rested system is still in the game today, almost 20 years later.

It's really quite easy to manipulate people into thinking they're getting something good without actually giving them something good.
