They might be more than you paid, but they're certainly not what I would call "expensive". 😀 If you want to buy 1M LVL, then yes, it would probably cost around 3000 HIVE. But right now you can get 10k LVL for around $25. That's enough to play the game for weeks, even months, and it's still enough to make a nice big impact on your wallet if this thing takes off like it could. $100 gets you 40,000 LVL tokens. How many bags do you have that hold 40k of anything?!? I think I have one (other than LVL) and I don't think it has near the potential this does.
If you think it's expensive now, wait til the game comes out and rocks peoples' worlds!
Just sayin'...
You kind sir are assuming the floor stays! More who buy floor will raise! People better get it before it goes much higher!
