"In fact, EA recently changed the pricing scheme for Battlefield Heroes,
making some in-game items less expensive -- but harder to earn through
gameplay. Some vocal users have expressed anger at the change, claiming
it's no longer possible to enjoy the level of gameplay to which they'd
become accustomed without spending real money."

Classic bait and switch tactics. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
