While some of the things, such as a random unique item, are fine and won't have much impact on the fairness of the game, other things, such as buying volunteers for your units, is just asking for people to take advantage of the system.

Well, maybe if there are enough negative feelings about it, Tom will take it down. Maybe as early as tomorrow.  :P

Have any of you even tried getting them? I don't like how I can't order mass amounts of magic scrolls.

Well, you get what you pay for. BM is not free to maintain, and Tom depends on player contribution. I feel there should be some sort of pay-off for giving my money away. Also, the more we buy, the more money Tom has, and then he can take more time off from his real job to work on new features for the game.

So spend, spend, spend!

I believe you will find the unbalancing effect is not nearly as bad as you might think.  I would suggest purchasing one of the supposed "worst" of the lot (the troops seem particularly egregious to me) and see what I mean.

I know!  I purchased 50 additional knights for my elite cavalry unit just now, and unless I can't count, my cavalry unit is now 14 knights strong!
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Woah, you can purchase knights, as in extra characters? That's pretty cool, but how do you get past the 2 characters per continent limit?

Maybe you have to pay extra for shipping and handling? I'd imagine sending over horses would cost a lot by weight.

In the enduring exclamation of one of my classmates when he was crying in the bathroom: "Stop dumping on me! Everyone keeps dumping on me!"

And thus I withdraw my complaint about unbalanced April Fool's jokes.
