He wants you to tweak a couple of numbers, so that more people can do what only a few older players are able to do now .
(Did I completely misunderstand you, Stue?)
The numbers aren't a problem, and discussion on how much it costs and the like is perfectly fine. The problem is that currently you cannot buy rogue regions, and Tom has stated that this is very much intentional, and we cannot overrule him on that, even if we wanted to.
I personally think different risk levels with corresponding costs might be nice. High risk, low cost vs low risk high cost buying would make an interesting dynamic and give people without as much gold a shot while still giving people with a lot of gold to burn a benefit.
