Being casual and not a millionaire does not entitle you to anything, at all. However, I do agree with you that the crystals on the pre-order vendor should be significantly cheaper for those of us that pre-ordered. None of them should be above 10k, at all.
But in the end, the reason for it is because bioware feels the economy, as is, is far too bloated and there needs to be more credit sinks, I do not disagree with this, but I still feel that the pre-order crystals need a 60-70% reduction in price.
