DK - That is understandable about the runes but if $2 is going to buy you 2.5k in aurum, you can't even get the Belts of Staff One.. Commons can get pretty spendy. If people don't get something in return (runes for beautiful limited-edition monthly items that raise in value over time due to the law of demand), why would they donate? That is the purpose of the monthly items. They are an incentive to get people to want to donate. I think that is how all avatar sites make money unless I missed one that doesn't do it in that way..
