Cost is relative. Enriched elu is 30 cents. Most of the people playing RO are vets who played 10 years ago, which means we're well into our 30's now. There are plenty of people in my guild who make 150-200k+ at their real jobs (which is easily $400-800 a day). 30 cents on enriched elu's is not much, literally could pass on a cup of starbucks and buy a bunch.
