UDE Point costs for in game items ridiculous?

Cost: 20,000 UDE Points for Fireworks Trinket
Cost: 50,000 UDE Points for the Ogre Suit Trinket
Cost: 2,500 UDE Points for the Tabard of the Frost

Not too bad on the last one until you read the fine print:

Requires 25,000 lifetime points!

100 points per pack of cards through point turn ins. Roughly $3.99 a pack in our area.

Crunch some numbers on that.

$798 for the Fireworks.
$1,995 for the Ogre Suit.
$99.75 for the Tabard so long as you have $997.50 worth of purchases.

I get that you want to reward loyal customers but this seems just a little overboard, don't you think?

While we certainly want to encourage discussion of the card game, we would appreciate it being carried out on the appropriate forums, either in our Off-Topic or in the Upper Deck forums.
