I'll just say it because apparently reading is hard or simply cherry picking points on my post.

BR and RU players abused the reduced rates on Steam Wallet to buy Mogstation items. They then re-sold the items for profit. This was roughly 1 month before Stormblood. Investigations to find the reason why takes time.
Yes, its the classic case of "this is why we can't have nice things". The majority losing good stuff because some people abuse it. The article you mentioned on your post is very interesting, but I don't think it hits straight to the point of why we are upset. Alright, the price raised, but why did they do this the first patch after the expansion, without any blog post or previous notice? This is the main reason a lot of people are upset. They spent money on the expansion they might not play now because its on a price range they might not be willing to pay. Its just too shady.
