I did those kirins for roughly a month (two?) and I've never seen him charge anything but 20k. From day1 I realized he's profiting off it, albeit not a great deal of profit; it's not difficult, however, to divide cost by # of people. This, plus the fact that he gave himself divine right to the first wlegs (in a "freelot" shell) just because he made the shell really didn't rub me in the right way. Everything the guy does, he clearly does to manipulate others to gear himself; I'm just surprised people don't wisen up sooner.
