"Level the playing field?" I've played enough EA games to know that if they can make extra money by getting people to spend money, they will. (If you play console games, you'll know about the "$10 Season Pass" that EA used to sell to people who'd bought used games, since preowned copies didn't have the code necessary to play online.)  Besides, if you're correct, why would they specifically create something to exclude those people who are willing to spend money on virtual trinkets? If anything, I'd think that EA would want to reward those people more, since they're who are keeping the game running by footing the bill for those who aren't dropping $$.

So no, I completely disagree with your comment.
