First I would like to thank BFS for their responsesiveness to complaints related to this release/upgrade. It is rare in this often impersonal world. Second, comparison to retail stores that deal in tangible merchandise is (to my mind) a little shaky. Producers of tangible products have formulas for pricing. And when an item doesn't sell they have to find a way to get rid of it. When a virtual item dosn't sell the developer doesn't have anything to get rid of, they have NOTHING. Especially no profit. I have no idea what this particular piece of development cost,  how long it took  creative, educated, intellects to think of it, render it artistically, and program it; or what these people are paid, or the cost of running the business. But, some people purchased virtual gems with "real world cash" to purchase a virtual item that was after reflection, ridiculously overpriced. Given the magnitude of the difference between the original and the revised price I think a refund is due. Third part of the problem is the hackers who purchased with stolen gems. In spite of the grey legal area involved in virtual shoplifting they  certainly don't deserve a refund.
