Yes i recongise these early AI work and they are good for those who have a good story and cannot express themselfs due to lacking the equidment to do so and yes now sadly this gives us a bad taste in our mouth perhaps this will stay. I can also understand i these primitives ai tools can give us some surreal pictues that can be loved and uprageded upon. A disclamer might not be needed I do not know for sure.
About what you said about the items I think its not about that they are overpreiced but more about the fact that they are not adequately distriputed on the map therefore detoriating the gameplay.
