This is a very foolish post. It's pretty lousy flame bait, too, if that is
what you intended. Your questions have immediate obvious answers, and I do
not think you are asking them so much as blindly pissing on something that
irritates you. You also repeat yourself.

Why would anyone pay 3000 dollars?  Because they want what's being sold.

Why would somebody want to buy a godhood when they can "get immed" at a
couple of hundred different muds? Well, uh, clearly godhood on those few
hundred Muds has little or no value. Achaea is a thriving society worth
coveting.

I will ignore the parts where you tell us that not everyone has money.

Your single point seems to be that the Gods are so important to the world
that picking them by any other quality than pure competence will actually
lose Achaea money in the long run by lowering the quality of the Mud even
if it makes a number of $3K bundles.  I might agree that $3K is actually
low, yes, though that's probably not what you think you're saying.
