As someone else mentioned, the items which Rux sells which carry the super high prices are typically things which are either exclusive to him, like new alternate abilities, or things which carry the "Special" or "Legendary" classification.
For "Special" and "Legendary" items the high price tag is due to their rarity; you can either buy it immediately from him for what seems to be a high price tag or you can elect to wait for it to drop at random. For Legendary items and character pieces this could mean spending an exponentially larger amount of PvZ coins waiting for the RNG to drop what you're waiting for so for Players who have been around for awhile what seems to be a high price tag is actually a bargain in some cases.
For other "Special" or "Classic" items you can only collect a limited number of them from the Community Challenges and Mystery Portal events so this allows you to pick them up a little quicker than just waiting for the normal opportunities.
It's not that difficult to cache away coins in anticipation of the next time Rux opens his shop if you invest a decent amount of play time each week in the game and you exercise a little spending self-control at the Sticker Shop.
I've been wondering. Does RUX pull the same nonsense that packs do, reducing new items as you get closer to completion? I'm trying to realistically calculate how long it would take to complete the CP rewards.
Frankly, I don't think it will ever be possible to complete all the CP items.
- The stated purpose for the entire existence for Rux is to offer you the things you don't have yet, so I would expect that, much like the Phenomenal Character Pack and the Infinity Pack you'll continue to get new stuff without "filler" material until the items run out.
After that I suppose you'll either not be able to buy anything at all from him or maybe he'll just offer his exclusive Consumables forevermore.One thing RUX hasn't been doing lately is offering the new Legendary items exclusive only through him; those new items came in the FLF update. If RUX has at least 2 of them when he visits again, that'll be a start to earning all RUX-only items in GW2.
Fingers crossed.
