I do agree that having Maria available only by purchasing her with real currency sets a dangerous precedence. This is the first "item" that is only available that way. The newbie package included Alexa and VIP 5 includes Dawnseeker, but they are also available in the game without having to buy them. The same is true for all of the "items" that you get from the different VIP levels. There are some game function that are only available by purchasing VIL levels, but those are not "items".
