Well I do not think this will add anything to the game but at the same time I do not believe it will ruin it to any greater extent.
I follow Vipertech right now, there will be those who buy qi and it will be those who fight for it. The ones that buy the qi will gain a momentarily boost, they will be able to play with those who been playing for a longer time, they will face the ones that knows how to play the game.
Eventually this will might force these new players to learn the game, either they create a new account or they will try to learn from the older players.
