My first kid had some struggles with understanding why it was absolutely ridiculous to spend hundreds of real dollars to e.g. get a particular Dominus in Roblox. It caused a lot of fights for about a year, but it finally sank in. When my second kid started playing he started down the same path. Caused a few arguments for a little while but, one day my first told him it was pretty stupid to spend real money on fake stuff and that was the end of the problem. I personally buy into things like that in places I want to continue to exist for a long time e.g. Rocket League, a handful of YT channels through Patreon, and even Roblox. Turns out it's really fun to play it with your kids if they're not constantly browsing the item shop and begging for Robux. I've never witnessed anyone talking down to the "lower class" except from insignificant trolls no one in the community respects anyway. Maybe it's different on discord but, if it is, I would blame the members of the community first, discord didn't invent the idea of selling cosmetics to keep the servers running and everyone needs to learn how to get over jealousy at some point in the their life.
