Considering that fourstar covers used to cost 2500 HP Before CP were introduced... No, I don't really Think 2500 HP is extremely expensive. I'd only buy sorely needed covers at that cost, but I certainly don't regret the game changing covers I bought for HP back in the old Days.
Alas, this is all academical since I have the 3600 HP price Point, and that is too much to pay IMO - the added goods do not make up for the price increase.
It depends a bit on where you are in the game. If you are still building up your roster then HP is precious and should only be spent on roster spots. Once you get to the Point where you have everyone you need rostered the flexibility increases quite a bit. If you are farming two-stars (and really, you should be), then you earn plenty of HP even accounting for the need for roster spots and can easily spend a bit here and there.
I outright bought the thirteenth covers for Hulkbuster and Jean Grey back when they were the king and Queen of the game. I was able to rely heavily on them to get good placement in both PvP and PvE, so I'd like to Think those investments paid off well. But I wouldn't consider spending on a cover unless I was sure it would make a large difference for me.

Plus, people would probably just be mad at the reason, not believe the reason, or misinterpret the reason anyway. See bolded quotes above. Random selection is not a trade secret. It's fundamental to any comparative study. So either you were talking about something else, or just filling space with nonsense.

Tough one to pass up, since it unlocks the power. But are you willing to plunk down 120 CPs to keep it going? If not, the fact that it unlocks the power might not make a huge difference in the long run.

Incidentally, I was talking about something else and I'm still not sure how you're getting your interpretation out of what I said. I have always assumed that who got what price was decided at random. The "trade secrets" I'm talking about refers to what they are doing with the data, not how they picked who got what price.

b. I can buy out the complete Starlord store for 5600 HP. In return, I get 1 starlord legendary, 1 4*, 6 heroic tokens, 3 Starlord 3* covers, 18500 ISO and 13 2*.I would take the Startord store even if they were offered at the same price, let alone for 1600HP less.

Uh, why? One token and a 4* for 5600 is ridiculous. People just need to stop spending money on this game. Compared to how much it would take to get anywhere now with so many characters, it's like spending $100 per pack of baseball cards. More than ever this game is for people with more money than sense.

The way HP drops in this game now, especially for VIPs, you're going to spend it on something.
