It's already ridiculous enough that that the price is where it's at, just to register ownership of a simple website address. The fact that other domain extensions are almost astronomical in price is even crazier. However, increasing .com registrations, which make up nearly half of all domains, is nothing short of greed as it is both unnecessary and useless for everyone -- except the greedy pockets of those who don't have to do anything apart from collect the overpriced fees. 

If you keep pushing people then they will demand more intervention, which would bring about more legislative or even legal actions. Is this what you're trying to accomplish? 

Get off the side of greed for once and be an organization for the people. Self-serving, greedy systems like this are outdated and need to expire.

Thanks for your time.
