I'm sure they will have SOME decals/camo that are more expensive. One advantage of microtransactions is that they can have multiple price tiers to cater to vanity, status, etc.. It would be seem like a gaping marketing hole to have all the camos at $0.99 and not have some select $5 and $10 ones.
They will probably be tiering up 8%-15% of their stock divided among, say, $2, $5 and 10$.
Any higher than 15% and it won't feel as exclusive to those of us looking to purchase (even though it's digital and easily reproducible, we want the illusion that only a few are available). Also, the low-/non-paying base will complain that too much of the stock is higher-priced.
Any lower than 10% and SOE would be loosing revenue opportunity.
They might also have single-player ones that are auctioned off. There is absolutely no pain and pure gain in this for both players and SOE.
