Fair enough on the price, I haven't paid attention to most MTX pricing in a while.
While you can have commercials baked into updates and such, if the client is offline that does add in a couple other complications though. First, there's no guarantee that the ad will actually load (especially if the user legitimately has no internet). Second, and more importantly, though - if you are in offline mode, then to make the purchase you're going to have to exit the game, switch to online mode, relaunch the game and then go to the store. That's a lot of time for the user to overcome the impulse purchase urge compared to the one or two button presses that are required if you're online.
