On a somewhat related note - what's with all the "stop focusing on MTX and fix your game instead" outrage?
i would normally say it's people that would like to be charged upfront for content but i also read that nonsensical argument from supporters. pure unwarranted entitlement in this case.
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Maybe I just remember it wrong, but prices have already gone down a bit, haven't they? I mean, I remember packs costing somewhere around 500 bucks or more and the current packs are around what, 60?
It depends on the time frame honestly. I remember when I first joined closed beta, there was a Diamond Supporter pack that was $1000. I do recall seeing packs priced around there more than that time, but not every single release. On this latest expansion, it doesn't exceed $500, but unless they've consciously decided to keep it under that now, I don't see why we won't see a supporter pack costing $700 again in the future on a major expansion.

I solved the problem of MTX, thanks to the very negative feedback from my bank on Xsolla.
No money through Xsolla, no money for GGG.
The game works the same.

Yeah, it's gotten progressively worse so I imagine the whales are pumping up the prices.
With everything that's going on with this game and GGG, I'm going to throw some support behind one of their competitors. I just don't think GGG cares about the average player anymore and I want to support a company that still does.
This game and this company are just a shadow of what it used to be. It's sad to watch.
GGG doesnt need to care about the average player if that doesn't bring them money.
they targeted the whales.
they don't care about your 10$ here and 10$ there. they care about the op's 10 000$
they have targeted the people who don't mind spending 2000$ to create their own unique item.
they Targeted the people who buy 2 sets of supporter packs just so they can have 2 tigers out.
They targeted the people who buy enough mystery boxes to make the hybrid set.
they targeted the people who's gaming budget for the year is in the 2500-5000$
my 30-60$/league is pennies for them, I'm not the one they will be targeting to fund their next expansion.
I can't overstate how wrong you are. At every turn. My $30kUSD is a piss in the ocean compared to how much they make from people in the $30-60 per league support range. It's a basic numbers game, but apparently not basic enough for you to understand. It's much easier to sell a lot of cheaper things than it is to sell a handful of really expensive ones.
GGG say they take care of their whales but I've heard way, way too many horror stories of Diaternals getting screwed over with their item designs to really believe that.
GGG absolutely do care about smaller contributions because combined they're massive. Simply massive.
I know how many Diamond packs sold in the Closed Beta period, and I can tell you: it was about 240. That's roughly $240,000 USD in GGG's pocket. Sounds like a lot, right? But they made over $2m USD from the Closed Beta support packs. Do the math.
wow, incredible that you outsmarted their whole marketing department...
I'm sure they have numbers to back up their pricing.
I'm also sure you don't have numbers to back up yours.
Accountant: hey we made MILLIONS on supporter packs but only 10's of thousands on this expensive item...
Marketing: Awesome lets go with the option that made us less money
Accountant: brilliant strategy mate!?
who does that?

YOU SPENT $10,000 ON THIS GAME!?!?!?!?!? 0.o THAT'S THE DOWNPAYMENT TO A HOUSE 0.o !?!?!?! Jesus Christ.... there are literally starving kids in Africa 0.o
That, as a claim, is roughly as credible as the dude claiming to get 20 sets of boots from 35 random MTX boxes. It could have happened ... but it doesn't seem entirely likely.

My art sells for $100 a drawing, and I can't keep up with demand. I guess I should lower the price to $25, you know, because someone wants me to.

if you're driving a shitty ford, and you're heading to work, and you realise everyone else is driving this great looking ferarri, you'd want to get one for yourself, right?
So you're saying that Ferrari should drop their price because seeing rich people drive them makes people jelly?
That's the way that the world works, mate. Either put in the work to make the money to buy the shiny stuff, or make peace with not having it.
You can be reasonable about it too -- I generally buy packs every cycle, and that's given me dozens of weapon MTXes and maybe 10 sets of armor MTXes basically for free. Just because you spend a lot of money (to support the game) doesn't mean that you need to buy every armor set that they release.
