6 Indian cars at a price between 3-4.5K USD

As I said, outsource to India. Poor bastards manufacture and sell brand new cars at the price of 1.5-2 ggg uniques. A real product, manufactured by real materials, shaped and assembled by expensive machines with the help of human power. Not a bunch of pixels.

At a price of 2.5K USD a whole team of indian designers will make at least 50-60 top quality virtual items. With passion and dedication.
Then profit. GGG why are you sleeping...

those cars also cost you a pair of balls....

no self respecting man that had a choice would drive one lol

To drive those cars you will need huge steel balls (no one safety belt in whole world could save yours life). This "self respecting" speech is really funny. :)

If this is true, that's a shame. Even knowing about the backlog, I've been considering buying the old 1,000 USD unique pack for years now. It's always been hard for me to justify dropping so much in one sitting on something like that, though. Moving the price up to 2,500 moves it from "one day" to "never" for me.

Guess I'll stop theory crafting those unique item proposals.

Yes, if true, same boat.

The price increase is because of the time that Rory is tied up trying to balance Lostartz's uniques xD

Cospri items OP OPPPP

I mean, it makes sense to me. Price is a function of supply and demand, and the supplier is limited by cost of providing product or service. That, plus reading about how startups ALWAYS go over budget, means GGG is long overdue for a price change.

Entrepreneurs tend to be familiar with this. No matter how much time you spend planning, an unforeseen cost comes up. And another unforeseen cost. And another, and another. For the successful entrepreneurs, though, total revenue increases far more dramatically, usually by volume of sales.

Waaat? These are the cream of the crop of the economy car segment!

Check out this beaty, the base model costs around 1.8 ggg uniques.

They also have a large percentage of their population that makes less then a few dollars per day. It's easy to make things cheap when you basically have slave labor.

Exactly! That's why ggg should outsource on their way to total world domination.

At the price of a single first world unique item they can make a whole indian district manufacture top quality uniques altogether with their physical copies, in great numbers. Think about it.

2500 to get it nerfed 2 patch later.
Sign me in

After watching Cospri's Malice get nerfed 3 months after it's creation there's no way I'd pay the previous price to make a unique let a lone the current one.

i was just thinking reading this "why the hell would anyone pay that much for a unique?". i mean that seriously too. if you are just going to pay them to have it nerfed a few months later its pretty worthless.

$1k will build me an all new PC to play stuff on. which the way the PC industry is atm I can use that PC for upwards of 5yrs minimum without 'really' having to replace anything.

$2.5k though?

..i mean i there is tons of things i can think of that $2.5k could go toward.

LOL

Fuck that HAHA

People are free to do what they want with their cash and we all benefit from more donations to GGG.

If someone wants to spend $2.5k to make a unique that no one uses and trades for 1 alt - then who are you guys to say otherwise?
