Meh, I find the people's whining about the MTX prices to be whelming.

The game is free.

For VERY modest cash layout, (of say, $20-40 USD for stash tabs) you could play this game at the highest level for years. That's an extremely reasonable price for what you get in return.

People like to claim that the prices are too high and that GGG would sell more if the prices were lower, but I say that GGG has the sales metrics, and the detractors don't. The prices are set where GGG thinks they should be. That's fine with me. I'll toss them some money if I choose to, and if I choose not to, I won't.

Hey OP, you see that "Redeemer" tag next to my name?

That means I paid to keep the lights on, the Data Centers running and the coders coding for the Abyss League. I paid for me, I paid for you, and I paid for 6-to-8 of your friends too. You're welcome.

And why do you think unique items take forever to get 3D art, yet GGG push out MTXs left and right?

That's because skin transfers sell for way less and having cool base skins eliminates the need for any MTX.

You are delusional if you think anything you buy is steered towards "supporting the game" as opposed to simply funding the resources. You are trading goods for money. You are not just supporting the game.

The term "Supporter pack" is a delusional package in its own right. You are paying for virtual and physical goods. If it were about Support only, a simple badge would be enough.

But no, people can't stand the fact that they would have to give and not receive. That's why you have to always give people something, even as a Patreon customer or Twitch streamer, because the pure "Support" is not intended for you, but for the payer's entertainment. Which in this form comes as shiny goods that appeal to the eye, even if essentially worthless.

You can't trade them. You can't sell them. Not even duplicates.

It's an entire system based around the idea to consume and consume.

That's why we have new packs every league. Harbinger packs got fucked because "OMG, too ugly!", but if you were a true SUPPORTER, then you wouldn't mind.

Imagine the money you invested in this game in the hopes of supporting the dreams of a few people. And then every few patches, you get slapped in the face.

I could have used that money to feed the homeless. What a shame.

What has been spoken is a universal truth, greed is displayed and it occurring much more in gaming industry than in past times. Thou could help many needy with spending so much, instead you make choice to give oneself bad karma. Mankind has much to learn about how this universe works, and what it means by having whole world at cost of your soul. Sadly many will learn hard way. Fact matter is the world has no right to charge one another anything, it was meant to be shared no one owning it, mankind don't own the building blocks they just used them even your very life itself isn't yours. Those in pride and greed shall fall with the world the Light will not sustain mankind much longer they have become too selfish and wicked, to sinful and lost.

Yeah, totally overpriced indeed... now tell me, how much is two stash tabs (currency and quad tab to be specific) compared to, say, D3 + Reaper of souls, huh?
I hope you get what I'm trying to convey here.
