MTX Value for money

if you make it cheap enough so EVERYONE can afford to buy something and youve now gone from 10000 "supporters" to 1000000 "supporters" not that difficult GGG your making more money

doubt it scales this way, they wouldn't make more money from a million players supporting one dollar than from one guy supporting a million dollar (if you look at the extreme end).

there are transaction costs for credit cards and there is support you have to deliver to your customers

Anyone who claims MTX prices are too high has no idea what it means to be a F2P game developer.

You're comparing POE paying $20 for a skill effect to other f2p games that would net you a whole lot more than single skill effect for the same price

they were also bought by Tencent for a lot of money you cant say they're indie anymore

I spent $400 over 10 years in this game. I might have bought more if the stuff was cheaper. Because I mean you can try out new looks and complete them and stuff. If it wasn't so stupidly expensive. I mean, destructively expensive potentially to people's bank accounts. I mean I would have liked to get all the totem skins and portals. ALL of them. But that shit is $30-%60 EACH usually. So no thanks. I'll just buy something on steam instead.

TLDR:
Lower the price of MTX's significant, give players more incentive to spend more money.

Too late for this, the current whales/sheeps that buy anything for whatever price Tggg throws would make a tantrum because their pixxels got cheaper.

For future microtransactions, sure could be viable but highly unlikely.. when the goblin king tastes the gold once it's impossible to go back.

100% my point..

where is the "like" "+1" button for this post :)

Honestly it is fine the way it is.
I much prefer limiting eye cancer level of mtx to whales only otherwise public spaces we are thrown into upon login would be unbearable.

It would be different thing entirely if mtx were all kept lore friendly, but as it stands right now more prohibitive the cost is, the better.

i just read that post i made and i havent explained it well at all.

this ties in with making low end basic mtx, the more pricey fancy stuff would remain how it is, i know my customer range has slight exaggeration but il try explain what i mean better..
