Poll about new Darkness and Wild bundles

Have to say the reason that I will not buy these bundles is the combination of price and lack of interest about the items on the bundles.

I would pay if all items in the bundle would be something I want.

For this reason this kind of bundles are little meh. You actually don't save so much (or at all) when you have to buy items you don't want or will not use.

I would suggest that you make bundles like "buy 3 items and save 50%!" Or you could offer many items and player could choose from them.

I probably would have bought the Darkness Bundle but here's the deal. The pack costs 220 points, and you can only buy either 200 points or 516 points. I really don't feel like buying $50 worth of points only to use 220 of them. If it was 20 points cheaper, I'd probably buy it.

But I'm still considering if I'll buy it or not.

If you gave it that much thought already you want it. Just buy it :)

Not a fan of getting about 50% of stuff I want and 50% I could care less about for a marginally discounted price.

This is the reason I didn't buy them.

I'd buy the Darkness pack, but I don't want the Scorpion nor Cleave effect, so I'd rather wait for individual sale and save a few more points.

Already have 5 pets and don't know what to do with them, and I don't really ever use those skills.

As I love your game alot, There is still a big gap for me to actually buy something in-game that makes buy character look neater, as i find it irrelevant to the game. Maybe some point if i find something really interesting!. Try at some point making customizable bundles (X skill, X pet) = X points, i think it would attract more people!

pro tip, chris, put points on sale for 5-10% off. That way people will hoard points on sale and then spend them on microtransactions. it's the same concept as gift cards

It'd be nice if the poll was one that allowed you to pick multiple answers, as it is certainly possible for more than one to apply to you. For instance I did not know they existed, but also these particular bundles were not of interest to me (once i saw this thread and then read the details on them).

I did know that some bundles were going to exist, but hadn't realized they were already released.

On a slightly side note, I hope you guys are working on a way to show the Daily Deal to steam users like non-Steam users. If its not possible at all to do the same box thing on log in, perhaps some sort of "Greeting Message" when you log on? The hourly sales update on stash tab bundles was very intrusive and disliked by many, but I'd think a log on message would be fine, many games have them after all, and they don't always have to be about sales. Stuff like (patch X was released this morning, go to y url to see the changes) would be useful for the majority of players.

Bundle price is fine.

But if you run a sale on a bundle, you must run an equally discounted sale on all items within the bundle.

"This week! Discount on all "Darkness" themed items! Buy the entire bundle and save extra points!"

suggestion for the next poll:

why should i spend money on ggg:

- because i want to support a independend gaming company which created a magnificent free and noPay2Win game?

- because i like to show how much money i have to spare

- because i easily fall for sales events

- because i like to have a fancy forum tag which increases the value of my posts

- because i'm a hoarder and i'm too lazy to create multiple chars


let's face it: people will only buy items which are on sale. i do.

in the real economy, sales are a means to draw customers to buy things from your store instead from your competitor.
but there is no other competitor on pathofexile.com, people will not stop spending money on d3 to buy the sales offer in poe.

so sales in poe not only cut your income by an average of 30% but also contradict your previous philosophy of: support us and have some method to show it to your friends.

nowadays, if i see people with effects ingame i don't think: "hey, the guy donated money to my favorite game!", it's more like: "okay, the verdant weapon effect was probably on sale today, so everybody had to buy it".

I wish there was an option for "You deserve my money but I'm too poor to give any :P"
