Lol, people crack me up. Has anyone noticed none of the people complaining have any supporter avatars? Cheap bastards. GGG is by far the most ethical developer I have dealt with in my 20 plus years gaming. They deserve their 5 bucks for 46 points. Uninstall and play something else.

Sorta confused here... It's not like your paying for levels or maps..

All this stuff is purely cosmetic..


None of it gives advantage to the game.. So what's the issue here?

All your doing is supporting the company keep the lights on..

How can you, Grinding Gear Games, in good faith, attempt to squeeze your customers of every penny.

Now, for $10, you only get 96 points instead of 100. For $5, 46! So you will be only 4 points away from a 50 point or 100 point item, and you are then forced to purchase a minimum of $5 more for being just $.40 cents away?

It is hard to defend this cash grab completely designed for you to pay more while being so close. Yes, it is a free to play game and they need to make money, but that does not mean that GGG should be able to get away with their blatant scheme. I just hope this is a bug and they are going to fix it.

Edit: (Previous reply)
I don't have any problem with them just putting the points at 50 for $5 and 100 for $10. Why must they take away 4 points to simply force you into buying more? It is optional yes, but you don't have the option of buying the exact number of points for an item. I fail to understand why people would want to buy $5 more points when they shouldn't have to if they were just given the 4 more points.

The $5,10,20 package should be 50,100,200 points, and everything after that should be higher points per dollar package. That way you don't feel like you are losing anything for buying lower packages, you are just gaining points for buying higher. Divisible by 10 would be better as well.

$5 - 50
$10 - 100
$20 - 200
$50 - 520
$100 - 1070
$250 - 2850

I doubt they'll see much of a difference anyway, but at least the costumer only feels like they got something more for paying more, and didn't lose anything for paying less.

You want to reward customers for spending a lot, but you don't want to punish those who are only comfortable spending little.

Edit: removed some hostility

Hahaha this is rich. Complaining about cosmetic addons the first day they are released and from who? People that didnt give a penny to GGG. Def keeping my chat off for a few weeks to air out these stank trolls.
