Name 1 game which has a microtransaction system that lets you buy the perfect amount of "premium cash".

All of them, every1 of them are designed the same way. Just not with full numbers like 10/20/50 etc. The model is the same.


You're ignorant. Dota 2.
The same thing happens on xbox live/psn and gift cards in general so I don't know what all the fuss is about tbh.

All those complaining need to seriously get a life..lol

The games free to play. The game is fun as hell and yet you choose to spend your time crying about nothing.

Either show your support, pick a fee or shaaad up.

My god, people are insane.





You didn't even read what the problem is. People like you are the problem mate.

There's a reason I don't buy those things too. This logic works both ways, sadly.

This scam only works on stupid people. It's sad that they assumed their whole playerbase is stupid enough to buy into it. What's even more sad is that some people have bought into it.

I said in a previous post.

955 of the ppl who complain about prices wouldn't even purchase anything even if it's only for 1$.

just wait for it. Sooner or later they'll shwo the white of their teeth, and will demand more things for free.

Virtually every free to play game I've ever played. Atlantica Online, Dungeon Fighter Online, even freemium tablet games allow you to buy points in round numbers. This is the ONLY game I've EVER seen that has the gall to charge you 5 dollars and give you SLIGHTLY less than you need to buy what is basically a 5 dollar item. This is NOT standard operating procedure.


And all you people telling me that I dont have to buy it and just not to buy and stop whining are missing the point: I WANT to support the game. I had my credit card out. This pricing policy shut my wallet. You people aren't doing GGG any favors telling people not to spend their money. People who planned to be paying customers are walking away due to this. If you don;t understand why I seriously question your reading comprehension and basic math skills.

I clearly laid out my situation and you are ignorant enough to ignore it?

Yesterday it was $15 for stash tab pack. Today it's $20. In reality that's called price gouging. Learn to read.

I still have faith in GGG that they will fix this. I however don't have faith in this community anymore. Simply because gift cards/xbox live or everyone else does something doesn't make it automatically right. Every other f2p game also does pay2win, does that mean GGG should do the same? Of course not becasue it goes against the good faith that existed between the community and the developers for the past few years. I feel the same way about the point structure as well(it hurts the good faith that once existed).

And you think just because you don't, others won't either and the companies will collapse?
