The obvious micro transaction cash grab?

I'm super psyched you can remove item effects for free. You guys are so greedy. Complaining over 4 points? Just wait and get the 20 pack then. Sacrifice your instant gratification for once. If you can't come up with 20 bucks in a couple weeks you probably aren't old enough to be playing this game, or you shouldn't be buying digital items in the first place and be thankful you can enjoy the entire game for free, absent of gold buying and pay to win power level garbage as is customary with most similar models today.


Or we are responsible adults with budgets and families and things like that. Clearly you have none of these.


If 5-20 dollars is that much to you, you belong in the "shouldn't be buying digital items" category. If you have a big family and low paying job, you should probably be grateful you can enjoy the entirety of this game with no drawbacks for FREE, instead of being petty about the prices of optional cosmetic effects which support the responsible adults with budgets and families that made you this completely FREE game.


I'm poor so I shouldn't be playing vidya games, got it. I know this is going to sound crazy, but poor people have spare time and a small disposable income to entertain themselves as well. Maybe we can't wipe our asses with benjamins like you do, but we are part of the economy as well. Sorry to inconvenience you.

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.

Well what kind of excess are we talking about here? Because with POE's pricing scheme, you're left over with $4.50 for something that has a $5.50 value. That's an excess amount which is over 80% of what you needed to spend. Do other games force you into spending that much excess of what you want to buy?


Yes.

LOL, c'mon. I expected you to put up a fight, but I didn't expect you to flat out lie.

Dota 2 for starters does not have a pricing scheme as crazy as POE's.

And to those that keep mentioning "if you can't pay more, don't pay at all.".
If you can pay more, pay for me too, else just shut the hell up.


This. 100X this.

What business of yours is it what I do with my money?

Why are you actively trying to hurt GGG's sales by advocating people not spend money?


What the hell are you talking about? I don't care what you do with your money, I wasn't talking to you...
Also I'm not trying to stop people from spending money... are you retarded? This guy was saying he can't afford to spend 20 bucks on a game because he has a family and a budget... so yeah he probably shouldn't be buying digital items... should I be telling him to take the money out of his kid's college fund instead? Supporting GGG is great, they deserve it, but theres a line dude. I'm sure they wouldn't want people depriving their families to spend money on their cash shop... you are kind of a sicko dude
The people who are concerned about the $5 and $10 packs have a valid point. I'd suggest the hostility be toned down a bit please. Ultimately it looks like most of us want the same thing., which is to support this game.

And of course the trolls take everything out of context. It's not that he can't, it's that you have to think more about what you spend your money on to get the best value.

Heh, if you take a look at my post history I started out sane, then I encountered a while sikab and he used supersonic on me. I got confused.

FINALLY, a diamond supporter that does not come off as some out of touch mathematically deficient sociopath with tourettes. THANK YOU.

I WANT to support this game, but these prices will not see me open my wallet until they are changed. It's pretty sad and frankly I'm disappointed because I WANTED to spend on this game.
Saw this thread and did a double take. Is this an actual complaint, or just a very successful trolling?

I mean... really?
