I mean... really?

Yes, price gouging is always a legitimate complaint. Especially when you aren't given a heads up.

price gouging ?!

PRICE GOUGING ?!

get your hand off it dude.

we arent talking about bread and milk here, these are cosmetic items you dont need

The price of stash tabs were increased without notice.

That does have functionality to some extent.

OK, assume that one day we are gonna have items affect gameplay, (like right now there's stash tab) then rethink this.

IS the $5 & $10 reasonable, or not?

but anyway.

You guys should focus more on how $5 and $10 can just throw away because nobody/very very less
will actually buy it.

Those rich fucks who can spend more than 20+?
or us poor fucks that wouldn't spend on any because it's unreasonable.

Shame on those who claimed they are supporting GGG by just bashing at us poor fucks.

I'm not sure what "poor" has to do with it. I'm pretty poor. How about instead of a few days of going to lunch at taco bell, one can take that money and save it for some micro transactions they want.

GGG's prices are very reasonable compared to the rest of the market. I mean, games like Atlantica Online, you have to pay like 20 bucks every month to get an experience booster just to stay on par with everyone else.

GGG has nothing like that. All the items and utilities are optional.

I don't mean to demean the position that I'm "not seeing"; I just... well, I don't see it.

yes. yesterday the stash tab pack was $15. today it's $20. maybe price gouging isn't the correct term semantically, but, they did increase the price of the stash tab pack.

thats a poor assumption to make.

GGG have stated since day one that microtransactions that can be obtained via real money will never have an effect on a persons ability to play the game.

if you think only having 4 stash tabs is somehow crippling the game for you then i'm sorry. perhaps you can create a few more of the 24 characters your'e allowed to make on each (free) account and use them as mules.

This thread isn't about the prices, it's about the nasty scam-like number of points you get at the 5 and 10 dollar levels that are purposefully designed to leave you just a few points shy of what you want or with a huge amount of useless points left over. But you knew that, you just chose to ignore it.

As for Atlantica Online, it's 15, not 20 for the blessing license, and if you're going to complain about something in that game, complain about Atlas ore. Atlantica sells points are round levels that allow you to buy exactly what you pay for. That blessing license that you're complaining about costs 15 and you pay 15. Here you end up paying 10 dollars for something that costs 5.10 in points. See the difference? Do you honestly not see the difference?

well see it this way.
before open beta. The normal price of points is $1:10 pts .
And right now,
the $5 & $10 is lower than that ratio.

So, what's the problem? we can always buy $20 and above right?
yeah, but that leads to 2 major problem.
#1
$5 & $10 is worthless & useless except being a bait/tricks to make you buying $20+ packages.
#2
The potential customer which will spend the $5 & $10 packages is now gone.
