OK, assume that one day we are gonna have items affect gameplay

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.

I think you guys just got it all wrong.

#1 Do we have no $20 + to spend with?
Of course not, we can always spend 20 and above, but it means that the $5 and $10 package is totally not worth it. So why even have it at the first place?
It just seems like an obvious business trick which irritate the rest of us.

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.
I want to plan how i spend my money, if you are not helping, just shut up.
And i certainly don't need your help to help me spend MORE money.

And, you are just gonna ignore the request and feedback from people just because you rich little fuckers are paying more than us?

I believe if the package is reasonable, people who bought the $5 and $10 package adding up will be more spent than the rests.

#2 Cosmetic item or not, does it matters?
This depends to different people.
But i don't believe that's our main topic here.
The main topic is about The $5 and $10 package is bad.


-------------------------------

I hope you people could be honest to yourself.
Stop mentioning
1)how good is the game
2)how rich you are
3)how the cash items meant nothing to you
4)they have to make money

And instead stick with the one and true main subject we are discussing right here.

1) Is the $5 & $10 package not worth it?

Reminder : Any facts that's not related to this (such as the 4 facts above) doesn't automatically make the problem disappear.

--------------------------------

Guys,
we all have faith in GGG, that's why we are putting up the problem here right now.
And let them know how we think it's unreasonable.

*And those who think it's reasonable will most likely just buy the $20 + packages. which once again proved the $5 and $10 is unreasonable to have.

And it's also funny how you guys keep mentioning how it's a business but doesnt treat it as one.
Every Dollar matters.

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

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.

I'm not going to reply to each one of you idiots, I think I'm just getting trolled at this point.

-these things are optional
-you can get stuff with every pack, including the $5 one
-you are just bitching about the specific items you can get
-nobody is forcing you to buy anything
-if you really just wanted to support the game you wouldn't be this worked up about the specific items you can get
-the entire game is free and being poor or on a budget is completely irrelevant

Bandwidth is expensive. Chris and the team didn't take a paycheck from this game for YEARS. If there is an issue with the micro transaction prices, trust me, it's not out of greed or a "cash grab".

Maybe they realized they weren't going to be able to make budget on the bandwidth they've experienced today.

And I'd like to reiterate that the micro transactions are optional. You don't need them to be successful at this game, let alone, play.

Add 46 and 96

that's what you get for $15. I will give you a hint: it's less than 150.

Stop being entitled guys. You already getting Full game for free. it's like saying. 'hey i really want to change my shoes to these %500 shoes because they look very pretty, but they should make them much cheaper' . YOU DO NOT NEED NICER SHOES IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PAIR OF SHOES. You WANT it. Need =/= want.
