The obvious micro transaction cash grab?

Haha funny reading all it but, on topic for now.
I can see why people find it weird that they come a bit short and they need to buy another package just for that little bit but how about u buy a pack now SAVE it and buy another pack later? Is saving up really THAT bad nowadays?

That is a choice that should be left to he consumer. It's not something that the seller decides for its customer, which is the case here.

Ill admit I dont know what Im talking about in advance, but, wouldnt it be better if they just put an actual dollar amount on items rather than have coins or whatever? No one would complain about how many coins you get for x amount of dollars and GGG still gets money. Unless theres some kind of transaction fee they have to pay that would make them lose money that way?

It would be better maybe to put in a system where you put in an certain amount of money and it automaticly compensates that too coins. But it's day one of Open Beta, GGG is still finding what works best for all of us give them a little break and i'm sure they'll improve. Just hold with buying coins if you don't like it now, i can see why everybody wants some right now cause it's new but yeah you gotta hold for now if you don't like it.

dude, i like you. you are the only one giving out sane reply as the opposite side.

anyway, yeah, i believe i will hold back until there's a need to get as much as $20.
And of course i have faith in GGG.

don't worry about me, i still have 250 and my kiwi with me. that would be enough for now.

But it is a real pity if they lost the potential customers just because the $5 and $10 seems unfair.

better off, if you buy the package (which is like $10, 20, 50, so on) you can get full points.(or extra points.)

But if you wanted to get the exact amount. (270 points for example)
you will have to pay some extra transaction fee.

52 pages of rabble over 4 GGGCoins, amazing.

It's just how people see it i think. No need to be mad at GGG or anything on the way they price at day one of Open Beta. It's their first game their finding their roots, if they feel the need to change it, they will if not, then they don't. It's still and always will be their decision to do so. But i can see your point in here even the OP's point even though he implied it in a kinda bad way.

It's hard to argue over something that has 2 sides to it :x

Clearly if you would've taken the time to read it's not about that.

some of the price there are on sale. i wonder how much really they are selling them? fro me its really expensive. but its cool that its expensive. it gives more value to what you buy because few people will have it.

but it will not spend any money here . price will surely go down. ones more itemization goes out. i want my scorpion spider!!!!!!!!

@HEISENBERGMAN:

I give u an example, so u understand that u r just a lame whiner:

EXAMPLE:
There is a company offering the game "TENNIS". Everythging is for free for the players: The courts, the rackets, the balls, no maintanence fees, nothing costs anything, they even offer colorful rackets, but now they need a little money to finance all that and offer some more colors to the already existing rackets and thats where YOU start complaining about HOW they price it, rofl!

LOL you fail at analogies. Let's use your analogy but make it fit to what GGG is doing:

For example, there is a club that offers anyone free use of their tennis facilities free of charge: The courts, the rackets, the balls, no maintenance fees, nothing costs anything, they even offer colorful rackets, but now they need a little money to finance all that. So, what they do is setup a "credit system" where you can purchase enhancements to your tennis experience: Want different colored balls? That will be 50 credits! Want rackets with rad designs? That will 100 credits! All you need is to purchase their credit packages!

Isn't that great? I always wanted to play tennis with a blue-colored ball! Let me buy this $5 credit package... but wait! The $5 credit package only gives me 46 credits... That means I'm only 4 credits short but I have to buy another 46 credits for another $5 just to play with a blue tennis ball...

Can't I just buy 4 credits? I just want to play with a blue tennis ball and I have no use for the other credits! Can't I do that?

NO.

/sadface

So either the consumer dishes out extra cash just to get that second package and have 42 extra credits that he doesn't want... or he just doesn't play with a blue tennis ball. If it's the former, the consumer loses. If it's the latter, GGG loses. Either way, someone loses. So why doesn't GGG just sell them in 50-point packages so everyone wins?? Even sell it for a slightly higher amount ffs - like $5.50 or even $6 - but just sell it in a round number such as 50-points instead of an inexplicably uneven figure such as 46.

HOW they are asking for the money is completely up to them and calling it a scam, unethical or underhanded or whatever is a joke. It's called business and they are keeping this necessary evil as far out of the game as possible, yet u complain about something that isn't even NECESSARY TO HAVE and just because YOU WANT IT SO BADLY THAT U ARE ANGRY ABOUT HOW THEY PRICE IT....that's called "whining".

It's evil, but it's not necessary. It's an indefensible and underhanded business practice.

Personally, I really don't want anything from the shop. I'm just arguing against it on principle.
