The obvious micro transaction cash grab?
|
I have to agree that I don't like the way they handled the $5 and $10 packs. I'm generally more likely to buy the higher packs anyway, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

Lol as I posted before
Ive played a f2p game where u pretty much had to spend 300 bucks to equal up to other peoples damage (not counting the 5grand of gear u needed) Keep crying about micro trans that dont effect the outcome of the game, please keep crying, its making my day My Kiwi's name is Fluffy.
It eats souls and small children. Don't fuck with Fluffy. |

" Am I wrong? Can I buy the 150 point Stash bundle without spending $20? Because last time I checked if I spend $15 I will only have 142 points. |

" Actually, I didn't feel a need to buy a pack in the closed beta and was going to wait until I saw the new items in the shop before I made a purchase. Upon discovering that they changed the point value of the packs, I was shocked. I wanted to buy some stash tabs, likely the 6 tab bundle for $15, but then I saw that you must purchase at least $20 worth of points for the $15 dollar bundle because of the point value of the packs. |

" Me too! When I buy points I'll be buying the big packs for sure - I'm only point out I think they'll make more sales by repricing. I'm no economist though, so I could be wrong. Regardless, the Item Shop is awesome - Like it alot especially for day 1! "There is friend who sticks closer than a brother"

" No one is denying that there is a reason for it (and that reason is obviously to increase their bottom line). The problem is that you can't tote yourself as delivering a f2p game with "ethical microtransactions," then engage in the unfair practice of, first, using a currency system over straight cash and, second, adding a sort of penalty for making the minimum payment for that currency. In other words, no one would be bitching if the currency went $5 | 50 $10 | 110 $20 | 225 or something similar. Instead, the currency goes $5 | 46 $10 | 96 $20 | 200 despite the fact that everything in the shop costs a multiple of 5 points. It's setup to intentionally leave you with leftover funds unless you make purchases of more than $10. Last edited by KalROFL#6606 on Jan 23, 2013, 3:22:57 PM

well remember the stuff is expensive because it is not tied to your characters like in other games.
at any time free of charge you can move your cosmetic stuff to other characters where as in other games you would have to buy the same shit for every individual character. yes alot are expensive but there seems to be a few in every category that are cheaper than the rest some even going for 1 - 5 dollars which is very cheap. the 50 dollar flame lizard is a rippoff though , good thing the 5 dollar frogs look nice .
