I wouldn't be suprised if them releasing the cash shop only dyes wasn't due to hillariously sluggish sales after the initial hype-train and whales spending all they own on them the metalic dyes were not very common. now they are atainable in-game, if they were selling them hand-over fist I doubt this would be the case.


Just because SE doesn't come out and say "Jeese guys sorry we were bleeding your wallets" doesn't mean the people who aren't purchasing this content don't have an effect. the "Majority" may not be as much of a "Majority" as you think it is. I mean how many Slepnir mounts are there actually compared to the size of the playerbase? Not really alot I would imagine, also these purchased items have had consumer blowback as well with mounts like Slepnir being called out for not flying, or having special emotes requiring them to go back and put work into them to justify the purchase to the consumer.

It doesn't take alot of people to shell out to make the reskins profitable for SE, but there are farther reaching implications to these things in the long run and consumer apathy doesn't just happen overnight it builds and it can snowball before they realize it. The issues continue to mount and there will be a boiling point if they don't get their ducks in a row.

-Inventory issues
-Glamor restrictions due to cash shop
-Server instabillity
-Delayed patches

Now before anyone jumps on me I'm not on the developers about this I know the pool fools have no choice usually but their marketing arm needs to back down they are siphoning too much consumer good-will especially for a company that is just coming out of a spat of shaky reputation with their game releases.
