    This is extremely offensive to any and all 3D model creators and game devs. You're basically saying any work a dev puts into an outfit is not justified to cost anything but less than minimum wage... that's extremely rude...

    I don't see why twist her words. It's pretty obvious that the statue has more details than the dress, and a statue actually costs to be produced in mass scale, while a virtual item such as the dress does not.
    You can dislike the work of someone and think that it's not worth the price. People do it every time.
    That doesn't mean you think that people shouldn't be paid (most of these artists are probably already paid, I doubt that a huge company like SE would comission an artist just for this dress or give % of each sale for the team that made it, very unlikely).

    Is it so absurd to actually find that a dress that it's gender-locked, not account-wide and is more expensive than the subscription of the game itself not cool? Honestly? If you think that, you are a monster that think that people shouldn't be paid? LOL.

    It costs 18 dollars because it costs 18 dollars. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Someone worked on the dress model itself, and made it to fit all 6 races in the game. If you feel that their work is worth $3, please feel free to pay $3 and hope someone will lend you the $15 or something, because how you look at it is uncalled for because you're basically saying "Oh yeah, your work is only this much", if the devs see value in their work, then they will price it with the value they perceive.

    "I don't see why twist her words." Well she said it, I didn't twist anything...

    Also, let me answer it the way you would... Is it so absurd to actually pay a price that a dev set because they see value in the hard work they put into it, not only that but also offered it exclusively to an entirely different country? Honestly? If you think that, you are a monster that think that people shouldn't be paid for what they think their work is worth? LOL.

    It goes both ways, so don't even try to pull the victim card.

    And you are okay with being ripped off by one outfit when other outfits aren't as costly? My my aren't you dense.

    Namecalling on the OF, classic. It's not being ripped off, it's paying a price set by an individual, you deal with it and you live with the consequences of paying such prices.

    But you are saying that the people that don't agree with the price do not value the work of other people. That's extremely rude.

    Also, these artists likely have a salary way higher than 3 dollars. It's not like they aren't getting paid for it at all.

    Yeah, because if I don't agree with the price of a thing at all, I don't value the work of people. Good lord. LOL The world that some people live in is amazing. It's either black or white. You could use that money you spend valuing other people's work buying some common sense, y'know.

    You do you, and I'll do me, and let's see how good the "I want it at this price, wah!" mentality works for you.
