Is our sub fee not enought

Personally, I am of the opinion that the Cash shop is here to stay (unfortunately), but there is one thing that *must* change.

The cost of things like mounts, outfits and emotes is too high - especially where these things are limited to a single character. I mean hells bells, paying two months full sub for an outfit, and only one of my characters can wear it? Dammit SE I pay a full sub to have more characters, Stop cheaping out and let these things be account wide - we already pay more for more characters.

At very least switch to two tier pricing with the current full price being the price for account wide and a price 40-50% lower being the single character price. I'd imagine that this would actually increase your business because people turned off by paying so much for single character things, would be more likely to buy with the increased value of making them account wide; and people turned off by the cost completely would have a less expensive option for a single character.

Sounds like a win-win.

It's $7 for an emote that in the past would have been added as a quest reward, and it's not even account-wide. Think about dollar value here, for crying out loud... $7 in the free-to-play game I play takes me a LOT further, and that game didn't start putting basic emotes in the cash shop. PLUS everything is account-wide there.

Also, this is not a free-to-play game; we already are required to pay a monthly sub to access it.

Indeed. I mean as I said above, the cash shop is here to stay, I think that is inevitable. However the gouging us by charging so highly for an emote - on a single character is just bad. I think it's bad business as I suggested above. I mean if I pay full sub I can have multiple characters on a server, up to 40 characters in total, imagine if I wanted that emote across them all, $280. Not gonna happen. For that matter, why would I spend half a month's sub (for all 40 characters) on an emote I can use on only 1 character?

Holy crap for that matter two emotes together cost as much as ARR does when on sale, where's the value again? The prices are just too damn high - especially for single character things.

They could accomplish this by going the Blizzard route and having minions, mounts, appearances, and cheevos account wide.

I'd find the Mogstation much more acceptable if all non-consumable items were account wide. $7 for an emote is far more reasonable across my account, but on one character it's just ridiculous. And I'm saying that while Kos has the Chinese dress. That product should absolutely have been account wide. The summer promotional items were all account wide and they were free, this one outfit (Chinese Dress) was both expensive and limited to a single character. It almost makes me wish I hadn't bought the thing.
