This is just appalling

[joannaluttrell]

Not to be rude (and for the record I don't plan to buy these items/emote), but what do you expect people to do? not buy things they want/can afford just because you or I think it is priced to highly?

I choose to not buy it because I think it's priced to highly. If others agree, they should do the same.

...Is it only appalling because its something people actually want?

The prices are absurd regardless of one's opinion on the aesthetic of the outfit.

And that is fair. I should have quoted in my original post but I will do it here...

I'm sure this will be met with the usual "SE is a business!!! what do you expect!!", "they're always going to do this so get over it" etc. etc., and you're perfectly right, SE is a business! As such, they respond to sales - and ploys that lead to poor sales don't get repeated. This doesn't cross the mind of the Balmung or the Idyllshire crowds, however, who'd buy the glamour sets if they cost £20 just to have the newest items to stand around and AFK in. And because of this, we're now at the point where we're being charged higher prices for half an outfit and a re-vamped existing emote. Congratulations, you've surely shown us grouchers!

Attacking people for spending their money on things they want is never a good look.

yes. if people stop buying this stuff SE with get the message. But that won't happen because so many people are easy to nickle and dime and they are too stupid to see it happening

The message you hope they get may not be the one they receive. Sure, best case scenario, they lower prices. Worst case (depending on which side of the spectrum you're at) is they pull the plug entirely on any future glams because they'll feel its not worth it and fall back on fantasia + everything else revenue.
