So do they take 41 people to pay it off or 500
I think they know what they are doing for optional items.

They is only a small group of whales. And SE knows this and they milk them.

lets say there is 300k active players, VS the numbers SE gives.
If 1% are whales that's 72k that they will make.
VS
if 10% got it at $2 they only make 60k
We aren't saying make the mount $2. Note as well the mount is account wide, so it'd be expected to be higher in price.

The OUTFIT on the other hand costs only $6 less, and is for 1 character. That's where people are getting iffy. What people are saying is either make the price lower, since honestly an outfit for 1 character shouldn't cost more than 1 month of sub, or make it account wide, so all the characters get to see it.

Easily, they could have had two versions. $9 for a single character, $18 for account wide, and the sales would arguably be higher. Anyone who had an alt would be more likely to buy the $18 one where they might not have in the first place at single character limits.
