Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

[Tiraelina]

I'm never going to buy anything they add to that store, even if I did want it. I would rather give DE money in Warframe, at least they aren't trying to staddle the fence even if their game is as hilariously buggy as it is.

Call me surprised. A grand total of 1.8% of the total items in the game. You are so right.......the Mog Station is OVERWHELMING! How can anyone EVER play the game without touching the MOG Station, 1.8% is CLEARLY an integral part of the game!!!!

If you want to sight WoW, be sure to qualify that WoW doesn't cash-shop many of it's items as it RMT's it's in-game currency. Which is it's number 1 cash generator.

Mog Station doesn't have that.

Say again?

Maybe you end up with 1.8% if you ignore that most of the things added each patch are recolors between jobs. It's easily closer to 10% or more.

The WoW token is inconsequential to this, it's not causing things to be locked behind even more money than the sub. I would rather have something like it than the disproportionate amount of items in SE's store in a P2P.

Honestly, is it anyone's business to tell others how to spend their own money on their own entertainment? The pricing for mounts and outfits hasn't really changed since the first inception of outfits and mounts becoming a thing on the Mogstation, I believe.

It's not really worth worrying over about what other people do with their money and giving yourself an ulcer, it's none of other people's business frankly.

That doesn't work when runaway habits effect everyone else playing the game because the bean counters now want to cater to those habits. Numerous threads begging for more things to be added to the mog station instead of in-game where most of it should be. Constant downplaying of how bad it actually is.

You are delusional if you believed regional exclusive items developed by S/E's third party contractor should be free.
It is question of how you get it.
Bound to stupid promotion with Amazon or simply put on mogstation.
I prefers later since mogstation do have promotion sale.
Last time when Eastern Togi bound to Amazon, i bought Witcher 3 that I still haven't unseal the cover

What is free in a game that you can't play without paying its subscription? Tell me.

What is free in a game that you can't play without paying its subscription? Tell me.

Let's say you are S/E and I am the contractor who paid you to create an exclusive item for my region only.
I am going to to sue hell out of you if you release this item in other region without paying me back first.
You need to project the cost with number potential player will be attract by this exclusive item.
How big is China's potential gaming market?
We already got the answer from PUTG.

Yea, but is it really worth getting yourself all stressed out about something so trivial? You're basically getting yourself (and I'm not meaning you, just a general you) angry over what other people do with their disposable income. The question is, are you getting angry over the items in question because you want them yourself and just either can't afford them and other people can? Or, are you getting angry because you don't want anything at all and feel that because there's no value in it for you that they don't need to exist period for anyone?

I don't really 100% agree with the cash shop either, but I have spent money here and there sparingly over the course of 5 years on items. In total I've only bought 4 things: (Starseeker Bow (Missed the event), the Eastern Lady Togi, the Fuma Kimono, and the blue Carby mount). And that's whenever I had the extra funds to do so and that was my business alone, most of them were just little things to brighten my day if I had a bad day at work or just a crappy month in general.

You can't really put a price on other people's happiness and what they find that has meaning or value to them. And I guarantee if you were to walk up to someone and say "Hey! I see that you're going to spend $24 on that mount in the cash shop. Don't do it."....they're probably going to look at you sideways and question why your opinion has any weight on their own wallet.

I don't know, maybe I'm at that point in age where what I do with my wallet is my business and if someone tries to tell me otherwise, well....unless they're going to offer to pay my sub or utility bills for me, then they can have a foot in the door about what I do with the money.
