A consumable snowcone costs 5$

[Vstarstruck]

It's entirely possible their vendor doesnt allow purchases lower than $5.

I think it's dumb to charge that much personally, they should have bundled it for like 5 or 10 of them or something.....

I wouldn't ever buy consumables (other than fantasias ) off the mogstation anyway.

Is there anything for less than $5 on the mogstation right now? I'm not able to check.

lol okay, you will say anything to try defend SE don't you?

They were just musing over possible reasons, also stated they think it's dumb.

I personally do not like having a cash shop in a sub game, but alas it's here to stay. Since it is, why shouldn't SE charge insane prices if people are willing to pay? I mean, sure, not trying to squeeze your customers for every last dime would be admirable, but they've proven time and time again they're not too concerned about that.

Pointless to argue with him, if you don't bash SE you are defending them

Same can be said to you, "pointless to argue with them if you are not defending SE."

Na, I still stand what I said, because it can be easily seen things are less then 5 dollars. The only reason they posted that to try make it sound less of an issue then it really is, a constant theme of them. for "why shouldn't SE charge insane prices if people are willing to pay?" because there is a such thing called "anti customer practices" and that is what causes governments to get involved, because companies can't self regulate. I wonder how much longer the gaming industry's free passes of government regulation will hold when they keep pushing stuff like this.

Because sometime in the future, acting in this manner now is shooting themselves in the foot. Sure it makes nice short term profits, but what are the long term repercussions? Even at a self interest level, the long term repercussions can mean losing your core, older fanbase. That is why they shouldn't be doing it.

I highly doubt the government is going to be concerned over how a gaming company handles their cash shop. That's just an absurd stretch.

The cash shop is not going to appeal to everyone. But as it is, SE is still charging high prices, so they obviously seem to be content with the amount of revenue that they are pulling in from it. I imagine they would start lowering prices/have more sales if they saw things start to dip.

As for repercussions, time will tell. I personally would have a hard time playing another MMO by SE (not only because of cash shop), but the game is still hugely popular and doing well as a whole.

Indeed, the real issue is not $E selling things (in general) for stupid price but people wilingly buying them.

And apparently you will find any reason to attack me. I was in bed browsing at the time, before sleep.

You really have an obsession with me.

Also, I think the pricing is stupid and wouldn't buy them. Get over yourself.

[Vstarstruck]

beign called a white knight ina thread where I'm speechless for how asinine the pricing of a cash shop item is.....wow....

Why did you feel the need to insult me for then? What I said to you is the only thing I can think of for a reason why.

I did not attack you, you keep attacking anyone with a criticism over this game though. (while trying to defend the game in any way you can, making excuses for them) You get over yourself, with your excuses for your actions and SEs. The only reason to say something like "It's entirely possible their vendor doesn't allow purchases lower than $5." because you want to defend them.

We been in arguments over the mog shop before, everyone knows dyes and such are cheaper then that.

They probably do have an obsession with you. He white knights anyone with common sense.

You keep trolling various threads with the same argument and apparently claim to leave the game for good a few times now. Apparently being over dramatic and lacking common sense of optional content escapes reality and there for you white knights anyone yet fail to prove people wrong with one simple fact. ITS CALLED OPTIONAL CONTENT NOT MANDATORY.

Maybe the obsession is true love?
