Why does an ingame poster cost $10?

[Arthrun]

I bet its the the hole marketing trick here you get 1 for 10 dollars but if you pay just 20 dollars you get all 4.

20 dollars still a bit high even for 4 of them though.

Lets take the mog station questions a bit further. Why are there single-character items when they obviously have the ability to make everything account-wide. Is just because you can do everything on one character seriously a valid excuse? Some people like to play on separate data centers, since SE feels its neccessary for each region to have around 2 each.

Lets go even further. Why do I have to pay for separate male/female versions of the same item when the calamity dude used to swap outfits between genders in game?

Most people have hit the nail on the head: Money.

Furthermore, they could take all the transaction history of each account and just make all items we already bought account wide.

Is there a poster for sale that hasn't been supplied at one point in the games history ingame for free?

Hey, look: a not-so-bad question from Lacan.

Honestly, I generally don’t care about the prices of things in the Mogstation—I buy things I want and other things I don’t. I’ve been understanding of account-wide mounts being $24.99~$29.99 since they are always available for all current and future characters on a service account. The Chinese and Korean outfits apparently cost more for their original market than what we pay, and I never expect to get items for free that other audiences have to pay for.

But I do think that the asking price for the new expansion artwork is a bit much. It seems like a “deal” to get all 4 for $20 USD ($5 USD each)—but individually at $10 USD each is a bit too much to ask. Which really sucks, because I like the Shadowbringers poster a lot, and it’s really the only one I want. I’m not paying $10 USD for it though—I can buy lunch 2 days a week for that on campus, and I like my lunch more.

If you look closely at the image though, these aren't actually posters, these furnishings are actually depicted as paintings in frames, so they're more 'fancier' (they also have different names to the 'regular' posters available earlier in the year during the Rising event). So I guess the frames mean they warrant a higher price. *Shrugs* Capitalism is a harsh mistress I guess...

[Fhaerron]

Because they are optional and well ... you really need those ugly posters?

I won't be buying them.
Then again I wouldn't even buy them if it was 0.1.
Would only use it if it was free.
