Ya'll.. Snow is pricey

[Jojoya]

It snows in The Mists.. and near about every housing district-- it is a weather effect they add at this time of year.. it makes less sense for every house to 'not' have snow on the ground.

Guess you've never lived in an area where snow can melt as it falls and definitely melts once it hits the ground. Being used to that (snow here only lasts on the ground more than an hour maybe once every 10-15 years), I don't find it immersion breaking at all.

But I value them and $3.50 for a pile of snow isn't a terrible amount.. it's if you want 3 of them to have some coverage

So then you admit the price isn't actually bad. You feel it is worth it to enhance the rather specific way you want to experience the game. If you want 3, it makes sense you're going to have to pay 3 times as much. That's still only $10.50 and you'll have them to enjoy as long as you play the game in the future.

What other $10 (or less) purchases have you made lately that give you equivalent lasting value?

Lower the price to negate buyer's remorse.. Lower the price because it's a silly, nearly contrived amount.. lower the price so many more might consider enjoying the items as well..

Buyer's remorse comes from buying a product that turns out inferior to/other than what was expected, and it generally could have been avoided by doing proper research first instead of impulse buying. Are the snow piles themselves disappointing you in some way?

Every price in life is a silly, contrived amount because currency is just a convenience tool and has value that's only accepted through common agreement. People are always arguing that such and such item is not worth the price and it should cost less. Maybe we should just do away with currencies and go back to the days where we traded goods and services directly instead of pushing around digital bits of metal and scraps of paper (considering physical currency itself is slowing phasing out in favor of debit/credit cards and other digital forms of payment).

Lowering the price won't get that many more to buy in the long run because the lower price stops being a "special value" so consumers lose interest. A few major retailers tried that strategy in recent decades just to have to end up declaring bankruptcy because their overall sales ended up decreasing, not increasing. The retailer might get a sharp short term spike in sales but then end up losing out over the long term.
