$25 for a toon transfer?

[Alhanelem]

In present days, the people that have time and money to subscribe in MMORPG are the people do not worry about money. Probably spend a lot on iphone, ipod and many other luxury stuffs. You are here, whinning about an optional services that set at a price of $25?

I don't have any iDevices or even a smartphone. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination and in fact only have a part time job. For me, subscribing to an MMO is in lieu of buying more non-MMO games. The price of a world transfer to me is inconsequential because I don't need to use it and will never use it.

So just saying, playing a subscription (or even playing a free one) MMO doesn't necessarily make statements about the player's income.

You pay for the service you need nevertheless. It is an optional service and its charge is set at $25, in which is the same for all gaming companies. Again, why are you compalining? Taxi is an optional service I choose to have when there is subway. Are you saying that I can just tell taxi driver that he charges too much for a ride?

Where does it say that o-o?

Should charge $1,000 when someone refers to it as a toon transfer!

[FAVisceglia]

We could argue if the fee is about RMT-prevention or good ol' fashion greed, or we could just accept the basic reality of economics and markets: SE is offering an optional service which requires resources and labor hours, and, accordingly, they are charging a fee for it.

o.o Didnt think they would get popular. Thought I would get flammed (Which I have. BTW, they are pretty funny) and this thread would be lost forever.

I think it's a fair price.

You can not transfer toons over to FFXIV.




xD lol

I knew before clicking the thread that a solid portion of replies would be people upset over toon because "mommy called my action figure a doll".

It is not the word "toon" itself, it is the fact that "toon" is a WoW-Term and sorry to burst your bubble, but this is not WoW. And indeed... an action figure is not a doll and a Car is not a Truck and Yellow is not Green.

To stay on topic: My world transfer seemed automated. So it's 25$ for an automated system to run. Also, I don't think ripping people off is justified because other companies do it as well. I see a lot of people condoning things just because other companies do it.

Why isn't it justified? Just because something is "ripping you off" doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.

People really do look for anything possible to complain about on these forums.
