Cash Shop Overpriced?

[Parz3val]

Doesn't a lot of it seem... about 150-200% the price it should be? Reasonably.

It's not really reasonable when the pumpkin heads and ghost costumes were available in game. The pumpkin heads were available for gil. That's why I put up a petition for them to be put back in the game. 5$ for something that was once free : /

You shouldn't even be questioning it, of course it's over priced.
There's no logical reason a mount should cost more than a sub to the actual game itself.

I hate how everyone seems to have the mentality "oh other games have the same prices so they must be fine", stop kidding yourself and wake up

What? Besides the mount, everything is reasonable. Especially in comparison to other games that have a cash shop with similar items.

The mount is pretty much the same as every other game I've played that sold a mount. The rest of it however is far far cheaper.

S-E sell me a god dammit katana already, geez, my favorite weapon should already be in game. But yes, items are overpriced, the mount should come with 60 days of subscription attached to it.

I expected Sleipnir to be cheaper, but since it's account-wide it makes sense.

You can't really say that it's "overpriced". It's a luxury vanity item.
Giving a set value to an item like that is impossible, since it cost virtually next to nothing to produce. The only value it will have will be set by it's base price.
It's also what makes said item rare or not.

So, expensive? Sure. Overpriced? Nope.

The minions were cheaper than I thought they would be.

Other games mount have different speeds and usually sell permanent versions of high speed ones for that price (or even more, I've played a game that sold them for nearly 50$). In this game they aren't affected by different speed though :/
