Every time I read someone say this statement, I have to say, it makes me laugh. Yeah you pay a sub. And? What a gold star? Subscription fees entitle you to current version updates and access to server, not future content segments. Want Heavensward without the 129.99 price tag, guess what? There's a $40 option with none of the extras. Want the in game extras? There's a $60 option for that too. Your sub has nothing to do with either of those.

Value is in the beholder. Some would place value on digital items quite easily, because having them gives them a sense of satisfaction, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news for you, but digital items most certainly can have value to them.

Yep, if you have a bank account, your money is digital. So I guess that doesnt have any worth to them lol.

don't like the price tag? Don't buy it. It will come down in 6 months and more in year. If the price is that offensive vote with your wallet.

If you think that is bad you should have seen diablo III reaper of souls now that was really a ripoff

I bought it was on sale for $20, took me 1.5 hours to beat the game and haven't touched it since. Pretty much assures I would never buy another game from them.

I hate to say this but you can go to a bank and withdraw whatever money you have in your account however with the ingame items you can't withdraw them and make them real so the whole bank account comparison goes down the hole there.

Btw I don't think $130 is a bad price for the physical items you get. The dragon statue is as even Yoshi-p said was a high quality statue and quite honestly it would be almost about the same if you bought items from the Disney Store. IE i bought my mother who loves Tinkerbell a glass statue for about $19 dollars at christmas time and it's not even two inches in height.

Maybe you can.
There are not many banks that would allow me to withdraw my entire account in cash, and even that cash is basically just paper.
Money is only worth anything because people are willing to do stuff for it..... same for digital collectors editions.

A £45 game these days lasts....7 hours?
A £29 expansion to FFXIV is going to last me a year and a half.

Bargin.
