Why are extra characters still $3?

[Agoven]

I know people who paid a good $2000 in a free to play just to get 1 vanity item. So all those complaining for a subscription based game to charge you a whole $3 dollar a month. I laugh and giggle...and those that think free to play games cause they don't charge and you can make x, y, z characters...you pay substantially more for a free to play if you really want to play and the community is generally atrocious.

I'm just glad they didn't go with a free to play model, with people who pay the most, are the best.

The price is more than acceptable, £6.30 (googles conversion rate today (im british)) a month for 1 character is all I need, thats £1.50 a week. If you can't afford that, you shouldn't be wasting your time playing games, you should probably be out looking for work.

$3.00 WHOA! Don't break the bank now!

Come on, even 15$! Those are prices you can pay with your freaking lunch money. I Can't believe that in a month you will not gain at least 15$ to pay the game.
And yes, I will not pay an overpriced coke for 3$ when I can buy one at like 1$, but if you're in a restaurant you can't do anything else, so you're stick with the 3$ or you don't take it.

the 3$ per extra character has got to go. It is silly and they are wasting their good will. SE cannot afford mistakes right now and this is a mistake.

Offering overpriced vanity service is hardly a mistake.

I wish that Square would have listed the price that the subscription is Actually going to cost players. Even if you buy the 180 day subscription fee you have to pay $3 per character per month. Not extra character, for your main. So you are paying $8 instead of $5.

I guess the business practice of listing the lowest price so people will think "oh what a good deal!" Is even used by square.

The issue I believe is that se is charging for both vanity(extra character) and storage (two retainers).
$1 character
$1 retainer #1
$1 retainer #2
which makes sense BUT I feel this is a big mistake. All three of those should go for 1 dollar together and instead of having one person buying a 3 dollar package you would have 3 people buying a 1 dollar package with the added bonus of a happy community. SE could really use a happy community spreading good word right now. The service fee discount was a step in the right direction, this would be a second.

I have 2 characters on the same account; 1 is battlecrafts, the other is DoL / Crafting and both are quite full with all the items I need>< haha. I wouldn't mind a cheaper price on character slot. That being said, I don't mind paying the $3, it's like... skip having a take-out lunch once a month which is hella easy!

Three bucks is three bucks. I make that in my sleep, its not even a matter of principle it's just an additional slot so won't bother me.
