Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

[Divinemights]

SE will get enough money making extra items like this with the extra sales.. it is digital, they do not have overstock or shortages, come on now.

Please chock it before it becomes a reality.
I post against it on Monday before they officially release Nerzhua today.
It is way better off than over-exaggerating after fact complains.
Please do launch your classic thread to prevent Angelwings on mogstation, you still have few days to post
You will have my 100% support.
Yes, that is right, I do not want to see another regional exclusive items to be port to NA and EU.
They should stay at Korea and China.

Idiots will buy anything, even if they price smaller items at $100 or more. It ruins things for everyone else because SE keeps going further and further to see how much they can squeeze out of whales, to the point where any normal person can't afford it anymore.
So yeah, just add it to the stuff reasonable people can't have anymore due to idiots and greed.

Why can't reasonable people have this stuff?

Uuum 'reasonable people' can have it too if they choose to.
If they do choose to buy it, that doesn't make them an idiot. =_=

If you're willing to wait for the prices to drop that's fine, well, and good, but don't belittle others because they decided to get it before you do.

Sadly, that was the first item to have the price tag. It was also the first item to have this exp bonus that most people aren't going to use.

I did still say they could make the gear account wide. I'd be buying these if I could have them on more than 1 character.

Oh, I would love for them to be account wide. I just cannot see them doing it since it's clearly selling.

Because some people have more disposable income than you and choose to spend it on luxury things they enjoy, that somehow makes them unreasonable and stupid? Criticism is one thing, but now we're stepping over the line. It also seems as though you are making the incorrect assumption these items would all be in the game for free if "idiots stopped buying things!" If no one bought these Micro-transaction, they just wouldn't make the items to begin with.

It's called budgeting, and waiting for a sale. Those items aren't going anywhere anytime soon, they aren't a limited time offer. It would be ideal if items were added in game(hell, even throw out a mini-event that lasts a weekend), but SE is a business, and will do what a business does best - make money.

Which cash shop item costs $100? Most expensive item on there is a 5-pack of Fantasia ($45 USD).

None of these prices are anything new. People act like $18 USD for an exclusive outfit or $24 USD for an account-wide mount is some new kind of inflation on SE's part, but those prices have been a thing since the Far Eastern outfits (September 2016) and Slepnir (Fall 2014).

People seem to forget these items (Chinese and Korean exclusives) were not free in their respective countries. To ask for them for free is probably one of the many definitions of entitlement. I won't argue that the prices couldn't stand to maybe be a little lower, but gross exaggerations of how "any normal person" can't afford them are, well, exaggerations; and exaggerations will not help your argument (among other things, such as calling people "idiots" or "whales").

If you cannot afford an $18 USD item for a one-time purchase, how are you affording a recurring monthly subscription, which isn't that far off for even the cheapest price ($13 USD for Entry)?

They could make literarly a 1000 €/$ mount that is super awesome, couldnt care less about cosmetics.

[CainCrimson]

I'm not sure why a bundle of optional items should cost more than a finished, retail AAA game.

I've been against this practice for years. I dont agree with it and try my best not to support it, whatever the game may be.

[Tiraelina]

I'm never going to buy anything they add to that store, even if I did want it. I would rather give DE money in Warframe, at least they aren't trying to staddle the fence even if their game is as hilariously buggy as it is.

Call me surprised. A grand total of 1.8% of the total items in the game. You are so right.......the Mog Station is OVERWHELMING! How can anyone EVER play the game without touching the MOG Station, 1.8% is CLEARLY an integral part of the game!!!!

If you want to sight WoW, be sure to qualify that WoW doesn't cash-shop many of it's items as it RMT's it's in-game currency. Which is it's number 1 cash generator.

Mog Station doesn't have that.

Say again?

Maybe you end up with 1.8% if you ignore that most of the things added each patch are recolors between jobs. It's easily closer to 10% or more.

The WoW token is inconsequential to this, it's not causing things to be locked behind even more money than the sub. I would rather have something like it than the disproportionate amount of items in SE's store in a P2P.

Honestly, is it anyone's business to tell others how to spend their own money on their own entertainment? The pricing for mounts and outfits hasn't really changed since the first inception of outfits and mounts becoming a thing on the Mogstation, I believe.

It's not really worth worrying over about what other people do with their money and giving yourself an ulcer, it's none of other people's business frankly.

That doesn't work when runaway habits effect everyone else playing the game because the bean counters now want to cater to those habits. Numerous threads begging for more things to be added to the mog station instead of in-game where most of it should be. Constant downplaying of how bad it actually is.

You are delusional if you believed regional exclusive items developed by S/E's third party contractor should be free.
It is question of how you get it.
Bound to stupid promotion with Amazon or simply put on mogstation.
I prefers later since mogstation do have promotion sale.
Last time when Eastern Togi bound to Amazon, i bought Witcher 3 that I still haven't unseal the cover

What is free in a game that you can't play without paying its subscription? Tell me.
