Why does an ingame poster cost $10?

[Lacan]

I think you can get like... real life physical posters for cheaper than that. :v Who decides on these prices?

Honestly the prices on the housing items continuously baffle me. I don't agree with the prices on mounts and outfits, and before anyone says it yes I don't buy them and am voting with my wallet already, but I can at least understand them given their various uses. Housing items however? People generally want to buy more than one of them if they use them, and for something like these huge posters I could definitely see them being a hot commodity if they were a lot cheaper depending upon the color they have splashed on the back. A lot of housing designers use the back of the existing posters in the game to do some really cool things with the housing glitches we have available, but I can't see many people breaking down to buy these for that purpose when the price is so prohibitive.

They are hand-painted by Alphinaud. Minimum wages and all.

They are what they think they can get away with.

[Rasikko]

This is actually a good question..

[Limecat]

Because there are people stupid enough to buy it, and there is no limit to the amount of money the shareholders want.

Honestly? The only one I would maybe consider buying is the Shadowbringers poster. But even then I would wait until it was on sale or something. They know people will pay these prices, otherwise they wouldn't list them so high.

I know right? I'm surprised they didn't charge $14.99.

And I am sure they are being sold at that price. Expensive pixels but people buying these are "whales". That type of content is made for them and priced for them.
