Online Store is Getting Worse!

sorry I just have a master degree in economics and finance

doubt this one

It’s about right in price, but in saying that most of what’s on there isn’t something I’d personally buy. I got the bike (still better than island one imo) a few pots of dye, a couple mounts I don’t use, and one glam set. The rest looks pretty crappy to me. But it’s all opinions and mine stinks no better or worse than the next persons.

If you don’t like the shop, don’t use it. They’ll keep adding to it as long as people buy it. But in the end it does no harm, gives no advantage.

you dont pay a painter for the paint you pay them for the years and years hard work to get to that point

overpriced is not how you fell about it. its how much its cost to make vs how much they sell it for. and ones more why its more that the patch content?

Ur talking about cost, not about value

Ur talking about cost, not about value

I pay 1000$, I sell it 1000$ (without wages), this is the price only considering cost, without considering added value


Now the how much is the added value?, 1010$? if it's doable by anyone? 1040$? Because everyone wants it? Or 10 000$ because only few people can make it ? Etc

"Value" don't have any strict economic definition

The "FAIR price" is the price that make people sell and buy

The financial illiteracy in this thread is mind numbing.

What's more distressing to me is that these people will vote.

while I agreed with a person's reasoning.
it has nothing to do with the way a MMO cost, price, and worth works.
Let alone the cost for the devs would mean the amount they pay their workers<most likely salaried> and then the cost to keep the lights on, and etc.
which doesn't work.
since the items and shop don't have any sort of limitations, or production per item.
this ain't Island Sanctuary. which would make sense on how it's supposed to work.

the cost for the dev is near zero much more<than light, is to its own speed> since they paid for it all beforehand.

it's the same pipeline of content. with a fork that splits specific items to the shop. or the main game.<and can be changed at anytime. hence why seasonal also gets added. or why items that should be game drops, get shoved into the shop, or R.A.F./Callback.>

for a company with a limitless item, the best option is to get many to adopt/buy the item. some took the price. but many more than that small minority will never due to the worth they know they'd gain.

many logical, and reasonable points.
but none of that applies to the conversation of the shop prices, and it's worth vs the cost.

If anything. SE is gimped/mained on how much they sell.

and the counterpoint to change boil down to subjectives.

[personally, I wish they had two options, a higher cost Accountwide, and a slightly lower cost single. but of course the change I'll get that is low, due to those against alts for all reasons, but that's irrelevant]

$22 for the latest set which is a freaking pajama hoodie...



It's never enough for Squeenix. Even during a sale store items are insanely overpriced. I couldn't buy anything this year because the prices are just too damned high for my meager budget. How do they justify these outrageously high prices? How do people justify paying them? $42 dollars for a mount? Who has that kind of money!?

Give us a break, Squeenix.

The ball's on you to think you can talk about other people's finances. If you can't buy something; don't.

But don't go thinking you can tell me how to spend my hard earned money.

I'm not your mommy. If you wanna waste your money, you don't need my permission.

Don't buy it? Simple.
