Commentary on Micro-transaction Pricing

Go ahead, if you feel the need to complain about non-gameplay altering cash shop items no one wants you here.

You certainly don't, but even before posting this I have found many who feel the same as me. Dismissing me out of hand just because you don't like my opinion only wastes your own time and energy. I'll still be here in this thread responding to those who take me and mine seriously.
u shouldnt worry about 700 points or any other expensive ones

its for people like us who has 15k points or higher.

we need to dump those points before we donate again.

The final bit, I don't recall ever calling for the removal of the pricy pets


You did argue for currently expensive pets to become cheap, hence effectively remove pricey pets.

If that is not the case let me ask you this, if the currently expensive pets were in the $5 price range, and the cheap ones were in the $50 range, would you have a problem with that?

im confused.

Does this cash shop sell upgrade or game breaking items?
Because it seems to me you have an entitlement issue, you are not required to spend a dime on this game and yet are mad they are trying to make a living in a morally unquestionable way?

fuck you sir,
fuck you with biggest pointiest sword one can find.


UTTERLY inappropriate.

(I haven't finished reading this thread.)

It's one thing to intelligently criticise the cash shop and its particulars, as the OP has done.

It's another to UNintelligently defend it.

You're not helping anyone here.
And they said *I* was bad at PoE. At least I made it out of act 1 and know how to use the /dnd function. El oh fucking el.

I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Since all the microtransactions except the extra stash tabs and character slots are totally useless I don't care how much they cost. Let the people who wants to see some glowing pixels on their screen pay $1000 for them if they so like, doesn't affect me.


You really think we supported at the $1000+ level for the glowy, shiny things?

There's a reason the microtransactions are primarily cosmetic. Why they're useless.

And why it's all the more important that those of us who can afford them, get them.

Because it's not what we're buying that we care about -- it's where the money goes.

I don't need that excuse, and I have over 50k GGGold. Still.

Indeed, it feels weird even now 'buying' microtransactions 'for free'. It takes some effort to remind myself that I've technically already paid for them, because when I supported GGG, it was nice to get the kiwis, the unique item design, the avatar, the swag...

Until very recently, all that GGGold had no actual value to me.

Even now, it's just a number that occasionally drops a bit because I want another arcane weapon effect or the like.

So I definitely feel no need to 'dump those points' before I support GGG again.

I'm NOT sorry if my passion for keeping a great game the way it rather than catering to the tirade of some entitled child.

This game is solely (excluding non-gam breaking functionals) sponsored by cosmetic items, and to suggest these items become cheap because it is too expensive to cater to the life of some few individuals who would rather donate a tooth than pay in cash seems utter non-sense to me, you might as well argue that air doesn't contain oxygen.

To exponentially compound this issue at hand is that there are affordable versions of the pet almost anyone can afford to splurge on.

You maybe right charan but youre wrong.
Fact is we donated so much money but in return, we got points.
Some of us donated just like you, for ggg, some of us donated for kiwi, and some unique or avatar.

Truth is we got points , its like credit card to ggg. Ggg's debts is points.
Of course some will keep donating but some will not buy any extra points until all are cleared.

There was a clear transaction. As someone who also supports various charities in the form of donations, I refuse to consider my support of GGG as a donation. If you were to press me, I might admit to being a patron or benefactor. But not a donor.

Yep, that's nice. I don't really disagree with the crux of your argument.

But:

The 'fuck you'? Still not appropriate and still abusive. Don't do it again please. You can clearly express your opinion and views without resorting to direct assaults on other players. Bully for you, good community member. You do that.
