Reduce Microtransactions costs

I, like many, enjoy this game and believe it has the potential to become #1 ARPG ever.

The fact that its f2p is awesome and the supporter packs are also great to keep the cash flow income needed to keep supporting the game.

However, seeing the microtransactions costs, I believe they're quite expensive and it may not be attractive enough for people to toss in 10-20$.

Let me explain the aforementioned:

1. Microtransactions costs are quite elevated. Therefore, paying 20$-30$ just to afford a pet doesn't make much sense.

2. The fact that I can buy so little stuff with 100-200 points (10-20$ equivalent) holds me back from actually buying them.

3. So, say, if you reduce the cost of microtransactions, it would turn small ammounts of points a lot worth it. But, as of now, paying 50$ for supporter pack just to afford a pet and a sword visual effect doesn't make much sense.

4. There's already plenty of stuff to sink the microctransaction points (guild management; stash upgrades; pets; plenty of cool visual effects).

It's just my point if view. I believe if you lwoer the costs, you may get a ton more of small point purchases.

Regards,
There's quite a large amount of cheaper options.
Quit thinking of it as "paying for". You're supporting the game, and get something that shows off your level of support.
On one hand i agree, those prices are ridicolous. As a company I dotn see the problem to make stuff a bit cheaper so more people buy it. Comes out to about the same amount of money they make but more people enjoying their time with the game and the shop.
On the other and its their game+shop and everything in there is just cosmetic and doenst impact in the game itself.

My personal experience with game companies is, you can qq all day about the prices but there is nothing going to change. So just buy or dont=/
Just wait for discount price ;)

You're missing the point. It's not about supporting the game or nor it's level: it's about the positive impact lowering microtransaction costs would generate (a much bigger amount of small point purchases)

failed logic... people want to support the game, but if its too high its too high...its not like if its cost GGG something to make more of X mtx
ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it

failed logic too, bud. When everyone can afford the mtx then you dont have the feeling of beeing "special/unique" with your Hero, cuze everyone/more will walk with the same effect around.

So maybe more ppl tend to say "nah everyone have this shit effect now, im more special with using nothing".

I still get "wow cool portal" for my First Package Portal... And its just 50$ or so...

Will it cheaper, i wont hear this nearly 1-2times per day, cuze the ppl see it to often and dont think its "cool".
I think the cash prices are extremely generous. If you think about it you get a polished game with loads of replay value completely for free, zip, nada, nothing.

Then there are those who complain about the high end of purely cosmetic items when there are many, many cheaper options like SL4Y3R mentioned above. With daily/holiday sales on top of that. Don't you think that's a tad bit ungrateful?

Well, there are a lot of pets that cost less than 100 points. Actually the big majority of cosmetic effects cost less than 100 points.
