Reduce Microtransactions costs

I agree with the OP in a way acualy


Id love to see many many things to buy for like 50 cents to 2 bucks.

Alot of work for GGG to put in for a small cash flow however over time i think it would be a good idea.

Also id like to see a few item's that are super very nice that should coast alot be cheap options. Just to give some 1 a really " can't losse " cheap option so thares no reason to not throw 20 bucks at the game.


Sometimes people PM me in game to compelment me on my guys looks ( thx u very much if u do this to any 1 ;) ) But sometimes when they see the effects i have they get pissed off cuz it's like 100 bucks or more worth or transactions then like 5 exsulteds of gear used as skin transphers. Now i don't think they should get the same things as me for cheap but giving them a cheap option to look bad ass would only help.




Just a sec let me grab a beer...@#*@ Ok how did I die this time

Learn the rules, it's the only way to exploit them.
Very well said, SirSid.

Quit thinking of it as "paying for". You're supporting the game, and get something that shows off your level of support.


why would anyone think like that? GGG is a company, shop is for customers. If you buy just to support you are a fanboi. I dont have to like a company to like a product. I pay for what I think I want or don't pay for what I think is not worth paying for.

as for "a lot of cheaper options" there are 4-5 and they all suck.

There are ALWAYS things on sale. Every day something new comes up. If you are patient you will be able to snag the things you want for a cheaper price.

Microtransaction costs are completely fine.

I agree with this, however I dislike that the points are set to specific amounts. Like I was thinking of getting stash tabs on sale the other day, but realized that I am not really saving anything since I would have to buy 20$ worth of points with or without buying anything on sale.

You say these things like its a bad thing to be a fan of a good game and the company that makes it. Are you not a fan of something you're willing to buy from simply to help them out?

Look at my budget. It was done very quickly and easily. 'Average' doesn't apply here. Not when there are clearly some mtxes priced purely for people like me, and some purely for people who don't want to spend much. Sure, between those you have the 100-200 GGGold mtxes, but again, I'm fairly sure they're aimed at people who already have GGGold. Still, if people want to fork out that much cash for some shinies, so be it.

My budget was for 200 GGGold. Allow me to extend it 1000 GGGold and I could do a LOT more than 'a few stash tabs, pet, trails' (whatever the fuck 'trails' are -- did Google translate fail there?).



"Trails" are footprints. Yes translate failed, in my head lol (in my language trails and footprints are same word actually)

I know what your budget is and I'm strongly in favor of leaving nice portion of vanity /expensive /badass looking items for people that have the funds and will to spend on this game - not all players should be carrying demon horn helmets around and that's perfectly fine.

What I was trying to say it that in general, looking by quality and sheer quantity of items, overall they should be cheaper. If I want to fully equip on character with mid class items it should not cost me 50 bucks because I could have 5 characters more. And I firmly believe that it would NOT harm the developer in financial way, quite the opposite actually.

You do understand that values should be reflected thru all world, not just to feel "fine" for, say, Scandinavia?

What is true is that the majority of mtxes are quite cheaply priced -- these complaints to 'lower the prices' are always people who see the lightning scorpion or the infernal weapon or whatever 'premium' mtx they really, really, really want but aren't willing to dish out for.



Nah, you're wrong.

I would say that typical mtx item costs around 100 points on average.
It's 10 bucks. So if i want helm, weapon effect, trails and pet i'll have to spit 50 bucks. It's way WAY too much.



Let's stick to the facts, shall we. And it is better to talk about the median instead of the average.

100 or 70, it does not change my point, besides most of cheap transactions are either skill effects that are usable just on small fraction of people using the skill (and liking the alternative effect) or very simple "light glow" weapon effects, only in different colors.

Interesting effects start at 50-60-70 ggg gold that's why I've said 100 on average.
