Why is MTX so expensive?

Some of these sets cost as much as $50 or more, that's like a full game. I would spend so much more money if they lowered the prices by at least 70%, I've never seen prices so high for skins.

I know I don't have to buy them but seriously, cut the price down and you would easily 5x your sales. Even 50% would make a difference.

If only it was that simple.

As you pointed out - non-essential. And yet those that kop it paid that amount.
I think they didn't want to alienate those who bought at that price, too.
They would feel pissed too.

Yeah I don’t get it, but I’ve never paid a mtx in my life.
Until this game when I paid for some stash space - but as long as I never go above what I think the game is worth, $45 at this point in time, I’m fine.

But spend money on an outfit?? Maybe I would be tempted if a set was $1?

But apparently people do buy this stuff?!?! Beats me.

What I don't understand is why paying for mtx in a solo game ))

This has been called out many many times, and 100% guaranteed to not change. That said, they are cosmetic, so meh. Not a concern. What is of concern, is the amount of bullshit they have layered into this game making the *free 4 stash tabs* an absolute joke, and absolutely leaving f2p players boned big time.

It IS pay to win in many senses.

Additionally, charging 10 USD for 10 guild slots, is fucking shady as all fuck. Guilds should be free, members should not cost. That is a joke in my opinion.

GGG has definitely fallen from grace.

I just hope that in the VERY near future, people that purchased MTX's over the years in PoE 1 can enjoy using them in PoE 2 instead of being limited to what they have at the moment

sorry, no

imagine we have two same car. if we put a very high price on one of them, and name it as "Porsche", customer who can afford it will feel very honorable to buy it and get superiority feeling.

it is human nature of mankind. we must take advantage of it.

I don’t think it’s pay to win, but absolutely pay for massive convenience. The game has been beaten with 0 purchases. I would treat it as free to try, then if you like it pay for the game by buying a map and currency tab. It’s still cheaper than full game release plus whatever the hell they charge for expansions. I’m fairly sure I have spent less on this game than someone who bought D4 on launch + expansion.

If a person was dead set on not paying for anything they could create characters up to the limit and use the inventory space to hold extra items.

Guilds I know nothing about since I have no friends.

If no one brought them they would lower the prices, but some people must have more money than sense. I brought some for POE 1 as the game was free, but I paid for this game so no extra money from me at them prices

What some of the comments above said but didn't mention is what you (and I) paid for to TEST an early version of an unfinished game.

IN return you get 300 points to spend at the store at the minimum. I find this marketing plan extremely workable in favor of the developer (GGG)

And...in addition to the base EA access tier 0 can be later "upgraded" by adding more $$$ as you progress to tier 1..tier 2..etc

This flexible hybrid method works well in my case.

Hell i pay for coffee & cigarettes every month MUCH more than this and THIS is certainly healthier.. *cough*
