Fairly disappointed in the microtransactions.

The OP is spot on.

The fan boys in this community are starting to become truly sickening.

You seems to be running into the same problem I have. You're trying to be subtle, but it's ending up as obtuse.

I'm not getting it, but I'd be grateful if you'd enlighten me.

I understand they need to make money, but gouging your customers is not the way to go about it. I don't mind supporting smaller studios, but I want to feel like I didn't get bent over the table in the process. If items are priced fairly I'll most likely spend more money overall.

The stash tabs, which are the only non-cosmetic item, are priced exceedingly fairly. Much cheaper than in GW2 for example.

As for cosmetics, what do you mean fair? How is it unfair that I can only afford the black or white scorpions but not the electric ones. Honestly. if they were all priced the same, people might prefer those, but since there is something more expensive down the line, somehow people think that the other stuff is cheap junk.

The fact is, free-to-play games exist on a minority of players paying excessive amounts while most players pay little or nothing. The pricing of the items mirrors that. GGG encourages the big spenders by letting them have expensive/exclusive items. In fact, some of big spenders have a huge glut of points from the diamond packages. How are they even going to spend more if they don't have big ticket items to scratch their itch?

The prices are fair, not because everything is equally priced or everything is cheap (it isn't), but there are micros for all price ranges. PoE has really expensive pets. No one would disagree. PoE has some really cheap pets too, and a lot of them are just as cool! What's fair doesn't even enter into the equation, since they are optional and have no value beyond what individual players place upon them.

I am still baffled by statements like this. The microtransactions are virtually a bonus if you wholeheartedly love the game, aren't they? Support because you love the game and want it to succeed, and care not for the shinies that come with.

I feel some items are grossly overpriced, to the point of being ridiculous.

This is the wrong way of thinking about it. These items fund development, the cost of which is inestimable on our end. It pays bills, salaries, what has been spent in the past and things yet to be bought.

My own thread cover's a lot of points on this topic aswell but ill post my solution here.

Give us more for what we are paying for, if credit card costs are too high then give us more things for the god damn $20 USD we are paying.

1 weapon skin should not be $20 USD, thats just greed and you guys all know it no matter how fan boy you are.

Instead why don't you give a weapon skin, a head effect and a couple tash tabs for $20? Id gladly pay for that but there is no way in hell i will pay $7.50 or $10 for a weapon effect again.

I didnt like the ice crown and wanted to change, but $7.50 is just too much to pay for pixels.

The fan boys call me poor, not knowing i do have money, i just dont spend it on stupid deals that rip me off.

A free game and people bitch about optional cosmetics being overpriced. Sickening really.
