Cash Shop Pricing - Reasonable or Unreasonable

[sentinel_]

Hi all,

As you may have noticed the Cash Shop has recently been implemented in Allods Online.

I wanted to make a poll on the prices to see what peoples thoughts were in regards to them.

Here are the prices, which are converted from Gpotato > USD:

Perfume x 1 = 75c
Perfume x 20 = $13.50
24 Slot Bag x 1 = $20.00
Holy Relic x 1 = $15.00
Myrh x 1000 = $1.00
Steel Chest x 1 = $1.00
Key x 1 = 10c
Crystal Chips x 10 = $2.50
Crystal Chips x 50 = $12.00
36 Slot Bank Bag x 1 = $15.00

I think they are ridiculous. There is no way in hell i'm paying nearly a dollar for half an hour of PvP. Why not pay $15 and play a P2P MMO and get all the features and as much PvP as I want? As many instances as I want without fatigue... and much more.

Please vote so we can try to persuede gPotato they're making yet another mistake to add onto FOD, Flagging and Fatigue.

Pfft, If I lived in New Zealand I'd be out rock climbing instead of being extorted by this game. xD I feel ya though.

I'm not sure what you people are smoking, but I want some. If you people honestly think people will pay what you're asking, you MUST be smoking some really good [I Have a Potty Mouth].

Honestly though, CS prices are batshit insane.

You get over it if you live here lol ;D

But yeah, is it really reasonable to expect to pay $13.50 worth of Perfumes which will allow you to PvP without penalty for 10 hours at max level when you can subscribe to games which offer as many bags as you can carry, around the clock balanced PvP and no ridiculous Fear of Death debuffs for $14.95 which covers a whole month and doesn't limit you to ten hours?

Is it reasonable to charge $20.00 for six more slot upgrade to your regular game when you can also subscribe to another game for $14.95 and get this included in the package?

I realize that other sub games have an initial fee of $50 to purchase the game, but this is just ridiculous...

It'd be one thing if the bags were actually big enough, but 6 more spaces to hold stuff is NOT worth 20 dollars. And 13$ for 10 hours of raiding? Has anyone ever done endgame raiding? SOME OF THEM TAKE 10 HOURS TO DO! So I'm supposed to spend 13$ for a CHANCE to get SOME of the gear I want from a RAID. And I know this is assuming end game raid will be anything like WoW raids, which I expect them to be :/
