Yea they really nailed it this league. Quality work.

Fix your game.

Crashed 7+ times today; no correlation between any of the circumstances.

This is like the 5th MTX release compared to ONE pathetic patch that did absolutely nothing. Put more of OUR support pack money into the games development and less into recycling and overpricing MTX.

Nearly $30 CAD for a fox pet... I refuse to believe you make more money pricing something so ridiculous, over a reasonable $5-10 dollars for what something is actually worth, and allowing a larger part of the player base to afford something nice.

Feed myself, or an f'in fox pet for $30. Also don't want to hear any BS about "You don't have to buy blah blah". That's not the point. The point is, I am 110% certain they can get 6 people to buy it at $5 vs a single person at $30 and please a lot more of the player base.

P.S. Might want to look into your trade site more... clearly people are using something illegal to improve their flipping abilities.

**edit (changed pricing to reflect only me in Canada.) I would have to buy an extra $5

So transforming Frostmourne from Warcraft nice.....

Nice theme there.

I see what are you doing there with the ice theme..

Clever but I can control my will to not spend..

no skill effects?

Isnt that like the best sellers?

If that were true, don't you think they'd do it? After all, according to your logic it'd make them more money, thanks to higher sales numbers. Evidently they don't think so, presumably based on the sales data they have. It's well known that microtransaction-funded games make a large portion of their revenue from a smaller number of whales rather than their revenue being generated evenly from across their entire playerbase. I'm guessing that's what GGG finds to be the case as well, hence why it's important to squeeze those fewer players for as much as they're willing to give. The non-whale players probably mostly contribute via stuff like stash tabs, character slots or even the hideout music player - all of which of priced lower (or rather regularly put on discount) in order to reflect this / cater to them. Cosmetics are for all the rich whales. It's worked so far, why would they change tactics now?
