Re: *An Update on The Iron Crown Event*

Wow, Not even a mercy spit.

I wanted the pathfinder skin and paid $100 for it.

I trusted you to keep it behind the pay wall thus making it more rare. Now that skin will be everywhere for $18..

I have been a good customer and spent 500 USD to support your awesome game.

Didn’t expect this.

I will give you a week but it looks like this is where it ends.

    @-BiA-Pesqez why do you care about a skin so badly in a fps . If it was 3rd person I still think anything over 5 bucks is too much money on something so meaningless but at least you would get to see what you paid for. I just dont get it .
  • @SlivPTS Ya , its very predatory . Whats really sad is these people grew up on microtransactions so they dont even see how crazy it is. For the amount of money people spend on a few skins that you cant even see , I could go buy a new BBQ or a couch etc.

    Whale? No, I’m a person who works way too much and enjoy a good computer game when I have time. I wouldn’t say supporting something good is bad. 

    But yes, it’s not like a donation to charity - it’s a computer game and I expect special treatment for my money.

    Absolutely, but it’s cool

    And i think you lie to yourself and all this "to support awesome game" is just an excuse.

    This line says everything:
    "I wanted the pathfinder skin and paid $100 for it."
    It has nothing to do with "supoport". You are whale by definition.
  • I wish they'd just reduced the event length so an end was put to all the griping frankly. 

    It sucks.

    We aint happy about it.

    Is there anything more that  needs to be said?

    Ok, think of it this way:

    The game needs both whales and freeloaders. BR game needs alot of player to start a match. Freeloaders keep  the playerbase healthy, and eventually will attract big spenders.

    A F2P game with no big spenders aka whale ?

    In 6 months, They will stop development. No more new contents.

    After 6 months, they close some unpopulated servers.

    After that, more and more server will be closed until the game become dead completely. End of a cycle.

    Another thing, F2P is the best mode for BR game now. It allows easy entry for new players aka build up playerbase.

    Blackout, Firestorm failed because it's a paid game. Only PUBG survived because it was 1 of the first BR gam and its price is easy to swallow.

    @Pesqez didnt lie when he said he supports this game with his $500

    and now YOU think of it this way:
    They should not target ONLY whales (players with ADDICTION), but all players. For average player these prices are insane. If they will offer good skins for GOOD price, i am sure their income will be the same (or even higher).

    Well, the price is expensive because it's exclusive item. If everyone can buy it, it's no longer exclusive.

    Pricing wise, PUBG weapons costs $15-$20 for exclusive weapon skins, I dont remember exactly but CoD BO4 price is quite expensive as well.

    As long as they keep the server in good performance and offer exciting game contents, ppl will be happier with the price. Also, buying coin should be easier than now.

    That's the problem, they are all "whaling" and you already accepted it as a norm. If players will not argue about prices, then prices will only grow.
