Skin Prices are way too high!
So the Omen Special package is 3800 Royal (Orange) Crystals this includes the Skin set, Weapons, Hose, and a bonus Background for your Character Select. That seems reasonable.

But wait. The Skin set and Weapon are bound to that class. You also only get one out of the 5 mounts!

As such you pay $38 USD (Assuming you are buying the cheapest $10=1000RC) for a Skin set you can only use on one character at a time as well as a single mount color of choice.

Considering how alt friendly this game, some deeming it alt requiring, I find it atrocious just how much they are charging for skins. On top of it all, you can only get the bundle once, AND the Omen Package twice!. So if you want to fully kit out your free roster of 6 in total it will cost you 23350RC which if you buy the $100 RC set that's $200 USD for 6 skins.

When I think of skins for games I think maybe $5 USD for just one character or $10-25 for all your characters, but $200 for 6 characters?! Not to mention if you purchase additional character slots you and you want more skins.

Granted if you like the skin, good on you. I quite like the new Omen Skin set. However $40 USD for a skin set that is only usable on one character is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane pricing.

(Because I know people are going to mention it, it is class bound not character bound. Okay. Cool so Deathblade and non existent Demon Hunter ripoff get to trade the skin via the stash not just both have it at the same time.)

What are your thoughts on the pricing of cosmetics in this game?

It's a premium price cause it's a ''new'' skin. Even though I wouldn't buy it for this price, I like that it is so high since it is quite a cool skin and I don't want everyone to buy it cause then it will lose its appeal for me a little bit.

Oh and I wouldn't buy it cause you can't dye it ^^

The skins are absurdly overpriced for sure, but my bigger gripe is that they only released ONE set. One. Just one.
And it's weird edgelord grimdark.
If there was a decent skin out I'd probably get it, but if they are really going to only release one skin per month that's a very stupid move tbh. They will never have more prospective skin buyers than they have right now.
By the time a skin I like gets released I'll probably have already quit playing (along with the majority of the current playerbase)

Whether prices are high or not is subjective. If you're use to paying a certain amount for skins and Lost Arks skins are within that range then you will probably think it's fine.

Personally, I don't buy skins for games. In almost every game I've played I consider them to be way overpriced especially since they normally only apply to one toon, sometimes bind to that toon and can't be used on different servers/transferred. If I can't switch a cosmetic between my toons I won't even entertain the idea.

And with Lost Ark it appears even the free cosmetics you get bind to a class and cannot be used across servers. So even the free stuff you have to be very careful which toon you use them on. And pets and mounts are server specific so you can't use those either so I don't even think about buying them at all.

The only thing I'm ever interested in games are character slots. If they are above $5 each I won't get them. And the way Amazon has their crystals set up you pay $20 and get 2,200 crystals which would be fine if the toon slots were $5 because I could get 4 for $20 and have crystals leftover but they're 800 crystals which would only allow be to buy two slots.

Just gonna wait till there is a sale and hope it allows me to get 4 slots for $20 or the $20 package gives me 3,200 crystals. It is what it is.

The game that I liked their pricing of was Warframe. Their Plat (premium) prices, character slots, weapon slots, companion (pet) slots and skins were rather cheap imo. I've bought Plat a hand full of times but never any skins. Even got a warframe and cape/cloak from one of those Plat purchases. I haven't played in a while though.

If you like the game and want to support it then I do suggest you buy something from Amazon/Lost Ark and NEVER buy from gold sellers. Always support games you enjoy.

Buy from Amazon = support game and more likely to stay open
Buy from gold seller = not supporting game and more likely to close down

To each their own.

Well looks like some people are really missing the thing that's called a brain. If you buy gold from people with real money, then you likely will gona get a perma ban. Just to let you know, buying gold ist not allowed and will cause a ban which is good. Because of these gold seller, every market in an MMO gets heavily inflated.

Its funny because I suggested on reddit that the skin they released was edgy to appeal to Western audience who were trashing the "normal" clothes skins weeks prior. Got called a incel LOL.

Some folks just want regular outfits, is that too much to ask?

Look at Black desert online, same thing. just cosmetics. you wanna look cool? then you buy it, but no ones forcing you.
I know no one is forcing me to, but compared to other games, maybe not BDO but WoW or DST for example: WoW you have free transmogrification based on stuff you unlocked from prior, new, or competitive experiences. They recently started adding actual transmogs/skins to the game via paid transactions that, guess what? are equipable by ALL characters. Plus they are $25 USD or so. for ALL characters across ALL servers.
Then you have DST by Klei which has skin packs for certain characters, but those skins can be used by anyone (minus the head because that's the entire character identity) Plus you have skins for things you can place in the world that can be used by anyone. WoW has a subscription of $15 USD or $20 if you pay your subscription with in game gold. for DST you have the one time payment and that's it. You also get skins for free in DST and can craft 95% of all the skins (exceptions being those that were pre-spool system). So honestly it is just the sickly greed I see rather than anything beneficial for the player in anyway. I am genuinely surprised that WoW of all games has a better cosmetics system than something that is relatively new to the MMO industry.

You're comparing a F2P game to an actual MMORPG with a subscription model.. Nah man, you never compare a F2P game to a P2P game, ever.

I do agree that the skins and such are priced too high in this game, but the prices aren't the worst i've seen in a F2P game.

It's garbage for $38 you should have it account bound on all characters on your account no matter which servers you are using. It's like Amazon are doing everything to make me want to hate them even more. Also why they not banning bots i see them everywhere while leveling (i'm 24lvl atm).
Bots are the issue you blame the developers, Amazon is just the publisher. I believe though you can yell at Amazon for the pricing of things though maybe the developers are to blame for that. I know the devs are to blame for things being character/roster and not account bound.

Blaming the publisher for not handling the bot issue is the right tree to bark at aka the correct thing to do.

It's not the developer's job to ban the bots we see here in the western versions, but Amazon Game's job to deal with them. Sadly, they don't and that is causing more and more players to quit. Just last night i spent 40 minutes reporting bots that teleported to a quest NPC i was standing next to. In those 40 minutes, i racked up about 200 reports, and i also know i managed to miss a few because some came clustered together making it impossible to target them all.

This game should've been Buy to Play. That would've eliminated the bot issue altogether. Might've had the odd bot here and there but nowhere close to where it is right now.

not bothered by the price of skins, i also dont go out of my way to get them for the class i main which is currently bard since theyre all pretty ugly on bard.

But tbh ive spent more than any sane person should on skins in PoE and those prices are crazy, so if i liked the skins i probably would buy them.

Why can't you just ignore it and don't buy or just get it with gold its only 15k gold on my server...... They have to make money somehow and in the dev vids this is where most of it comes from.

what an odd comment. it's pretty obvious they want a skin and don't want to ignore it, they just wish they were cheaper.

your comment is odd.

if you can't afford the skin with real money, you can very easily save your in game gold to buy the skin with that. why not do that? its free too you know.
