Halloween skins

[Faputa]

The new Halloween skins are a scam imo. They're overpriced because they've purposely been bundled with other items you don't want, or items you want individually. Previous bundles, head and outfit, have been around half the price ($15) 750 caliber. So a silly back and emote makes it double the price? I believe they did this on purpose because nobody bought the summer back piece, so now if you want a specific item you HAVE to buy everything.

All of that is without mentioning that the skins for Gley and Bunny look like re-skins of the default Luna outfit... God awful pricing for pretty generic mediocre skins. Look, the Evolved Ajax skin, a bundle with essentially six different parts (three head and three outfits), is $38. These Halloween bundles are a quarter of the value of the Evolved Ajax bundle for almost the same price. The price isn't even necessarily the problem, it's the fact that you cannot get an individual item without buying the entire bundle.

they definitely need to pump the brakes on pricing. Whoever prices this sh.it is 100% insane and probably hates the human race. The fact that they split up the caliber so you're just barely under making you buy another bundle just for 5-10 caliber shows how douche.bag nexon is

Skins aren't terribly good, but the chair emote is excellent. Yet no way in Earth I'll pay $30 for an emote

I forgot about that, you have to spend $69.99 to get both exclusive skins or spend $49.99 + $4.99. Ridiculous consumer strategies at play here, not even hiding it. And I used to defend the prices... can't do that anymore

lol goes to show that Collateralized Debt Obligations/CDOs are still going strong in the "financial" world.

For those that don't know what that is, it's the 2nd part of what caused the 2007 financial crisis, banks packaged bad loans with good ones to sell to others to "average out the risks". Unfortunately for them, some of the so called "good" loans were less "good" than expected and a huge chunk of it just became worthless, causing bank crashes.

Its a nice skin but for me its not worth the price. Ill pay 3 maybe 5 but not 30

This is the problem with the premium shop as a whole. They know nobody would buy the bundles if you could buy skins individually so almost everything that you want is part of a bundle that is full useless cosmetic filler. Want a nice hairstyle? Have to pay up extra for make up that you don't need and vice versa.
It's honestly insane marketing to me because usually the point of bundles is to make things sold together to look cheaper than it is to buy them individually but we either don't have a point of reference for that or already know that the prices are jacked up since it's so expensive.

[You again?]

Yeah should have been 750 caliber.

Chair emote is godlike. No wonder they locked it behind bundle. Cheap move, indeed.

You're right, it's not necessarily a scam, but it doesn't change the fact that it's exploitative and manipulative marketing and it sucks.
