Anybody buy store armor?

[Jolly Devil]

I’ve put 85 hours into this game so far and I don’t think I’ve seen a single player using store bought armor running around. $25 for a single armor is basically another game. No shade if you have bought some but is it common for people to buy them? I’ve never seen stats of how much they sell with these. Some of the sets are really cool but the price is insane. Do you think they’ll ever reduce them to “normal” rates or do enough people (prob whales) buy them that they don’t care about people like me who will never spend $25 for a single transmog outfit?

Monetization is bad. I can see how this can end very badly.

My idea, we all give 10 bucks to them every month and we all have a chance to win some money too. If wins was 500 or 1000 bucks, most people would keep paying 10 bucks per month.

IMHO those items shop are awfull. No point to buy. For example male sorcerer itemization looks like drag queen outfits. Bad joke. All items looks cheap and with gloss. There is no elegance, no sense of taste. The clothes look like they come from a thrift store for teenagers.

Does anyone really care what their little character's model looks like in this game?

I bought some, I liked the way the armor looked. It is cosmetic only afterall :)

If the armors were like $10, I might consider buying a few of them, but $25 is so crazy. Like I know it's buzzard and they do this with all their games now, but it's not like you can even see the armor that well while playing, like in Overwatch or even WoW. It just seems like this can't be a sustainable models, but then again, whales may be buying this left and right.

It just makes me mad cause some of the really cool looking armors are $25-$28. I love transmog and it bothers me that they keep so much of it for the store.

Nah they will never reduce prices. You have to realize where blizzard operates and how many employees they have. Kotick also always needs new yachts every year.

They are trying to catch whales with FOMO and thats far more profitable than trying to get the average dude that wants to buy one or to of these armors.

I mean think about it. 1000 (probably even far more) blizzard stans buying the whole cash shop is a far better monetization tactic than having like 50/100 k people buying one or two sets.

It sucks for people like us but thats the times we live in. They do not make games for fans. They make games for whales. The whole game screams whale design. Thats the reason why they have a whole department of psychologists working there.

No. I don't support paid cosmetics in full priced games.

So you would want it to be free 2 play with more microntransactions with higher prices? Or want subscription based with full priced expansions with microtransactions?

Devs have to make a living you know, pretty hard to do, when they have to charge less for countries where currency is less valued.

Also it's a live service game, like Division 1-2 or Destiny 1-2

So you want nothing, but complain.

I would buy them if they would cost like 10-15$. Now they are just over priced .
