this is my first poe game but the mtx store seems a bit over priced.

[420]

thought?

[Havok]

Welcome to POE I guess.

Don't need to buy anything. The only arguable thing worth buying is storage slots. Past that, its all cosmetics. This is how free to play games make money... in case you havent realized

[Kimahn]

pretty sure it's a bug, all suits of armour are pretty much 40 euros, that's ludicrous. plus all the old mtx seem to not work at the moment. waiting is advised, they have other stuff to handle atm

[DVRKSTVR]

that money helps pay the devs. its worth every penny

I love buying items in cash shop that are cosmetic only. But this MTX store is beyond stupid, it goes WAY beyond over-priced. Nearly $65 USD for a SINGLE armor suit? And then another $48 USD for the matching wing/back-piece? CMON. That is absurd lol. Cash shops are meant to give the game makers a way to make some EXTRA cash, and this is not it sorry. Pricing one armor set at over $100 USD, when the base game is only $30??? Do you honestly see any logic to this approach?

I do feel they're slightly overpriced, but that's just my thoughts. Honestly, if the game was F2P, sure, charge a lot for cosmetics, but usually a game you have to pay for has lower priced ones. At least used to be that way. Now many game developers want it both way. Buy game AND higher mtx prices. I don't wanna pay $25 give or take per outfit, but that doesn't bother everyone. Just means I won't spend money on the game very often compared to if they were lower.

Its mtx. Its a choice to buy support or not.

I dont see the logic of having a $500 edition of the early access pack, literally the cost of a car payment, but people bought it. Dunno what to tell you. Yea, they are over priced as far as I am concerned, but yes. It is ridiculous, but people still swipe.

devs are smart enough to know not everyone is goign to buy armor etc and the people that are willing are prob willing to spend a bit more, this is how most free to play games make there money but the 5 percent of people that support the whole game while everyone else dont spend a time. this is exactly how free gotcha games work. WoW jsut came out with a 90 dollar mount but i dont see u over in there threads complaining?
u dont have to spend anything and the DEVS HAVE TO MAKE MONEY. they literally have to. and if the devs are smart enough to craft a whole game they are smart enough to know what to price there art. thats what it is at the end of the day, its art. art is subjective.

Base game is actually supposed to be free. You are just the sucker who paid 30 dollars for it.

[TotalTriscuit]

It's a free game. You can buy stuff or not. It isn't forced.

[Diminutive]

As a long time poe whale that got multiple free keys due to whaling, yes they are pretty damn expensive, however the game is free(will be) and no real mtx is required.

People will shout what about the tabs the tabs, not needed for majority of poe players, only the most item obsessed hoarder or 1000+ hours in a single season will run out of stach space. Though if you do get the tabs, they are by far one of the cheapest things on the store.

Everything else though, stupid expensive, that armor set? too much, pet? too much, cool spell effect? too much. Will any of these carry you to successful end game? No

So GGG can set the prices to what ever they want, it doesn't matter.

devs arent aloud to eat or feed their family.

I mean... it's a f2p game that sees regular updates/seasons. Gotta pay for it some how. People have played thousands of hours of poe1 so dropping 60 bucks on a MTX piece of armor is a drop in the bucket in comparison to how much playtime you've gotten out of the game. Support the devs of games you play. ez pz.

If not a suit of armor then just drop 30 bucks and get the specific stash tabs to make your life easier. One time purchase too since people kept all the tabs/MTX from poe1 to poe2.
