Gem's price. Really hi rez ?

[draculaura]

Thanks hi rez! Gem price almost quadrupled in Turkey. It's ridiculous to treat players in other countries like that. League of legends skin prices are now cheaper here. I will never buy a gem again. I'm really upset because this was the only online game i played. In this point, it makes much more sense to buy another AAA games.

Sept no, hi res chose to jack it up. Period.

People are always going to look for a way to save $, rather then being angry at people getting gems to use on the laughably overpriced gambling economy hi res made up, be angry at hi res for making said gambling economy that makes people want to spend less.

It's a completely fake currency, the price is whatever they want, there is no actual price. The stuff could be free and they market the game in a less exploitative way. But there's no pressure for them to do that as the people who make the decisions will only make as much or more money regardless of how the business goes until it's sold or whatever and the execs get to move on rich.

Just look at World of Tanks/Wargaming if you want to see how greedy a company will be regardless of the complaints of it's playerbase. Literally p2w except its basically the only game like it, Warthunder doesn't play anything like it even if it also has tanks. Even if a game is dying, the only thing that matters is the bottomline. All they have to do is squeeze more money out of the playerbase without spending much on improvements. Welcome to unregulated Capitalism. Profit first.

Most game companies use regional pricing. even ea games. Because getting some money is better than not getting any money at all. Personally, I was regularly spending money on this game and I wasn't the only one. After removing regional pricing I don't think players from 3rd world countries will pay for this game, gem prices have even increased in Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, China. This is really ridiculous. Instead of banning these scammers, they did unfairly to entire playerbase in some countries.

Just take the god pack. thats how much this game is worth, 30 dollars and no one more than that. I dont think that game deserve more than that from my wallet.

Yep, pretty much every popular game follows this model: prioritization of microtransactions with a less emphasis on meaningful content.

Hi-rez are professional whale hunters. It is well known. There is zero reason why a couple of pixels and animations should cost me the same as an entire other game. Just don't buy it unless its on sale or some free deal.

Unfortunately, a lot of people lack the will to resist microtransactions, hence why microtransactions are the standard for every single game regardless of genre. Gaming companies are making far more money now releasing less content than ever.

Really RIDICULOUS!

They just increased the normal prices for everyone that isn't american/european for NO REASON whatsoever.

I got a feeling they are very xenophobic and don't want us playing their game.

Even for Eu they increades Prices.... Not on Gems but on skins. There are quite a few skins wich cost 400 gems "back then" in Season 1-5 but now the very same skin costs 1200 gems... (no joke)

So yeah while it relly sucks to be gamer from 3rd world.... here,,,, its just a greedy company

[Harem Route]

Yeah, this is just ridiculous now... sufficed to say not even the "sale" helps
