What would you pay for a pack similar to the Dragonborn Pack currently on sale?
Where'd my blinky-blinky path go?

I don't want all the other junk.
Or course, with PWE running the show, this stuff is likely to cost double or more.
I checked $15, $30 and Depends on the race based on those criteria.
As far as the currently offered Dragonborn Legend Pack goes, it includes much more than that and so can't really be compared to what this poll is asking about.
I would certainly pay more than $30 for the Dragonborn pack as it is right now, but not as much as they are asking. I am sure that there are many players for whom the cost is well worth it. But, I have weighed carefully and find that for me, personally, it is not worth it at this time. At the $75 sale price, it comes close but not quite. I'd go $50 as is.
I'm just waiting to see if they say, "But Wait! There's more!..."

I'm actually fine with pay for races as long as they aren't OP to an extreme in all areas of the game. It's the lack of a'la carte option for a race that is not being offered with a free skin, because that is what the elf versions were both drow and sun elf, the free version had slightly worse racials and a different skin. That was a great system for running with a pack only. With only one option it should be offered a'la carte for about $15.00 to be in line with other p2p games that sell races.
You're mistaken. A race isn't a core part of the game. You can play the ENTIRE game with the races available. Any additional race is considered cosmetic and is YOUR decision to buy. The problem here, is they're asking way to much. Even if the race is very overpowered.

This pack would need sooooo much more things in it to worth that 100 bucks. (Mount, companion, some AD.)

This. $20 at most but I'd prefer about $15 with an included character slot.
You'd think they would follow the same "sell more for less".

it is not cosmetic when items are pinned to the race...

Not trolling, but do you have the actual quote?

For the dragonborn race? Either $5 or 800-1200zen (which means it could be bought with AD)
Cryptic never said races. They said classes and content. People always assumed races was involved, but that wasn't the original quote in the old Pre-launch FAQ.
To be honest I have all races I want in char creation so right now I don't need any special pack and I really don't like monsterous races (that includes DB, orcs and halflings*) so no go for me this time.
*Halflings are beasts belive me, they're short, fast and have 50% resist to CC also they first look at you with "puppy eyes" and then stab you in the back they're true monsters
If classes go paywall - then I would vote with my feet despite the amount of money spent on this game. Hopefully that shouldn't happen. Nothing seen so far indicates that they'll go that way, but I'm now at 85-90% confidence instead of 99.99%.
The $75 is for a race and a bunch of other items. IMO, the only problem with the Dragonborn Pack is that it has Bind on Equip items in it. Every unique item in these packs should be usable by every character on your account and Bind on Pickup. Would be nice if it has its own epic mount and companion to make it more attractive to buy, but with it having Bind on Equip items, then it is a major turnoff.
Same here.
