$45 for a mount, $10.00 for a Bag Slot.
Seems liek the prices are a bit exaggerated, please rethink reducing your prices to reflect the industry standard. I have no problems paying RL Cash for items, but they need to have value.

HAH I see what you did there.
Character is what a man is in the dark
. . . To think that this game would be cheaper was/is a pipe dream. . .
Erm i think you have it wrong there, the only thing inline with sto was the lockbox keys everything else is either non comparable or just over priced: e.g.
-->mount does not equal a starship(a starship shoots/has abilities ect a mount...just moves you at a somewhat rapid rate and dismounts when you perform any action or get hit 3-5 times ) also a mount costs $5 - $40 a ship costs $5 -$25.
-->companions and officers are equivalent, both give powers or cast abilities and attack in combat, the cost of sto bridge officer is $5 the cost a companion in D&D NWO is $15- $35.
-->24 inventory slots(equivilent to a bag) in STO costs $8 whilst a bag in D&D NWO costs $10.
-->costumes in STO cost $5.50-$7 costumes in D&D NWO cost $12- $30.
-->Duty officer packs in sto cost $2-$2.75 and in D&D NWO the profession packs cost $3-$7.
and don't even get me started on champions online as it is more budget friendly then STO at the moment.
The reason why im giving you this information and putting it in this thread however is not because i wish to prove you wrong (however inadvertently) but because these prices were the prices in a BETA WEEKEND which means they are subject to change and if the powers that be happen to read this thread i don't wont them coming to the wrong conclusion about "comparable" pricing and how the prices they just used in the latest offering were somehow so.
Sad because this means once I get my Bag slots I will never spend another dime in the cash shop cause its to expensive. I spent alot in GW2 because things were reasonable. I would buy a Mount or a Companion this very instant if it was no more then $25 for mount or $20 for a companion.

Sigh I spent way too much on PS2. Got armor, guns and camo on ever class =/.. If NW does daily or weekly deals like PS2 did and cuts prices temporarily then it would be ok
Cost of buying 1 companion in neverwinter $15-35
Cost of filling your all your Max level ships 6 duty stations with zen store bridge officers $30
Seems pretty close to me. . . .
The prices here are nothing like in STO.
if you didnt see the blantant gouging with the pricing of the Founder's pack as an indicator of how they would running this game, then you werent paying much attention.
Haha yeah I spent about 400 bucks on PS2 to see that game quickly tank. Due to Air or Infantry being the only real options already. I spent 280 on The Secret World before that for all the packs and some cool extras when the game launched. That game is kinda in limbo for me atm. I think I have had 10 times more fun in STO and have only spent 20 bucks though I got those starter items from this cough 200 dollar pack.
Kinda been gravitating towards PW games since at least the currency I can drop can be used on several different fun games.
Mounts are account wide.
Companion are character. You can unbind a leveled Companion with Astral Diamonds and trade to another character or sell it at its current level for profit.
A little sad, but true.
I want to buy things from the z-store and make everyone happy.
But I will not do so if they are priced in such a way that it feels like I am donating money, rather than getting my coin's worth.
In the end, if prices stay as they are, I'll probably get one or two things from the store, if they ever make something that fits my main's concept exactly, and otherwise enjoy the free parts of Neverwinter.

It needs to be more in line with Guild Wars 2 Market, us westerns don't like far east mark ups.
I think these prices are temporary.
They are high right now, just to increase the value of the "founder packs".
We can think that as business strategy.
I believe prices will go down after open beta.
I might be wrong though... who knows...
I hope you right because it is a big big big ripoff ! :rolleyes:
That's my hope at least...that their cash shop is a total freakin failure.
I don't want to spend $30 for a Honey Badger or however much it is. Sure I get a Black Panther for part of my Hero Pack but I'd much rather have a Honey Badger :cool:
Honey Badger for the win!!!
Prices need to come down please.
What Class Are You?
I mean, bags and respec tokens are musthaves but with those prices I am not sure I will buy any.
Personally I would gladly buy things if the prices were lower - much lower. As long as I felt I got something for the money. Say 10 respecs for 5$, or 1-2$ for a bag. Then I would buy those things all the time to all of my characters, resulting in a lot more income to Cryptic than me (and I am sure others as well) not buying anything.
