Just a suggestion.
Lower the prices on the market. I had some cash today, thinking about spending it to buy that new 20 dollar companion. I thought.Then I spent it on something that would last for a bit instead (saving 100 dollars). This is exactly what I was talking about before.
When you start charging prices for everything, reset talent points(5.00), bag (10.00 greater bag of holding that's not account wide) you become aware at the stuff that costs money. It become not so much, pay to win but pay to play kind of thing. My point is that when you nickle and dime customers for every thing.
They become more aware, in return start spending less. Not because the game is less fun but it takes some of the fun out of the thing when it feels like you need to buy (bag space, reset talent points) on every toon. It just doesn't sound like a smart return.
Just a suggestion. Obviously I will keep playing the game. I'm into it. For long term growth success, once people stop paying as much they did before, then less money be driven into the game and in my point of view, less players because of the cost.
Maybe I'm wrong, just my input.

By no means am I against the ZEN model, and buying something cool for my account, but scaling the costs should be considered.
There will be a free version of the Drow released in the fairly near term (6/20 + ~60 days).
None does. He was saying you could save money by just getting that (which has the companion) and then buying the mount from the zen store, as compared with the Hero of the North pack.
For everyone but you...

I don't know why it needs to be brought up when there is a solution for it already.
750k AD($~21) to upgrade it to purple

So, you don't buy video games, then? After all, a video game is nothing more than pixels on a screen.
if you ever learn to read they said "pixels on a screen"
A video game bought from a shop is 1) physical, 2) belongs to you and 3) cheaper than alot of stuff in game.
A pixel bought in game is 1) virtual, 2) doesn't belong to you but belongs to the company and 3) more expensive than most said video games.
Nothing you can do about the dumbed minds of people in this world.
Video games ARE pixels on a screen. That is a fact, without any way to argue it.
Technically A video game is an Audio visual experience, Cash shop items are not video games they are infact just pixels.
Which leads me to tell you my original post is correct.
Pro-tip #2: Don't employ fallacious reasoning to attempt to make a point.
Do you pay for cable? Ever gone to a movie? Have you been to a music concert? Do you own those shows or that movie? Nope. But you have used those things before--what is the difference? There is none. A lack of tangible value does not mean something lacks any intrinsic value. Your argument about buying "pixels" holds no water.
Your cognitive dissonance doesnt let you see the reason behind arguments and what you posted is just a grossly twisted example you used to fit your agenda..I stand by my point...
First and foremost we are not talking about movies,music, shows...we are talking about a videogame that sales wedding dresses and novelty companions 30 bucks a pop or most recently a horse that now has.....purple flashy flames... (pixels on a computer screen) Don't misconstrue facts with bogus examples....
Overall I am really enjoying the game, I'm really excited for when a class releases that really fits me. I've played them all and I have tons of fun with them. None really grab me, I like them all but don't love one class yet.
The more I play, the tighter I hold onto my wallet. Thank you, Cryptic, for making it amazingly obvious not to invest money into your game.

You made no argument...your example was inaccurate and misleading; meant to support your premise that money spent on "pixels" is money wasted. It doesn't take a philosophical dilettante like yourself to understand this simple concept. You are talking pixels and you inference is that money spent on virtual goods is wasted...however, unlike movies, music, or shows, there is a certain virtual permanence to in-game purchases. Once you leave the movie you have only the memory of the experience but nothing else, tangible or virtual.
What your mistaking for fact is nothing more than youy opinion on what is of value to YOU, and what YOU would spend YOUR money on; self-centered reasoning and faulty.
State some actual facts and we can debate that.
