Good customer service, based IN the US, cost money.

Dedicated servers IN the US, cost money.

The US dollar is no longer a strong currency on the world market. Compare at www.xe.com.

Having a dedicated staff that ARE gamers, IN the US, attending to and working on PWE's games, cost money.

Advertising in the US, and globally costs money.

Fighting bots, hackers, scammers, fraud, etc; costs a lot of money and resources to try and keep our players from feeling the negative effects thereof.

So the prices may be high to some of you, but I think after a few weeks or so, after they have more numbers and feedback to deal with, that some changes might occur.

You can totally enjoy the game without cash shop items, it just takes more time and effort.

We understand these things cost money, that's why we are informing you how to make more money... If the prices were half'd you're profit would easily double or triple, if you would actually read the posts you would see that. I can guarantee you have already lost thousands of dollars with these cash shop prices, and the people who spent money wouldn't have spent less, if anything they would have spent more. Sorry for seeming angry but it seems you have ignored what we as a community are attempting to tell you, we don't want to hurt your game we want to help it and see it last as long as it can, so please listen and stop being ignorant.
