Uh... Where are you getting "free and cheap" from?

We want it for the normal boutique price that fashion has been going for. If you bothered to read, you'd note that the only other mentioned fashion that -does- go for 10g(and it's worth **** now), has a special effect to it. You're talking about a... 16m+(price goes up due to color) fashion, that does absolutely nothing. It's normal boutique fashion. Permanent, not limited time or pack fashion.

Most fashion does devalue after a bit, but that's after enough of it goes into circulation and/or people don't like it anymore. Not many people would be willing to pay 10 gold for something that should be 6 gold.

This fash has no special effect, therefore does not warrant a price hike.

Well actually it does warrant a price hike because PW said sob:shedtear...But in all seriousness, I am starting to wonder if the prices are going up a little bit because PW realizes NW can generate up to 10-20m for even an average geared player. Mini coin sink ?

LOLWHUT? I havent logged in yet I was so excited to see the news-

Now Im seriously second guessing whether I want it or not .-.

Oh I hate I cant even log on to slap sense into my poor wifey, the addict is going to fall for that =(. Then she needs to dye it, sigh. Then again I suppose it`s better she uses her money on fashion instead of gear, already scaring this poor kitty =(. It`s like you watch what you say or you get slapped and 1shot afterwards to make sure you got the message <.<.

Guaranteed this person doesn't buy fashion. And also guaranteed if something they bought regularly took a 40% price hike for absolutely no reason, they'd be QQ'ing the forums. Ingame 4$ works out to around 6.5m depending on server. It's a big chunk to overpay considering the fashion doesn't have anything special to justify the price.

Actually, topping 6$ with 4$ into 10$ is actually 4$/6$ * 100% = 66.7% increase in price, which is disgusting by any standards.

Nalvaes - Raging Tide

It counts as both top and bottom, guess that's why it's 10 gold...Still kinda rediculous since most other dresses are only 5-6 gold (even the recent buyable ones)

I'll just stick to my Debuante dress b:cute

Esnemyl - Dreamweaver

Hmm, I can agree, if this dresses price was about 4 gold cheaper, I would buy it.
Too expensive Devs, b:surrender Don't do it again if you decide to put new boutique fash in at that kind of price.

The first thing I said to my faction when I logged on was "why the hell is the new top 10 gold? Its the same price as the Sapphire dress for WHAT reason exactly?"

I still got one though. Since I'm done making my n2 set I had a surplus of coins from Sunday's NW so I re-engraved my rings and got the Peach Blossom dress. Its the only piece of the new outfit I like.

I got really lucky and it was Amethyst purple to match my eyes. So pretty b:cute

Companies will charge what the market will bear. So it remains to be seen what becomes of
future pricing on new fashion in the boutique.

I can imagine a scenario in which they withheld new boutique fashion for such a long time,
so that when a new piece DID come out, ppl would be more willing to pay more for it, just
to have something new. Just a theory, of course.

But I do predict that fairly soon, we'll see this new fash ON SALE for 6 gold, and people
will jump on it with a psychological feeling of "getting a bargain."

Bottom line is this--if PWI is thriving as it is according to those who envision it going
on for years to come, then what PWI is currently doing is very successful and they are
not going to change it. I personally take the opposite tack, and think PWI is squeezing
out every bit of revenue they can from a game nearing the end of its shelflife.

Complaincomplaincomplaincomplain < Is that all th-
in all seriousness it is much more expensive than the other sets, but well... it makes alot of sense using their profitmindset, really.
If they started having fashion weeks again, and all of the new fashions were more expensive than the old ones, what do you all think would happen~, would people end up just accepting it and buying the fashion they liked anyway or would they do some sort of ridiculous fashion revolt o_O Doesn't seem like something fashion-addicts would do.

why do PWI put prices up when they are basically begging people to go on their home page to 'like' them in an effort to hope that people will download their game, even though they raise prices on 'NEW ITEMS' when in fact, they won't be new for long & people won't pay for the items.

Just sheer desperation comes to mind

if they want more ppl to play this game, why dont they just pay popular gaming review tv shows to review their game? this would surely bring a lot of new ppl in and this i think is the most effective way, though it might cost a lot of money, but hopefully its gnna pay for itself

Its wrong, I know it, you know, we all know it. But enough people are buying zen so PWE is happy and the the world keeps turning. In other words nothing changes or is gonna change. Dont be surprised if this is the new price for new fash. Same old complaints as it was two years ago just a different item. Has anything changed since then, Nope. I doubt this company with miraculously change its colours anytime soon.

Reliea - Sanctuary

True, I wanted it til I saw it was 10 gold. I understand that dresses are more expensive because they're both shirt and pants, but basing it on what other dresses cost, it should be more comparable in price. I understand it's new, but if this was supposed to be its permanent price, it might have made more sense to put it in fresh on a sale (20-30% off).
Even before I realized that the Saph dress was just as expensive, but comes with a new dance.
Fash is a nice, but it doesn't enhance my game play; some games give bonus stats for wearing fash.
I do occasionally buy sets that I think are pretty, but they're usually on sale or what I would consider a more reasonable price.
I haven't even see it on a char yet, nor even in a catshop, and if the catshop merchants don't think it's worth buying than it definitely isn't. These merchants are pretty savvy when it comes to what to get from the boutique.

It's nice that they're finally putting new fash in the Boutique instead of packs, which is what people wanted, but jacking up the price on new pretty things won't make more people buy them.

PixelRomance - Dreamweaver

Well I am somewhat of a fash-a-holic, I have tons of it and mostly black and white. I wouldn't have minded paying the 10 gold for the dress if I had really really liked it. But I didn't particuarly like the design, and therefore would not have even dropped 5 gold on it. I prefer pants for my fash anyway since dresses look kinda odd on seekers in my opinion. They sorda poof out cos of how the seeker stands. You know how some fash looks good on one class and sucks on another...well this one just didn't work for my seeker. Ijs PWI bring out some jeans for girls! You got jeans for the dudes but all we got is leather pants dyed blue. Come on give us some sexy jeans! They would look so hot on seekers. :P

Enthana - Heavens Tear

This was indeed a very big disappointment =.= Personally I'm not a huge fan of the dress but seriously 10 gold!? I was already mad for all latest fash coming from packs and now this ridiculous price. I really hope this isn't the new price for future fash too.
I remember when for example the cougar dress came out and almost every female in HT server was running around with it the first week, but after awhile people got tired of it and u could sea tons of em for cheap prices in ah. But with a price of 10 gold i doubt even half as many going to "impulse buy it" just because its new and shiny. So I'm wondering if this really brings more money into pwe or actually less..

Yuna_Sama - Heavens Tear

This makes me sad... I was really hoping they put that price by accident to begin with... Guess I'll need to farm even longer to be able to get the Peach Blossom Fash... For as far farming is even possible aside from BH100 rewards nowedays... b:sad

It's a freaking fashion dress for 10 gold.

Deal with it just like you dealt with the past years what PWI created.

20 bucks for the whole set? lol yea ok. I can buy a nice dress for that price irl. Someone forgot that these aren't real or useful in anyway. No one, unless they can blow away money, will buy this. This is one of those will farm only items.b:chuckle

CSers, you're all so adorable the way you guys actually keep paying for this ****.

Thanks though, let's me keep playing the game for free I guess.

You have to admire the silence of our CM on this subject.

Hey CM! Is it not part of your job to come up here and tell us why the fashion is set for sale at such a ridiculous high price?

Lesthar - Heavens Tear

*Looks at the boutique prices*

10 gold fashion twice in a row? That is kinda funny and not in the good sense.

I am beginning to suspect that the guys of the PWE marketing department got harshly hit on the fingers with a ruler (by PWE China probably) for not making enough money last year (are they still dreaming the game is that popular? They made all of the newbies/potentially new customers flee, after all).

Is it because R9 and packs not giving enough income that these crazy prices have been fixed?
I doubt so, given the recent red spam in world chat (Hey Duke, will you shut up for a bit, please?).

Not a very good marketing ploy... Lower prices would make more people buy the fashion pieces (until a point). It's a basic rule of such a field.

Oh well, I am glad I am neither a cash shopper, nor one that enjoys spending coins on the latest fashion pieces. I just feel a bit sad for everyone that is ready to fork out part of his/her earnings on the game, then gets stopped in his/her tracks by unbelievably stupidly high price tags. *shrugs* b:surrender
