This is the cash shop adjustement?

if you don't want to play, don't make stupid comments to those that enjoy it.

and in case you are too stupid to notice, there is not requirement to buy anything in the game with real money. If you are good at making in game money you can buy anything you want that way too.

Then again, you would have had to play the game for more than 5mins to find this out as well

seregil, what Sanguinati is getting at is it's only been 2 weeks since open beta started, we were complaining about the cash shop prices during CLOSED beta, and they basically slapped our faces at the abosulte joke they called a price drop. In just 5-6 days, a thread on the topic is nearing 60 pages of people telling the company that the shop items are too much money here, at yet what do we get, a 2 week sale on charms, and how much off? 40%, that's STILL overpriced. In 3 days a 'petition' I made got 210 signatures of people who WANTED to pay their money to support the game, but wouldn't because of these prices. We all had hopes for this game, we wanted it to succeed, but the laughable customer service, as well as the inflated prices (they use "US makez more moneyz so 2.5X the amount of the other english server on an INTERNATIONAL [which under disbelief by some, was indeed HIGHLY stressed]) has made them lose tons of players already.

There will always be a few here that will play cause to them it's worth it. But for those of us who normally couldn't afford to play a pay to play game, wanting to shell out what few precious dollars we have on this game to have unique characters/easier time playing to keep the servers running keep getting shafted. We are now in four groups of people who are here.

1: People who play PWI and will stay here until the end.
2: People who have who played PW-MY-EN who hoped to move here, only returning to that version
3: People who played either PWI or MY-EN and now are waiting for PW-MS because they promise reasonable prices
4: People who played any version of PW, only to be so badly disappointed by all versions they've tried that they are moving on to another game entirely.

Myself I haven't played sinced the lvling contest, not because I feel cheated over crappy drop quest drop rates, but because A: I'm burnt out on the game, B: The cash shop is unreasonable to me, and C: I'm in a closed beta test for another game.

San, just remember one thing, to some people these prices are reasonable, and we don't understand why it is that they are reasonable to them. However, I understand, I've sat here, checking the forums, waiting for the mods/admins to give us a sign of another step in the right direction with this game. I've defended them a couple times, I've tried to keep a "no sides" policy on all my posts, to keep things good for the community, however this sale has driven me away from playing the game on these servers, my friend who just started is ticked because she doesn't understand why I can't play this version anymore, but when MS comes out to open beta, I'll probably move there, if the game I'm beta testing doesn't absorb me, cause it has promise.

marccc, you are right, people who DON'T buy charms are at a serious disadvantage in pvp against those who are, since pots are disabled during duels at least (dunno about other PVP events as I never got higher than 30)

I have bought cash shop items. I do think the prices are moderately reasonable. Does that make me a ****? No.

Why?

Because $50 are a measy 34 euro. A 15 gold mount is what? 13 Euro at best.

Since I have a full time job spending 13 euro on a mount is neither high nore unustified.

I do realise that not everyone here uses euro and in some countries like Australia and the USA the cash shop prices are unreasonably high. I am merely trying to explain why there IS paying customers because the cash shop - due to the weak dollar - is not unreasonably priced for EVERYONE playing the game.

Europeans pay less for cash shop items due to their currrency. Please do not call us ******* for buying cash shop items when they are priced reasonably for us.

I agree with the above, and its also why I have no problem buying my charms and a few pieces of clothes. I will be getting a wing when (if) i hit 50.

The money to me is not a huge issue, I certainly CAN afford it., but being in New Zealand, $50USD currently translate to $80NZD, and the credit card does have a 10% foreign exchange charge on it. this basically means that while I am willing to spend some money I simply do not see the items worth what it would cost me.

I don't tend to spend on impulses (lol earning your own keep teaches you that i guess), so i have a set amount each month on game, this means even if the price is lowered I probably won't be spending much more.. but that it does mean, is that I would be more likely to play here. If i find that after level 50 my set budget no longer give me a good deal I will probably leave :O

You know, it's funny how ppl saying they can afford it. Lets wait a couple of month so every "i can pay" ppl hit 60+ or 70+. Then we'll see how much can afford 2+ silver hieros a day + miji scrolls.

Well there is affording and AFFORDING, i mean sure i can go around spending 200, 300 a month, but that would be stupid. And like i said, if it ends up going over the amount im willing to spend i will just leave

Isn't this exactly the reason so many people love MY's CS prices? Due to the exchange rate?

I don't understand why some people are berating others that use the cash shop. It's their business what they spend their money on. Most people have bugeted entertainment costs, whether it's a movie, concerts, going out to eat, or computer games. You budget what you can afford.

This is run by a "for profit" company, not a non profit organization. Basic pricing, charge what people are willing to pay. I'm sure the powers that be are indeed being briefed regularly about the amount of money being made in each cash shop and will adjust accordingly. If the prices do not come down, then the company must be satified with the activity in the cash shop.

I'm pretty sure the sale proves they aren't satisfied, probably hoping for a mass rush to pay all their salaries for the end of the month.

The sale proves absolutely and utterly nothing. MapleStory, Flyff and practially any other game with a cash shop has sales with reduced prices every now and then. Does that mean those games are not satisfied with sales? Hell no, they've got a large amount of customers.

This is what I dont get to the people bashing those who think the prices are to high, now I understand defending yourself if insulted but really why bash those who think the prices are too high?

if your happy with the cash shop prices why do you feel the need to bash those who arent? If people are complaining about getting the prices lowered and they do actually lower the price it still all works out better for you as well as you will pay even less. If they dont lower the price oh well you dont mind paying them as they are anyway. So why try to put those down?

Its like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Even if you dont agree, the end result if changed would still help you as well. Geez people think......

Its like going to buy a BMW and the salesperson going that will be $75,000, you like BMWs so you dont mind paying that price, customer 2 walks in and says man thats way to high! The sales person says you know what your right lets sell them for $25,000 instead. Are you really going to complain that your getting a $75,000 car for $25,000 even if you were willing to pay the $75,000 in the first place?

I mean come on its no work for you. Sit back buy your Zen and hush. If the rest of the people result change and get the prices lowered then enjoy the benefits of it, without you having to do any work.. Once again Think People Think!

Disappointing. Cheaper prices on charms is a great thing but everything else is still grossly overpriced! 10 dollars for a single fashion shirt is NOT acceptable. I did buy a full camo set, an upgraded raptor as well as the top flying device and some charms but that's it. That's what I consider essential to fully experience Perfect World. All in all, I paid about 100$ in two weeks and from now on, no more major spending.

Sure, I woud LOVE to be wearing the latest in fashion style but I no longer want to waste 10 dollars for a single shirt. The few golds I have left will be burned this week, on charms because they're cheaper for now.

As far as alternatives go, I have no clue of their prices, purposes or anything about them for that matter. I will stay on PWE for now because I have a great ping but my spendings will be reduced to practically nothing.

I don't remember seeing such a vehement attack on cash shop prices by Malaysians when if you look at it through the eyes of a Malaysian player the prices were more absurd there. Yet here we are complaining away. You can buy the stuff with ingame gold. The Cash shop is NOT mandatory. I know even though i do use the cash shop i could gather up a good 200k a day to buy 1 charm (before price was dropped).

Why are people looking for things to be handed to them? Because i am sure you all want people to be walking around with +12 gear and all black fashions. And people killing each other over zhen spots thatll be a blast. Fact is if you lower the prices of CS too much the game will die faster. Whether you believe it or not think about it.
