Its understundable that a game like this needs a lot of money to stay alive, and its ok, putting +10 orb in butique is good for money pulling,everyone knows why it is in butique for 50G, and its understandable too b:chuckle but isnt it time to put it on sale? if not for a whole week at least for a 1 day sale, it would be nice realy :) i know its hard to get new ideas for weekly sales, so i thought il give some b:chuckleb:laugh I know that the comunity ideas isnt good for PWI, we always want, need some cheap or free stuff, and there was time when 1/day sales or promotion items like charms(and yes it was not long time ago i know, but there was like 5-6 items you could get in these sale promotions)was active, probably not a good income for PWI, but it gives players hope that there is still something in PWI to play it :) (o)

    Virtual items aren't a 'good" like we'd think of others goods. They're not tangible. They cost nothing to create. They don't need resources to manufacture... They're infinitely reproducable codes of data that people are willing to pay $20 for. Orbs are worth $20 to many people as long as there is demand.

    They're basically 'starving' us into paying $50 for orbs, which is ridiculous because it'd be much more effective to accept 20% and have people buy them en masse.
    Seven 100+ characters leveled the hard way. Free to play. Mystic, Psychic, and Wizard left to level. b:victory

    It's not ridiculous, it's simple economics. Some people will buy at 50g, which gives them some extra cash -- but the main point is, once they do put it on sale at 25g, everyone will think "ooh, cheap orbs!" and they'll make more money than if they just left it at 25g all the time.

    Ok this is not a Rage or Hater Post ! b:thanks Its just a sugestion for a weekly sale, and rage and hate will not help, the Word of Community suppose to be important for PWI, no matter what everyone says, but only if the comunity knows how to speak nicely b:laugh and yes a lot of things happend in PWI what makes zhen purchese the best option for buying things from butique, but then again noone force us to to spend any real money, the game is Free to Play, it is true that there is nothing much to do after lvl101, im playing only 1 toon, dont want to do same quests over and over again, its bored, some new things for 101+ would help, and the new expansion...well it seems there will be some things to do in it :) but thats future...lets stay at present..and BEG for a +10 sale b:chuckleb:laugh

    Yeah remember the case of that Hamburger weapon in that virtual sandbox interaction called D.I.A.B.L.O III ??
    That was funny as hell :O

    Yeah but the cheer volume of sales at 25g surpass any sales at 50g.

    b:chuckle

    I get that they want to starve us with this orbs at 50g so we all jump like sharks at the sale at 25g stuff but still see more profitable to have a massive volume of clients buying them in a constant stream of income :O

    Wait . what?

    Yes let's PLEASE make gold prices higher. They aren't high enough. Seriously. At least 4 mil each would be good. Let's follow this smart person she knows what to do.

    Ah, but sales attract buyers. Prices that are like that all the time don't attract as much. When people see something half off and they want it, they generally try to buy it before the sale ends.

    Same thing with PWI. More people buy R9 Mats while they're on sale, then when they're not. I mean, if prices were sales price all the time, then would people stop not ask for a 50% off sale then, too?

    They wouldn't because they'd still expect/ask for a sale and for the items to be cheaper.
    On another note, there are some things in the boutique that should have their price lowered permanently.

    I like this post, and you know what? the gold prices are high because YOU, the buyer, are stupid enough to buy it at 2m/gold...because you cannot wait, YOU the buyer will buy it, the seller will make it higher...and YOU the buyer, who is sarcastic with my post, when i only wanted +10 orb sale, YOU will buy it at higher price too, the gold price is actually YOUr fault...YOUr who is sarcastic and will buy gold at any price...i said this is not a rage or hater post, but no...there is always someone to be, how did you said? SMART enough??? dammit, we should have the option to controll are own posts on the forum, it would be much clearer and nicer in here.

    pwi is a game of waiting. I want to +10 my nw ring and my cube neck but i'm willing to wait to pay half the coin price. PWI isn't stupid when it comes to 1 thing, and that is money. They will realize the large influx they will get when they give a 10* sale, so i suspect one in 1-2 weeks. b:pleased
