    Default Money rich based game?

    I think the game is starting to get to expensive.

    1700 plat = $89.99
    If you turn this into gold which 1000 plat = 1mill gold and then you will have 700 plat left to make it 1.5 mill gold you still wouldnt be able to afford top notch things in the game. Thats just terrible.
    175 plat = $20
    Ripmaw cost 250 and the new fire element pet will to so if you bought 175 plat for $20 you still wouldnt be able to afford it that is crazy $20+ for a pet you cant keep in real life ? My opioin though what yall think ? I think the game is getting to be for rich people!

    I do not think you should be looking at turning real money into gold. If you do that, it is clearly a way to get around the hard part of the game, where you have to farm or merch in order to get gold. Thus you should pay a lot more.

    I wish though, that mythic pets were farmable or available outside of such a high price range, but then STS gotta make profit. Look at the rate expansions and new content is coming out, it's not like they are not working for your money :P And then you don't actually need to use plat to be successful (certainly helps)

    But the issue Genuinous is that you can farm for MONTHS and not get ANYTHING of value, so you lose TONS of gold on pots and feeding your pets so at some point you HAVE to buy some gold even 25k to stay alive and keep farming for something you'll never get imo.

    Developers making this game. Designers making this game. We play, we pay. That's how they feed their family and make money. Enough of whining now. I'd support them if I were you.

    Mystical quit trolling the thread, it is a valid point that the game is monetarily driven to the point that it is out of control.

    Well naw you dont have to use plat to be succesful but imagine players cant get on the lb for ap if they cant get the ach for mythic item and the only way you can get that is using plat or get it to drop out of a elite golden chest which cost a ton of pots and gold to farm for to!!!

    I am not trolling. A thread is made to receive posts, opinions and points of view. Ain't happy about it? Deal with it. You got my point of view, which is the prices are normal. They make money like this and need it. Need it to create more content, to make you play for free and to make what you're whining for. Be responsible and view it as a Designer or Developer.

    Remember, you won't always receive agreements. Don't just give false accusations if the post doesn't apply to your wishes.

    Yeah the game is way too expensive. I spent 50 bucks once for 600 plat and now Im like.. Pfft nurr. Way too much to keep up with their prices. Even at 40% off it still expensive.

    These prices are crazy during a recession..

    Aint we still in a recession in the Us?!?!
    Hell I've always been in a recession, welcome new people. Welcome to livin' in the 'hood/slums/ghetto/barrio/whatever-word-yall-use-these-days. XD

    Seriously though, its over the top lately with these crates & thats part of the reason why lots of my friends left the games.

    LOL! You do not NEED top gear. You do not NEED to be on the LB. You can have a great time without spending any money at all. It is something inside you that wants top gear, that wants to be on the LB. If you have an issue it is with that thing inside that wants to be cool. If being cool is important, spend the money. If you don't want to spend the money, tell your desire to be cool to shut itself off.

    I believe that if they lower the prices for each plats.. more people would pay.. and therefore.. if you do the math, they might actually get more money
    than theyre getting right now..
    because people would be like oh okay only 5 bucks for 100 plats.. theyd keep buying every now and then but when people look at $10 for 75 plats.. it seems overwhelming that
    most people dont even buy..

    TO summarize it all, if they really wanna make money they should lower the price down because MORE people would buy MORE often, I support STS and i understand this is how they make money

    e.g
    $10 for 200 plats = 5 people would buy =$50 they earn yay
    $20 for 175 plats = 1/5 or 2/5 ppl would buy = $20-$40 they earn boo - you get the math

    I agree with both sides.
    MysticalEagle has a point...the employees need money to feed their families, and this is how it works..
    Player To Sts To Employees that help create the game To their families.
    I also agree that the prices are way too high but then again, just don't buy plat?
    Anyways...your money, your choice. Spend it wisely.
    -Skull out.

    This. THIS.

    Remember: The game is FULLY free to play. If you buy platinum, you're aware of it's price, so don't come to complain about it then.
    And no, I ain't trolling. Lmao.

    Making plat more affordable for players might actually be a good idea. Still would be nice to get droppable pets of the same Mythic and Arcane rarity types too.

    Ok, is it me or are you completely stuck on your thought? You simply don't get my point, and want to keep arguing about it. I have nothing else to say here, I gave my opinion to the OP.
