Can we maka a survey about Glacian

[TheStoic]

If Glacian was offered to you as plat-exclusive pet at 800 platinum, will you purchase it?

Glacian = 800 plat

Yes or No


YES = 6

NO = 7


P.S. Try not to make the experience of plat players cloud your decision, just assume you haven't spent plat opening crates.

[TheStoic]

I'll make the first vote, NO.

Since the arrival of Ripmaw, purchasing 250 plat is too much. We are talking about real money here.

[Jackyll]

1 = YES

Given how much platinum it takes opening chests to obtain Hammerjaw and or Glacian, I'd pay 1000 plat.

[Greencrow]

NO.

[DocDoBig]

NO , 800 plat is a "bit" overpriced.
I'd rather spend it in 50 crates and have some plat left.
Even Mitas the most expensive Pet in PL cost (only) 500 plat (if lucky)

I'm just curious about Mitas, I haven't played PL, you said lucky, what does it mean? opening crates also?

Yeah what Luvaria said above. There are 3 Dragons which you can buy regulary for plat (200) and a Pack of 3 Dragons for 500 plat ,
in that pack you have a chance on Mitas Dragon , so He's ONLY available in this pack and so has practical a gamble effect aswell. LOL

[KillaSkillz]

I would take a plat sale of those pets over the random chance even if it was 800 or 1000 plat to buy them, it doesn't mean I would buy them at that price, but I hate the random chance marketing strategy a whole lot.

If Glacian was offered to you as plat-exclusive pet at 800 platinum, will you purchase it?

Glacian = 800 plat

Yes or No


YES = 1

NO = 4

YESS,
buying for an amount that surely gives is better than chances/gamble.
like the ripmaw, at first no one buys or afraid to buy it but eventualy ic many people use it for pvp.

for those who said NO, does.that mean you like how to get an Arcane pet?800plat is nothing compare to 40k plat(atleast) for opening and gets nothing.

A set price would make it less rare and so: less special

[Seiyen]

YES.

[Theholyangel]

I'd say so-so. If your lucky, you get it soon. If your unlucky like most individuals, you can go through all the plat in the world and never recieve the item you long for.

[Wowsome]

no.

[jk9810]

YOLO. So why not?

[Limsi]

To be honest, I'd say no. Let's exclude the fact that some people gambled heaps of platinum just to get a shot of Hammerjaw, BlackBeard's Nefarious Hooks, and Glacian.

I remember when Hammerjaw first came out and people were complaining about not getting the pet despite of having to spend 1k plus worth of platinum. Various of posts were made regarding this issue: hate posts, petitions to make the egg drop more, and rewards to those who spent a good deal amount of platinum. Then time came wherein Hammerjaw was pretty much common around the game, almost a handful had the pet and some owners of the pet argued that the drop rate should be lowered. The reason? Exclusivity of the egg was at stake.

If STS would value these arcane pets (present and upcoming pets) to a certain amount, players would pretty much grab the deal and get their hands on arguably the best type of rarity of these pets. Then time will come wherein people would be running around kraag with these bunch of babies and complain as to why there seems to be many of other players who have the same pet as theirs.

Read Sam's post regarding the issue of Hammerjaw during the time when some players were displeased on the gambling system of opening crates:

I totally understand where you are coming from. There was a time when I really wanted a Spectral Tiger for my WoW character (several years ago). The only way you could get it was as a rare card included in the WoW trading card game packs. I didn't even play the WoW trading card game, but man my undead priest would look _sweet_ on one, ya know? A friend convinced me that I'd be sure to get one if I went in with him and bought $100 of cards with him ($200 total). So, off I went to the game store and dropped the $100. After much opening of packs, I was not rewarded with a Spectral Tiger

Collectible Cards Games have rare chase items as pretty standard practice. I guess Baseball cards coined it first, but really, Hammerjaw is the same thing. We hope you get some value out of everything else you get out of the Crates - the armor has unique looks, the stats on the Rifle, Sword 'n Shield and Bow are the best you can get of those items, for example.

IMHO, I really do agree that not all can be entitled with the best things in life, there will always be this one lucky guy who gets the best during his first attempt, and another guy who gets nothing despite spending and putting too much at stake.

A set price would make it less rare and so: less special

True enough!

[ahiung27]

no

me bought 89 usd plat and no got anything

cry

[Darko]

Yes I would, it would still be rare as you can see from this post not everyobe would buy it..id even up it to 1000...higher price less people will have it, attach an achievment to it so hardcore players buy it...im one of those types, no prixe is to high for me...I just want to make sure I get what I pay for...crates don't get wgat u pay for...items are so liquidated ....and not valuable, and have broke the economy of al

[Zuzeq]

I'd have to "think" about it if it was 300Plat. So...no.

[TheStoic]

Limsyoker and Docdocbig are talking about the "intangible" aspect of having a Glacian, the higher the rarity, the more special it becomes. That sense of felling that you stand out among your peers. This is what drives people to open crates.

Another aspect, that we also like to look at is, if Glacian proves to be very useful, say on pvp, and giving it a specific price tag, would mean that definitely you'll get the chance to acquire the pet at a later time that will give you an edge at pvp. If I have excess plat, and I'm serious on playing pvp, I would definitely save money to buy plat, then buy Glacian.
