~$20 for a Skill Style is outrageous

Yes, no one is forcing me to buy it. Yes, it's not a case of FOMO where if I don't buy it, it'll disappear for a few months. It's simply there for the foreseeable future (as far as I can tell).

But this is almost as expensive as Staple Houses on the store right now. It's more expensive than most Style Parlor collectibles (which are also character customization, i.e. hair and head markings). It's twice the price of most costumes, and only a few limited-time returning costumes reach that price.

I don't think this is fair, personally. I was really looking forward to getting Summon Winged Twilight, Warrior.

    I want to quickly tack on that I am deeply thankful for the several Skill Styles being made free for us to enjoy across all classes, but it does not balance out charging so much for something so small and simple.

    I've usually been pretty indifferent about crown store prices because yeah, sure, they need to make up the costs of running an MMO. But this is genuinely insane as far as cost goes. $20 for a reskin of a single skill is genuine price gouging to see how much people will cough up for the least amount of effort possible.

    It's a cosmetic, sure, but that doesn't matter. The standard that's being set here is very much "We're going to see just how much we can get out of you before you start complaining, and then go a little bit further." If it were 2,000 for a pack, then that might be different, but we're getting one puny reskin of a single skill, in a single class. In no world should anybody be okay with this.
