2)People actually buy this stuff sufficiently for these prices. Which...if that's the case then that's just sad.
So, which one is it?;)
How other people spend their money is not for you to insult. Yea?
O_o where did you find an insult in my post? Genuinely perplexed.
People buying stuff as such a price is sad, seems an insult to me1 -

✭Something to add, rarity and scarcity make things feel much better for most people. In the case f digital, infinitely duplicatable, items the only way to do it is via price. There are cheap books for everyone and expensive books for those that want the uniqueness.0 -

...are you serious?
Idc about your - or anyone else's - money but I do care for the game and it is sad. Because it means Zenimax has no reason to change their current business model which is largely revolving around fast greedy cash grab rather than long term quality content. SotH cost how much, I forget...1.5k crowns I think? Or was it 2.5k? Let's assume new dlc will be 2.5k crowns even, that's 2.5 1k crown books, or less than 1 book, 1 Coldharbour fancy thing and 1 Soulshriven. Why'd Zenimax bother spending time and resources properly testing and refining a 2.5k crowns piece of content when literally 30 seconds of work copy pasting some of the already existing objects yields more crowns?
Feeding them insane amounts of money for cosmetic objects further shifts priority from actual content quality control to stamping more cosmetic objects at even more ridiculous prices and it can only get worse. Now sure someone might just play for the rp and fluff aspect of the game and have enough money to blow on it and then it's fine for them - it's just not fine for me and many others.
Also, if me voicing my concerns regarding the game we both are playing is insulting for you then sorry but not sorry.7 -

Please don't take this as me insulting you, but "sad" can also mean "pathetic". As in, you're calling people pathetic for buying them. If you meant that it's disheartening, then I see where the confusion might come in between the other poster and yourself...
And again, the prices on PTS are slapped on, they're not final. The original Homestead PTS had the standardized prices too - Recremen's "400 crowns for a cup" post comes to mind - and that didn't reflect the pricing on Live, like how all the CS items are one crown. These more than likely won't be the actual prices on Live, but if they are, then yes, we have an issue. But wait to see what happens on Live.1 -

Yeah, I really hate that tactic as well. Artificial scarcity at its "finest." It smacks of contempt for customers.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!0 -

✭Online contempt for the 'poor' or cheap players. Artificial scarcity is the only way to have any bit of uniqueness that most players love. RPers more than any should understand a desire for uniqueness1
