The market is the market - if it wasn't selling for $50, it wouldn't be $50. Companies get away with what we allow them to, nothing more.

The pricing in general has become fairly classless. Love the game and appreciate the work that goes into it but not offering a deal for older players who spent an already large sum of crowns on the assistants is fairly insulting.

You could’ve saved your crowns and waited

I wish I could just get a skin for the NPCs I already own but w/e, I’ve been using them for years and have no regrets. While I get your point, that’s a bit like complaining about your laptop because one you like better comes out a couple years later.

Or like complaining because you saw a hot girl/guy but can’t have him/her because you already got in a relationship.

Live with your decisions and try not to whine.

5,000 crowns is right in line with the other banker / merchant, so I get the price point.

However, because I already have the merchant and banker it makes ZERO sense to pay 5,000 crowns AGAIN. Now if they were fully capable assistants ( repairing, guild banking/selling ) I could almost justify it - but for just a reskin of the same old 50% capable assistant? No thank you.

It’s 5000 crowns? Which is like £35

Absolutely ridiculous amount lol, but so is pretty much everything in the crown store which is why I'm not buying any.

Seems like a reasonable understandable price to me, since it's an un-necessary 'convenience' feature. The more actually 'required' something is, the less it should cost. But lazy luxuries like the banker & merchant? Sure, go nuts. /shrug
- for the record, I'd never buy one. I don't need them.


("Convenience" is frequently a high-cost thing. Take soda for instance - a can of soda in your hotel-room minibar costs $4+, a can of soda in the every-few-floors soda machine that you have to walk to costs $2, a can of soda from a convenience store that you had to leave the hotel & go down the block to costs $1, and a can of soda that you went to a distributor & bought by the case costs $0.25)

Firstly, I disagree with the premise - I think things should cost a reasonable amount, whether they are for convenience, or not.

A lot of people avoid using the minibar.

£70 is a lot of money for a banker and a merchant.

Some people pay it, as they simply couldn't face playing a game like this without them.

Doesn't mean it's OK, or that more people wouldn't buy them if they were half the price.

But, more to the point, they're not even a convenience for those who already have the merchant and banker.

They're just skins.

You can just use gold and but the crowns off of someone and pay 0$. Up to you.

Im not trying to be rude but since the crown store items are always sold via crowns, i dont understand the confusion.

The confusion was it was in the middle of the night, lack of sleep and I read it wrong.

They don't charge high prices for the money.

They charge high prices to test us to see how devoted we are to the game.

Question is the Alfiq up all the time like pets or are they dismissed on porting or death like the standard banker?

As they are pet sized they should stay up all the time like pets.

Just wait for discounts. I bought my banker and merchant (the old ones) at 50% price.
