I really hope CCP notices all the outrage about the pricing and fixes it before release or there will be trouble down the road. These prices hurt everyone. They hurt buyers who have to foot the bill, sellers who won't be able to get a decent price for their SP due to lack of demand, CCP who won't sell nearly as many extractors, and the people who say the mechanic shouldn't exist because it still will. If these prices don't change I predict an initial surge of people trying to sell useless SP and others buying it. But it won't take long for the buyers to run low and force the price down till the SP itself is only valued at 15-25% of what it cost to train. That will screw over the sellers, which will obviously make them unhappy, while still keeping the total price far above what the SP costs to train, significantly limiting buyers and making them unhappy too. Even worse, once the extractors have been launched with a certain price it can't really be lowered without offending everyone who bought any up to that point.
I propose changing the pricing to 120 individually, 450 for 4, 900 for 9, and 3500 for 35 or 36. That would eliminate most of the rage over the price as well as the rage over the "hotdog bun" mismatch. It would allow buyers to pay a reasonable price for injectors while sellers get a reasonable value for their SP and CCP get more revenue after the initial surge because people would actually continue to use the feature. It would also help keep players happy because they won't be seeing a 50-75% tax every time they look at injector prices. The only losers in that situation are the people who don't want the feature to exist.
TL;DR: CCP please reconsider the pricing and change it to about 100 per extractor in packages that align with Aurum packages. And please do it before launch lest people get screwed over and hate you. |

I think that CCP can and should have found other ways to reduce 'game illegal' buying and selling of characters etc.
The same goes for PLEX - can't be bothered to play and earn isk in-game so I will just buy it with real life money - Bah!
For every cash rich new player who can buy skill points to get ahead, I wonder how many cash poor new players will think, 'sod this' and go elsewhere for their gaming fun?
On the other hand, if PLEX and the Character Bazaar didn't exist, how many new players would look at subscription prices or training times, think 'sod this' and go elsewhere for their gaming fun? I know I would have. |
