Anzel Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 First of all, this is a QUESTION. I am in **no way** suggesting anything. This is not, repeat not a suggestion. This is a QUESTION. There has been a lot of debate recently on, "cash grabs" and "pay to win" and etc. etc. etc. So my question is, why are there no really super expensive items on the CM? Like, where is the mount or armor or color crystal that costs $250, $500, 1,000? I get the whole reputation concept and the RNG/Cartel Pack concept and completionist concept. What about the really expensive CM item concept? Something that you can only get by flat out buying with a ton of CCs? For a company that has been accused of being so greedy I can't believe they missed this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewyYui Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Please don't give them ideas, that'd be terrible. Besides, the item would probably be bugged anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderKeeva Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Please make Cartel Market items more expensive! Great idea, isn't? No. Edited March 13, 2013 by CommanderKeeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stressfire Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I already find it baffling that people dump the money that they do into cartel coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandicus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As they pretty much only have fixed costs associated with producing an item for the CM, they simply seek to maximize revenue. 5 people who buy a $500 item is not as good for them as 500 people who buy a $10 item. Yes, products that have greater value can charge a higher price and still have many customers, but we're speaking purely in terms of a mount, pet, or cosmetic item. Content or p2win style stuff could feasibly have a substantial enough portion of the market willing to pay a higher price to justify an increase(though this would upset a great deal of the player base), but it'd need to be something perceived as having an enormous deal of value to make $100-1000 dollars the revenue maximizing point.

vladunk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Darth Vader's armor set $200 limit 50 per server. I bet it would be gone in 30 min. I wonder how high it could go? Edited March 13, 2013 by vladunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhJedi Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Actually, that ridiculous hat they are offering should run you no less than $250 in cartel packs. And that's for a stupid hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanik Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I already find it baffling that people dump the money that they do into cartel coins. There was an MMO that sold an item for 1000 euros. Its insanely absurd. But it has precedents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrillOG- Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 $250, $500, $1000 for a god damn cartel market item? Where do you work? Where do you live? What gives you these ideas? I thought you were gonna say 30-$50 items... but that is absolutely ridiculous. This has got to be a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzel Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 $250, $500, $1000 for a gosh darn cartel market item? Where do you work? Where do you live? What gives you these ideas? I thought you were gonna say 30-$50 items... but that is absolutely ridiculous. This has got to be a troll. LOL, well you could feasably pay just as much in CCs for certain items. Just a bad run of the RNG and you could end up spending that much... maybe. Hey, I'm not saying I would buy a bunch of these. Maybe a cool mount or a really epic set of armor. But yeah. It's the same principle... keep stuff rare by <insert concept> here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
