wolfyde Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Last week; 800CC, and this week they're 1000CC. Don't know what the reasoning behind this is, but raising a price on a holiday item in this short timeframe seems like pretty poor marketing. If I was considering buying them, but suddenly found them to be 25% more expensive, I surely would not go ahead with the purchase.

Woooooooow, and I was actually gonna buy those, too, because the ones at the vendor don't get addded to collections. Screw you, Bioware, and particularly whoever is in charge of the cartel market. The nickel-and-diming is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't expect sales to last indefinitely... being on sale during its introductory week makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wasn't. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/swtor-cm-weekly-sales-dec-15-22.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose prices are subject to change, like most things, but I'd agree it seems kinda lame that these were bumped up significantly and in very short order.

ScarletBlaze Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 More than likely the price was changed as it became a popular item, which doesn't excuse the price, but might be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing_Shines Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You don't raise the price of a holiday themed item that you just released DURING CHRISTMAS, unless you're a troll. I was tempted to buy a set, but now you've guaranteed I won't. Greedy fools. You have essentially zero money invested in the item (it just has the life day orb added in the floating by your shoulder slot on a pre-existing gear set) and no production costs since it ISN'T REAL. If the price was left at the more reasonable 800 cc, you would have made more money in the long run. Let me guess, Corporate Commander suggested this change, didn't he? Merry Christmas to you, too.
