Will there be a Black Friday - Monday sale?

 

If so, my wish is for all Cartel items in the games history be listed on the Market at half price.

As well as being able to open up sets or items in collections for half price.

 

That would cause a big influx of cash for Bioware in one weekend. I can imagine many whales and normal players buying credits to take advantage of the deals.

 

Remember Bioware, you’ll get more money on volume sales than just relying on normal pricing to get the whales. It may even fix some of the inflation on the GTN

 

Lastly. You should advertise it 2-3 weeks in advance on other social media like reddit, twitter and Facebook? This will bring people back to the game and build anticipation and excitement.

I wouldn't get your hopes up for more than the traditional collections unlock sale.

 

Oh I think they will do a CM sale as well. It won't be as impressive this year after a year of rotating direct sales of items and much less emphasis on anything in terms of packs/crates

 

Keep in mind though.. it likely won't be what Totem wants.. where every item ever offered is listed and put on sale. They have NEVER done that. And given they have rolling direct sales all the time now days, all a player has to do is be a bit patient and keep an eye in particular on the Flash Sales... rather then expecting/insisting on a "Black Friday" sale.

 

Frankly things like Black Friday sales is a sales gimmick by brick and mortar merchants (and some internet merchants) to push sales (often marking up, before marking down) with limited time offers and limited supplies. It is done to generate holiday sales surges to fluff up the holiday revenue reporting. Consumers are getting wise to the charade and are doing less and less binge buying during these essentially fake sales windows. I think even my sister-in-law (true shopaholic on holiday sales) finally got it last year when she was bragging about what a great deal she got on some items and I pointed out to her that two of the more expensive items were in fact on sale in the same store a week later for less then the Black Friday sales price.
