some of our famous complainers will undoubtedly see this take over pvp and muo as the new reason we dont have everything already,

I don't believe MUO is a valid concern anymore. Scroll down to the second article.

[/ QUOTE ]yeah i know i was referring to how certain people have these elaborate conspiracy theories about things that are taking away from the game. muo and pvp were old favorites.
I don't mind the little pay for content packs, but they do need to take a look at SOE and how they do it for EQ2.
They give out an entire dungeon of content with full itemization, quests, mobs and so for for about $8 with each content pack.

I just wish they added more stuff for the males. . . but hey thats just me.

Yeah, I went through the females' costumes... variants on at least 3 existing costumes plus the wedding dress plus the tux.... And guys get....the tux.
[/ QUOTE ]
I think in future they should try to ensure that both genders get a lot of stuff, as some people will be buying blind since they may not see all the costumes within.
And while it's on my mind, suprised there is no drinking champagne or toast emote.

Their saving that for the alcholhol pack. Either that or they don't want to add alcholhol use to their ESRB lable.

I am also concerned that there is no irradiated "me" emote.
To the thread in general, it's certain NCSoft is watching this pack very closely. As a fanboy who has bought every version they've released so far, I didn't see a price-to-content ratio I liked, so I took my dollars and opted out. I know some people like it, and that's fine. I know others are opposed to it, and they're entitled to that as well. But I can't automatically knock those that decry it just because I'm a fanboy.
It'll be interesting to see how the trend plays out.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I skipped from page 12 to 22, so this may have been said. But I didn't see it, and it's late and I'm tired.
Last Thursday after the wedding event, Dark Watcher was on the Cape (Virtue's finest radio station) and this question came up. His answer was basically that the wedding dress and lace patterns were thought to be a 'niche' item whose adopters would be so few as to render it a bad use of Dev resources. They liked the idea and knew there were people out there WANTING wedding dresses and such, and so it became a pay item; those who want it badly enough to spend money subsidize a product for themselves.
Given that logic, and assuming it holds for future add-ons, I don't really understand why so many people are having major episodes over it. I don't think it's worth $10, necessarily. But there are a lot of people glad to have it, and DW pretty much said that this stuff would NEVER have happened as part of an Issue or .5 BECAUSE it was perceived as limited-use.
Not going to pay for costume pieces. Just not going to do it.
10 dollars for costumes and silly emotes?
No thanks. But I am very happy this stuff was not given as a vet reward.......I'd rather have the optional respec.
wedding pack = lame (my own opinion)
YMMV

They are clearly testing this to see what the response is, my VALID response if hell no. Don't defend mediocrity! It doesn't help you or the game. If this pack had something worth the price that would be one thing - this is a costume and three emotes.
All I said was I won't be buying it and IF this becomes a trend, I won't continue to subscribe as I have done for 3+ years. I'm neither a whiner or a hater. My feelings are just as valid as yours. Of course, if you are 12 you won't understand that, if you're a day over 12 get over yourself.
[/ QUOTE ]
But see my feelings that the pack is cool and that I'm happy to buy it is just as valid.
See I liked and I bought it and I likely would buy more and think they where cool. This is just as valid of an emotional reaction.
Do I think it would have been better priced at $5.00? Yes, but $9.99 wasn't out of my reach for something I don't mind buying.

I agree that you view is valid. The only reason I am posting an argument is because I think that if it does continue then free updates will suffer and the pay-per-pack will excalate in what they have.
[/ QUOTE ]its a difficult argument to make though, you can always speculate that they held content off to make it pay per, but you cant prove it, so its really how you feel about the devs wether you beleive that. some of our famous complainers will undoubtedly see this take over pvp and muo as the new reason we dont have everything already, but i just dont see that, it dosent fit the behavior i have seen from the devs. ill conceed that if it really gets that bad, and we cease getting free costumes and have new costume packs every month or so, then i start drawing the line.
