Discussion: Featured Items at the Paragon Market - 4/24/12

Iunno...

Alot of this stuff I dont like. I'm glad that the storages FINALLY went on sale, but i feel like they marked that one in the lesser category (discount wise) knowing how many people wanted it so they profit more. I am more than a little disappointed.

Im indifferent to purples being on the market, to be frank, I dont care. the folks that still want purples that would not want to spend real money for them will still to purchasing them in game on the black market. People like me that dont care one way or the other and just want a set just to have, I'd probably buy it from the PM, not the BM. For those that buy inf and what not fall into both of these crowds.

Is it cheaper to buy inf outside the game than it is paying for the market? This is where Paragon needs to start thinking from when putting things like purples on the market.

Also the xp boosters are insanely stupidly high even with discounts. I for one will not be buying any of those. I'd rather pay for the super packs (due to variety of rewards) which I am pretty pissed about atm anyway. I have bought over 4, maybe 5 of those packs and have yet to get the only vanity pet I wanted, "The Black Wolf." So out of 96-120 chances to get the damn thing and still have not received it... Needless to say I am pretty upset about this, so I am pretty much done with buying that pack altogether.

are the emotes new?

Question for a friend who's on the basic Free account.

The VIP starter kit, can that be applied to a Free account to upgrade it, or is it just a fresh new account? They've been on Free for a few weeks, got to about lvl 20 or so and are looking at going VIP, this would be a good entry for them to do so.

Found a small bug with the items,
I went to purchase the extra 10 slots for enhancments,have the points but it will not let me purchase. I purchased a extra 10 slots months ago, and we can get up to 2 extra rows.
but it seems to think you can ONLY purchase this if you have not purchased any before.

Offer a BASE Salvage Inventory Increase +10 (per bin) for 400 PP and I'll jump right on it!

So... they give us 900 Paragon Points if we create a Praetorian?

It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets

... Hit it ...

dear everyone whining about how they're just trying to "make money":

Do you do this every time you go out to eat?

"OH MY GOD, look they TOTALLY want me to buy that appetizer with my meal just to make money! Why is that steak TWENTY DOLLARS when I get get a hamburger for FIVE?!? How come this soda is two bucks when I can get water for free?!?"


It's a store.
Making money is its raison d'être.
This shouldn't be a confounding surprise to anyone.

Did a bunch of the forum population come of age in Soviet Russia or something?



ps:
I'm totally hitting that storage sale....

As a casual friendly game, putting purples on the market makes sense, as not everyone has the time to dedicate to getting the Inf for purples in game, or waiting for them to drop.

And again, it comes down to time vs convenience. Spending time is 'free', you just have to wait for either the RNG to smile on you (tweaked by simple stuff like running X8 or ITF runs, etc) or you earn enough capital to just buy them via auction.

To those that don't want to spend time, as it may be subjectively more valuable to them, they have the option to drop real cash, which may be less valuable than time.

Can we get some costume slots on sale next week? Knock 'em down to 400 points per slot and I'd be forever grateful.

ok figured out the problem on the featured page is the 1 of 2 enhancment slots ,I had to go deeper to buy the 2 of 2. bought and got.
