92$ Australian for a skin pack

Like i want to give you guys money but that's way to over priced, and you guys are not USA based so why the USA pricing and why that much.
That's a AAA FULL GAME for a skin pack like that's offensive pricing.

Because it's basically a F2P game so stuff is rather expensive, do you want to support GGG or not? you can always buy stuff in the store too. Not sure what's the issue tbh...if it's too expensive...don't buy or buy less expensive stuff.

You are not paying for the Skin pack. You are basically paying for the game. But not only for you. If you are buying such a skin pack, then that makes you a whale. Which means you are paying the game for free 2 play players as well. You can choose not to purchase it, or you can purchase something else. Stash tabs are rather inexpensive and they are pretty useful. And there are some really good looking uniques in the game, so the rather inexpensive skin transfer is actually a better deal than a skin pack honestly.

Are you talking about the top tier support pack or something else?

I mean supporter packages start at $30...

Since you mention $92 Australian... my best guess is you mean a top support pack. Is there something specific you want in one of them?

Anyway... the way I look at support packs is they also include points. So a $90 pack comes with 900 points and 900 points would cost you guess how much? Oh right $90. So all the other stuff is "free" essentially if you look at it that way.

Unless you don't want anything you get with points like stash tabs. I buy packs instead of points to get the extras. Then I use the points from packs to get even more things. I started with a basic EA pack, but really enjoyed the game and have upgraded from there to support the company.

If something is too expensive from your perspective then spend accordingly. Only you know how you feel about that or what you can afford.

As to why the prices show up as USD outside of the US.. I don't know unless you have to click something on the website to set your location. I'm in the US so I expect to see USD.

Getting bent over down under!!

There's other things in IRL that are similar to this. Look at luxury bags for example. If you are surprised by this, be ready for a rude awakening in IRL

It might be expensive, but so is producing 2 games, each with massive content updates every 4 months. PoE is completely F2P. There are no ads, no subscriptions. MTX is the only form of revenue they receive for both games.

For a lifetime of free content, you really only need to spend $30-$50 to acquire enough premium tabs to work with comfortably. More if you spend a significant amount of time in the game.

If your talking about supporter packs your paying less for the amount of MTX in those packs then you would individual Mtx plus you get the value of the pack In points to spend on other things, such as tabs, or other cosmetics.

Honestly seems like an issue of you don't understand the logic of supporting this type of game or the value of the packs themselves, because buying a supporter pack for $30/60/90 and getting the Mtx plus points is more than you will get from almost any live service game.

Not to mention I've got 1300 hours in this game so spending $100 is actually still a good value. If you play league after league for hundreds of hours that's a lot more value than AAA+ release.

I'm between the last league and now I've spent hundreds on AAA games and literally none of them have had 100 hours of content or content worth playing for close to that length.

But you don't have to buy supporter packs, but they aren't "overpriced"

He's right. The prices in AUD are way too high, and it stops a lot of people I know, including myself, from buying packs from GGG. Simply converting the currency works out extremely badly for Oceanic players, and it's not even slightly worth the price. Even if you can afford it with ease, and the purchase is not necessary, that's no excuse for it just being a really poor deal for a lot of countries. The Cruel Trarthan Executioner Supporter Pack, for example, is $60.00 USD, which converts in the shop to A$98.05, and the Merciless Trarthan Executioner Supporter Pack is US$90.00 or A$147.07. Not having regional pricing means a lot of people in places like Aus will just never buy anything more than enough for stash tabs at most.

the pack also have points to spend on the mtx shop. So it is not "skin-only". You can buy a lot of merchant tab to somehow pay to win flipper?



Also, pack are not mandatory
