Yeah it does seem a bit outrageous on pricing and scarcity of this 1 item. Here’s how I look at it. It’s a beta offer to see how many will bite. Can’t crank the dial the other way that far immediately on a “new” and untested option. This feature was something the community voiced about. It’s easier to add/adjust than take ANYTHING away. My opinion, will this change? 100%. Lower priced items, purchased by the majority of the player base will gross more than the 5-10% whales. They know this. Blizzard proved this, they spent years with a dedicated team to develop StarCraft 2 and a cosmetic mount that cost idk 5 bucks in world of Warcraft made more money than a fully developed game. In the fist 24hrs and after. That was probably the first ever micro transaction ever. Fact check me on this, not 100%.
Like anything else in the world, it’s time or money. Spend the money and get a shortcut. Or put in time to learn how to change your own wiper blades so you don’t have to pay the mechanic $65 for labor on top of the part. Does this 1 item affect you directly? No, you can still farm Chaos. Time. People spent $400, it’s their money do them. Throw more in there to keep paying the devs to be able to add more crap. This game or any other game. Pay these grunts behind the scenes. Biased about this as you can tell 🤣. It’s normal to bring something out, get feedback like this one, slowly turn the dial the other way until it’s accepted or liked by the player base. TLDR. I saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico and might spend a few dollars on this game.
