Stabilizers are expensive.

The reset for the event in the beginning was 12 like any other duo. If they really didn't want people to replay the instance they would have removed the option to do so before it went live. I guess they just don't care enough to do it hastily.

What about when the event is over and people still have capsules? They have to buy keys to open them there is no instance to get stabilizers anymore.

You cannot do things like this to people and then contemplate what's wrong with your game. A constant cash grab is going to push people away because it's clearly giving the impression money is more important than player convenience and with every GU recently, there's some sort of cash grab involved. To be perfectly honest, none of this cash grab nonsense really existed until Jack joined the team. No offense to Jack, I'm not attacking him just stating some things I've noticed by putting two and two together.

Those Stabilizers are expensive and trust me, I've spent a lot of money on this game because said things were worth it in my opinion.

If someone came to you and told you they're willing to dump money on a video game but they're not going to buy an overpriced item I would listen to them. I would listen to them because if someone's willing to purposely throw money into a game I would probably make it to where they do it consistently and make them feel they're getting their money worth.

What's worse about this whole thing is that the boxes are RNG based. That's not worth a dollar, I don't care what anyone says that's not worth a dollar at all. If you're ok being a tool, by all means be a tool but never is it ok to expect others to be the same way.

This game is going pay to win in such a clever way that you wont even notice.

No, but I'd care enough to ask where you got that information. Care to share?

did you even read anything about this system before coming on here to complain about it?

Yes I did but does it really matter? If it's not in accordance to stabilizers being overpriced (the OP topic) it's redundant.

It was in the announcements they made this weekend. You can staff track mepps and the post will come up.

In those same announcements, they explained the reason that it was 87 rpb was because the tech wasn't ready to have it not replayable this week, but they didn't want to delay implementation of the capsule. the 87 rpb was supposed to be cost prohibitive, but you can't stop suckers from replaying it. As the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

It's not redundant when its extremely relevant to why keys are priced at the price point they are. If you're legendary you can get 20 keys for just over 17 bucks. How much cheaper would you like them to be?

Ugh. More RNG. What part of" people don't like that" is sooo hard to understand?!

Lol. As if they weren't well aware people would still Replay the crap out of it

Welcome to the entlightment. Don't worry about your first impression being wrong and countering people who tried to say so from the start. As long as you're good with changing your opinion when proven wrong, you're still on the right path

But why don't they want people replaying it? That makes absolutely no sense. Why would they purposely eliminate the option to replay an instance?

Since you're asking me, I think they should be free for Legendary players but, that's just my opinion and you probably won't agree with it so I'm just going to avoid further detail into it.

"If you're legendary you can get 20 keys for just over 17 bucks." If someone's already a paying customer they should not feel like they have to pay more money to have less fun. If you're really that against me trying to save not only you but others money, thats a special kind of stupid. You're not stupid so please don't feel like I am trying to make you feel that way but I will tell you you're making stupid choices because they are overpriced. Even if you did buy 20 keys for 17 bucks, you're not going to complete everything in those boxes. Premium and Free players can't even utilize the broker in ways Legendary players can so they're not really making any usable money from them like some Legendary players are, which is probably why so many people think the price is fair.

I think I have yet to be proven wrong. Most of the comments so far are I think it's fair because I have money to blow on them. Ok, that doesn't justify anything. I have money to blow on them too but choose not to why? Because I feel like they're overpriced and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Apparently all of it lol*

We dont want people replaying the event so we will set it at 87 replays.
Now my question is, if you really dont want people replaying it and you dont have the tech to make it not replayable...why dont you set it so you have to spend 2000 or any unreasonable amount of replays to replay?
So people who has been stacking replays and stupid people who cant do math will replay anyways.
Setting it at 87 replays is clearly another gimmick.
Oh how low you have fallen daybreak.

Playing Devils Advocate but, I think it's because they have never made something cost more than 87 Replays so whatever tech they're using to remove the replay cost would be the same tech used to make it that high. Maybe

They could also use the early numbers of people actually re-playing it to see how many users are willing to do anything - no matter how unreasonable it seems - to get content done within the first hours after release, and set prices accordingly. Mepps quick reaction telling "we will remove it in the future" - or similar - in that case could mean that initial sales were disappointing anyway.

I see how much these items are selling for, I know first hand because I was one of the sellers, they could have made a lot just from an Alert reset tied to the instance. They made a ton of money yesterday, I know this for a fact because I have never seen Trade so full with spam that's actually trading items and selling goods!

Not necessarily. A lot of the badges used yesterday could have been RBs in "stock" from people hardly using them while getting them "free" with their subscription packs. Or RBs stocked up with just the recent sale. There is also in many cases are huge difference between personal perception while being involved and factual numbers. But I agree - any more reasonable price of RBs to reset would have probably resulted in a hugher acceptance on the players' end and more sales. I'd go as far and say that a normal duo pricing could have broken the marketplace yesterday; at their price of 87 however, the number of very reluctant players was also very high.

Except that everything you just said is based entirely on your opinion and the very small sample size you used.

I have unlocked about 30 boxes, recieved almost all of the emblems, got all rare blue collections, and most of the regular collections. I got some rare blue collections twice and made a killing on the broker with them. I've got all three of the auras, and I only spent about 1.5 million in game cash to complete them. I recieved four pieces of future armor (two were repeats, so I made a killing on those too) Considering I made about 40 million selling doubles of stuff, I'd say that price of the keys were just fine for me, and in no way a "stupid choice."

By the way, you're playing semantics when you say "I'm not calling you stupid, just your choices are stupid." Give me a break. You made a post about this with very limited information (despite claiming to have thorougly read the discussions this weekend prior) and now you're saying I'm making stupid choices based on your very limited information.

I won't even get into the "keys should be free for legendary" because you're right we do disagree on that.
