1,000,000 tp orb 999 diamonds.

It is nice to see our Item shop sales team still has no clue about the game in general. When the majority of players can buy 2 daily resets for 78 diamonds and get more then 1m tp from doing them. Why would anyone spend 999 diamonds on an orb ? you could buy 12 daily resets for under 999 diamonds which translates to over 6m tp from doing them at normal daily reset prices.

Please actually look at the in-game viability of items before setting a ludicrous price. Now days a 1,000,000 Talent Point Orb should run around 50 diamonds if you are putting them on sale.

The funniest thing is happy hour is "50% off" so they're actually stupid enough to believe that 1M tp is worth 2K diamonds at regular price.

A million TP is a more attractive proposition on a class that isn't level-capped yet and doesn't have access to endgame dailies. Probably still not a thousand diamonds' worth, but more sensible than it would be for an endgame character.

2 daily resets = 78 dias.

reg price of tp should be 100 dias.

this sale should be 50.

ez.

itemshop manager has no CLUE what runes of magic even is.

the ROM cash shop manager is probably the CS manager for other games and has no idea how things in ROM work until we QQ enough

I'm thinking about this & let's be honest guys... a lot of these sales are NOT for end-gamers.

Let's say you realize that about lvl 50 you can start doing fly dailies in IG for the BEST xp/tp payout until lvl 68 or so ( taz/fires )...

that's 266K tp per daily... so you'd need 4 dailies to make 1 mil tp = 4x39 = 156 dias BUT you gotta put in the effort to run back and forth doing flies ( & mebbe the other 3 dailies ) x 4 = effort.

I honestly can see people buying this especially w/ the recent xp events.

Heck, these would probably like hotcakes w/ an xp event since people still believe you "lose" tp during those events.

The fact that people are stupid and would buy them does not make them a good deal in any way, shape, or form. It takes all of maybe a few days to hit 68.

I'm trying to think like a guy w/ $$$ to burn & a "new" game where I'm leveling a toon as fast as possible w/ no help...

Being level-capped, yeah, it makes no sense since it takes like 20 minutes to go from 85->87 on both sides w/ the new zone's rumble daily; but not everyone is there yet.

& yeah, this sale could just be a "feeler" sale to see if there are people willing to drop 1k dias for 1 mil tp. *shrugs*

Ycavan, rumble daily please explain? Course new zone is only like 20k more per daily than Wailing ones that I do as a group in no time.



I don't always Agree with both BB AND Borella on their ideas... but when I do, you know exactly how right they are. I have always thought the prices for these are RETARDED. Non-endgame people... shouldn't really be scrambling for TPs... since you will be balancing out any TP loss at level cap with your dailies every day. Once you hit cap you can get 1,140,000 TPs every other day, using legendary zodiac pet and Wailing Fjord dailies. Just makes no sense they would have a "sale" at 1k diamonds, let alone the assumption full price is 2k diamonds!!! Especially if you think T8 of a piece of gear is around 1700 diamonds without a sale!

ycavan,

be kind and translate how much of money you need to spend to get character from lvl1 to level cap just by using XP orbs @ that price.

This game is one of most expensive game ever, you know it, but somehow you either don't care about prices (being rich or something like that) and are blind at fact that game being too expensive is driving players AWAY from the game, old ones as well new ones.

Fly daily quest is worst mess up by RW, Butcher should be inside garden, not outside. That was stupid move if you ask me...

RoMage> I'm not rich by any means, but I'm not broke either. :)

I enjoy this game, so I pump money into it & I buy stuff if it makes sense for me; in that sense, yeah.. I really don't care about prices.

The game is expensive & most of that is due to the short-sightedness of the developer. I really think they only planned to max out @ lvl 50 & we were only supposed to have green stats.

The fact is is that we kept on asking for better and better stuff.. they gave it to us. We asked for more challenging instances.. they gave it to us. Now, we're moaning about the cost involved to get to the top? psh. Spend what you can & if someone CAN and DOES spend 999 dias on a 1 mil tp orb, why are we upset?

Like you guys said, AT LEVEL CAP, there are dailies that blow that deal out of the water. Heck, Butterflies will do that too.. but that place just gives me a headache. I have a stack of dailiy quest tix for my main active alt.. & I do 1 set of Infernal Gardens dailies per day. ..vs half an hour or so of the Rumble daily w/ the guild to max level on both sides of my main burning daily quest tix.

Is it supposed to be for the extra classes that players get by using class expansion tickets? With dailies limited to 10 per day and class cap expanded to 6, it seems like it would take a long time and a lot of money to use dailies/resets for additional classes (whether you just have 4 or all 6). That's what I assumed the orb was for when I first saw it. I wouldn't buy it though because as others here have said...price tag.

I really wish we have some sale data, so that we can compare how each deal did - good or bad.

IMHO, if they even sold some @ that price (witch I highly doubt), that sale is huge flop.

If they priced those @ 100 dias each, some lazy endgamerz might get some of them and would be worth item...

Problem is that everything else has to be repriced and adjusted, so your charm can't be 1/10 of the price of orb, should be much less then that... and so forth... (talking about 1M/100K advanced charms)

As someone else mentioned on this topic, and as was pointed by me and many others years ago - biggest problem is that people who make decisions on price and game are not playing the game, and have no idea how it works, what each items is worth etc. Another problem is that any posts like this is only viewed as 'price cry' and those players want everything for free (as we have been told multiple times in past)...
