Sales for weekend of feb 4-5

This weekend sale list is very short and not good news.

1) ABL - 99. Why is this a sale when it is regular ABL price? And, you even get 2 fewer rubies on sale, 14 vs regular 16.

2) Attribute-Purifying stone - 199. Same comment as above. This is not a sale when it goes for regular price.

3) 8x Puri package - 255, or 31.875 per puri. Really? After all the puri requests that were made, this is the puri sale?

4) Equipment Attribute Purifier stone - 199. Seems overpriced to me.

5) Random Attribute Purifier stone - 39.

Ok, random stone is really great deal, and see this thread for details on working of that. But, the rest... Not a win.


P.S. I think we know which sales team is behind this... Sale name is "Arcane Artefact" and when I thought it was spelling error, I saw this in m-w:

Definition of ARTEFACT: chiefly British variant of artifact. :D

What is worse is that it is not a puri package, it is 8 stones that will not be in a nice neat package conserving our limited invetory spaces.

More then likely gonna get myself banned from the forums but what the heck(ill keep the language clean). What are these people thinking? Are they slow in the head? Do they really care about what, we the paying customer want? I work in a retail business and if we didn't give the customers what they asked for we would be out of business. But i guess there's still enough stupid ppl to keep buying diamonds and putting up with the BS that gets handed handed out(when it gets handed out). The community has been begging for puri packs and not the BS packs such as the 8X puri pack but at least give us the small puri pack for 125 diamonds. I had 200$ set aside for this weekend and was hoping there was a daym good sale... but guess what.. It blows monkeys... and more then likely ill spend the money on beer and hookers. Yes i may QQ but come on... this is getting old. Either give us what we want or just close the doors so we can move on to another game that has better support. Ive played a lot of F2P games and this was one of the best if not the best when i first started out but holy bat crap Batman.. this is getting ridiculous. I've said it before and maybe i should take my own advice and remember that this is a game and if i don't like i should move on. But hard to walk away from something that i have invested more money in, then i ever did when i played another game for over 6 years that was subscription based(wont name anything) but 15 dollars a month for 6 years is nothing compared to and i MEAN nothing to what i've spent in the year i've played RoM. And whats worse is i play warden which cost more to just be able to run endgame cause we have to be over the top with our gear just to match a comp stated rogue. But anyways back to rant at hand, all we are asking for is good sales(and siege fixed). 8x puri for 255 diamonds is not much of a deal. A 99 diamond ABL(Really? what rocket scientist thought this would be a good sale Item LOL) The Attribute stone for the normal price... where do i sign up to buy this for the normal price that it always is. As far as the other two items, if i'm not mistaken you need a puri plus the stone in order to maximum what it can do and once again this is a Sale? .............SIGH............. nuff said.........

Generally agree with the comment (although it could use some paragraph breaks not to be wall of text). But this is not correct, as I see it. If you have item with one stat, you get clean item and the stat on a mana stone. In a way, when used on a single stat item, this is a puri that does not destroy the item. In that case, it is both puri and cleaner.

... which makes cleaner price all the more ridiculous.

One good out of five... :(

Same offers different price in dias.
But we get the same amount of dias for 100&#8364; as you for 100$ , so as i did the math in another thread unless the EUR <> USD exchange rates become highly volatile again were paying the same in real money. thats if you leave purchasing power aside, but thats not my area. i just play around with (simple) maths :D

<ignore, default price is 50 not 59>
@pink hat:

1 puri 59 dias right? without offers?

u get: 255 instead of 472 ~45.,9% discount
i get : 199 instead of 312 => ~36,2% discount

and see above, money <> dias equals out with the normal prices . so you got the better offer and still complaining? :p
</ignore, the above had a wrong base number>

Where do they get these people from .... are they that thick. This is NOT a sale. In my poor opinion they dont seem to give a darn about this community. I say this because there seems to be no serious effort to give the community what they want.

LOL. Standard response that tends to end in nothing being done. Adding an L to end of FAI would perfectly explain how well they have done since the merging of the EU and US. Wonder how it feels when you are repeating disappointing your customer base. You all enjoying yourself?

drkshadow0000, I think it will depend how well this new item will be received and bought on this first sale, before any further evaluation and planning will be done on how often, how regular or even maybe permanent those new items will be offered in the item shop. But I am not sales, so this is just a guess :)

Normal puri is 50, so this is discouned, yes. Problem is that whenever puries would go on sale, we would get small pack for 125, a 50% discount. That has happened pretty much since I joined the game, so people think of 50 as a non-sale price, and 25 as regular sale price.

And, yeah, EU prices are different, and I believe your math makes sense. But, this is a problem with centralized planning, different markets have different pricing patterns. It doesn't work in US market.

I have pointed many times, and you agreed with me, that back when EU was not involved in US operations, both sides had a reason to complain that other side had better deals, and we should stick with what we have instead of always looking across the pond and saying "hey, they got better deals". Now that we dont have as much customization of sales to the market, this proved to be all too accurate a call.

Yoman,

Did you guys on EU ever got anything on discount to 50% or even 70%?

I lost faith that thing will turn any better in future, and since FEU took over we just have more and more fail sales.

One time it might be mistake to place item for the same regular price, but now we have this in almost every sale?!

Not sure if sales department would work any better if we send them calculators. :p

50% often, >50% rarely. 50% for puris is usually single puri daily offer for 20 (instead 39). 8 packs ~40% discount usually atleast monthly, bindlifters are non-perm over here and have 99 as a more or less fixed price unless in some 500 dia mixed package (which are usually great IF you need whats in them, but not everyone needs everything). And we've been complaining about that the 8packs wont stack for like .. 2 years now? guess what happend? ....... :D The 20puri-packs do stack, though. Just not often enough available in the shop (and those have exactly 50% here... 390 for 20 instead of 390 for 10 single without offers).

quite honestly the christmas stuff on puris and cleaners was about the best offer i ever saw for these since 2009 ;)

But thats just my impressions, if you need official answers, you might as well ask Dionaea, because shes active on both sides of the world, she should know ;-)
