5 Advance and Shield V for that much diamonds is massive Rip off. Tier 7, maybe. But tier 5??

Most are junk, as far as I see. One of those "designed for new player" sales, except that this game has no new players.

With this package, it would be 2475 diamonds to get T7 Recon. Without double diamonds, even if you bought the cheapest $100 offer, that would be $78.6 USD.

But why tier 7, when you can tier 8 at 5 times the price?! Thats only $392.8 USD for a tier 8 Recon! cheap! Those $26 packages don't seem too expensive after all...

Dear Marketing Team,

SELL US THE RECONCILIATION RUNES!
Nobody uses Shield Runes by themselves. Quit beating around the bush over 5 extra charges to combine the runes.
Also, the most recent pricing on the Packages is absurdly overpriced by any means.

Sincerely,
Me and the rest of the community.

40% discount is on the other packages. The rune package price has nothing to be reduced from to get that absurd pricing.

I know, i was just emphasizing the idiocy the whole sale. On a serious note, I am struggling to see the reasoning behind such a price whether it be normal or discounted. Its shaking hands and going to 3rd base with ludicrously overpriced.

I am not even angry about it its so bad... it saddens and disappoints me and leaves me lost.

Don't say things like that - if the Rune Package has a proper selling price of 825 diamonds, then a 40% discount brings it down to 495.

Despite my need for a Recon for the Mage toon I play on Osha, I will not be paying that price for it!

Well this is all regarding that survey so Dio pay close attention to this statement.

Just because Gameforge makes an item rare does not make it valuable. Nor does it give you the right to gouge your customers.

You all make no sense, fatal and wrath VII for 12 diamonds, I made VIII for 60 diamonds per, that is a fair price. This sale is scrooge met Grinch and had an all nighter with an eight ball and some wild turkey and decided to run the sales department.

Yeah its real funny we used to buy recon VII for 59 diamonds per. Get a clue the whales are gone, yes you do have to profit and should profit but not like this. This like the last sale is greed, and your players are not so addicted to the game that they are going to bend over and take it.

Depite the price, we KNOWeth players twill buy. There tis no other way ter get recons. How many timers hast yer done watchered yer fellow guildies pull aggro recently? The newer players no hast recons, cept the overpriced ones in the AH. Shall we get out the plank fer those players as well as Gameforge? Me agrees, Gameforge tis overpricein their item here. But players twill buy so they can play. Supply an demand reareth its ugly head outta the ocean, tripled wit greed. Which can we slay first? Load the cannons!
