    In game pricing

    Just wanted to put the feelers out and ask if anyone else was confused and put off buying from the seemedky erratic pricing system implemented within the in game Defiance store??

    In the Beta the outfits were priced at 240 and the headgear at 150 which I find absolutely perfect and would have happily purchased a few of both at least.

    However in the final build what we have is a confusing pricing system with outfits ranging from 240 up to 880 msp!?? I wouldn't be paying that anytime soon and I know it's my choice and others may want to but I'm struggling to understand the thought process that went into this structure.

    Thoughts?

    It's definitely whacked. Look at the pricing for inventory slots. In Beta 3, the more you bough, the less per slot it cost. In the release version of the store, there is no difference in the cost ratio from one package to the other. They're all the same price per unit.

    Agreed, Forgot to mention that too.

    I get the whole MMO idea and premise but the Pricing system is nothing short of failure.

    I loved the Beta pricing, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like I've been tricked. Its a trap!

    It seems Trion experiment with pricing.

    Either there will be 50-75% bits sale/discount or I'll simply ignore the shop.

    Ditto. I'm liking the game so far. A lot. But the pricing for a single outfit is ridiculous.

    Glad I'm not the only one.

    I know for a fact if it was still the.Beta pricing I'd have bought a few things by now but as it stands I refuse to purchase anything due to the lack of consistency in regards to pricing.

    I'm sure they'd have sold more if the price was right.

    Someone from marketing needs a shake.
