    Question for GMs: Why so little stuff in the store?

    As the title says, why is the store so sparse? I know for a fact you have/had other stuff ready for it because I remember the store from beta/alpha. I want to give you my money, there was stuff I wanted heavily. Why are you holding the stuff back?

    They're still trying to figure out how much to overcharge for it.

    Have you seen all the outfit stuff you get from completing pursuits?

    I have like 95% of it unlocked already. But they had things in the store that were unique and not just repaints in alpha, they also had different vehicles.

    I personally don't think they over charge for the stuff. Its similar prices to every other MMO item shop. I don't buy stuff like locked boxes cause you can earn that in game, but see I have this thing in real life, its called a job, and I get given money for doing it... so i can spend it on trivial things like clothes and vehicles in games I play.

    Main thing I am really wanting is I had an awesome pink camo looking Nomad that came from the item store and I want it again. Or any color of nomad really. I love that truck, so wish I had pre-ordered through steam. But there were a few outfits I wouldn't mind too.

    Not over priced? You call 10 bucks for a recolored out fit cheap? LOL!

    And you call 2 bucks a day per boost that ticks even if servers go down cheap too? 60 bucks a month for a loot booster just to get ammo/item drops consitantly lol. Add in other boosters, it's 300+ bucks a month. Cheap, laugh! It's highway robbery more like it.

    No, defiance CS items are absurbly over priced. They obviously took notes from Korean F2Ps where they gouge you for everything.

    wait what? is this true?, boosts are not 24h game time but real time?

    It's real time. Ticks down even if you play or not. I lost over 18 hours of boosts now due to the server maintances so far.

    wow what a freaking ripoff, so glad i never bought any as i didn't know this.
    i mean seriously wth this is the first game that i played that does this every other game the boosts are always game time like it's logic to be, who wants to waste money on a 24h boost if you only get a few hours worth.
    Overpriced outfits, recolored vehicles and now this crap, well i guess any way is a good way to make money for some companies.
    They sure won't make any (more) money from me.

    You don't need boosts to play, they are not a requirement, they are a luxury, so therefor get charged a premium price. If you don't like the price, don't buy them. They don't make a great difference anyways.

    And no, I actually don't call 10$ for an outfit, recolor or not (which by the way the recolors are not even close to that.. about half in fact... only the unique/not unlockable ones are around 10$) all that expensive because its yours for life and on all your characters. And yes, I've played a lot of games with item malls, no not all Korean, and that's about what vanity items tend to cost.

    I do however agree its kinda crap that the boosts run down online or not. Which is kinda another reason to not buy them. *shrugs*
