Cash Shop - Balance the Price When Purchase w/ Donor Points

Discussion in 'Suggestions' started by ProTato, Jul 21, 2017.

Buying "non-donor" equips with donor's points...what do you think of the price tags?

  1. The prices are just right...

    5 vote(s)
    17.9%
  2. The prices are a bit too high (compare to donor equips)...

    I notice the equips in the donor section mostly cost around 2.5k NX, which is quite a reasonable price for special permanent equips. However, if I wanted to purchase a non-donor equip, it can cost a lot more than that for it to be permanent.

    I don't know how the price tags are decided. I assumed price tags for non-donor equips are decided based off buying with Vote Cash, which is reasonable to have higher prices than donor equips because they are pretty much free, but they can become overpriced when purchased with Donor's Points, especially when most donor equips look a lot more fancy.

    I understand how we shouldn't be expecting to get anything in return when donating, but it is the case where I think a bit of adjustment could make things more reasonable.

    Your thoughts?

    Note that my suggestion isn't to lower the prices for non-donor equips. I am talking about having a cheaper options if purchased with Donor's Points. Is it possible to have a separate price tag for non-donor equips if purchased with Donor's Points?

    While i strongly agree with you, it's gonna hard to adjust the prices because non donor nx equipment will be very cheap compared if it gets reduced to equal its donor value.

    I'm not sure of this is possible, but maybe the non-donor nx items could be offered in two sets of prices: a donor cash amount, and a regular nx vote amount

    That's what I am suggesting here. Simply dropping the prices is definitely not ideal. A possibility is to have a separate donor tab for these non-donor equips with lower price tags, but can only purchase with Donor's Points. Another option, better in my opinion, to have two sets of prices upon checkout, but it seems harder to implement.

    Bumping this up, as I think it's important to balance out the prices too.

    For instance a transparent shield is 10k nx, so if I bought that with donor points.. ouch.
    Quite a lot of the prices in the normal equip shop are still within the 4k-10k range, which should be balanced out if bought with donor/real money.

    It's a bummer for sure, but 10k nx for voting nx or donation nx is really is just too much. My transparent shield has run out (as I bought it with the vote nx, not my donor) but I'm going to wait to see if they will make any changes.

    I'm sorry there are those that had to pay that much. :dead:
