Lost microtransactions and Closed Beta supporters who bought stash tabs
+1 to GGG. Classy.

While I understand the difficulties surrounding the situation, most shops I am aware of offer partial refunds if an item goes on sale that was recently purchased. Not saying GGG should have such a policy, just responding to a comment about shops not doing this.

"LOL! I feel your pain! The backspace key and the back button in my browser have been vital posting tools for me this past day. While it's mostly the people complaining, there are also fan-bois who need a biff of the clue-bat. The prime example to me was defending that it was okay to destroy effects after a warning message when there is no rational use-case where a person would ever want do that. I'd say the fact is that Chris was responding to a situation in real-time and did what he could, but if he'd had some time he would have done things differently. Thus the patch will be out in a few days. I can't even think how to politely address some of the people complaining though. While I know that "buyers remorse" is a not unusual condition, this is the internet and the extremes astonish me. I am also impressed with Chris' self-control in replying. I would have been pretty wounded by all this bitching and probably would have lost it. That said, I also want to thank Chris/GGG for the stash tab offer. It's a kind gesture. [Edit add:] Any info yet on how long the initial "On Sale" prices in the shop are likely to last? -- CH (who in the real world sometimes misses when things go on sale or has something be sold out never to return - and has to deal with it) Running heists fully zoomed in... because Last edited by CelticHound on Jan 25, 2013, 1:43:07 PM

Heya, I just have a small question that I'd appreciate if someone could answer.
If I, let say, buy a Fiery Visage, can I trade it between characters on my account infinite amount of times after I've equipped it? Cheers. | |

Just the day before launch we changed the behaviour of the effects so that they can be moved between items forever, rather than being consumed when they are used. We're hoping that the policy changes discussed in this post helps solve any concerns players had with how we've been running the shop since launch."

" I´m very happy about the wise solution you found for the issues this thread is about (even better than my suggestion). That´s why i love you guys...if there´s a problem you always try to find the best solution (in every aspect of the game). I´m pretty sure you will find a solution for the problem above, too. As far as i understand, the complaints aren´t about the price structure but about how many points you have to buy to get the shop item you want. A lot of people don´t care about pets or visual effects, but most people will buy stash tabs (that´s where the most money will come from). So it is important for them to get the stash tabs they want without having points left for things they don´t want to buy. Right now you have to buy 200 points for $20 if you want a premium bundle...perfect. If you want a normal bundle you also have to buy 200 points for $20. You have 50 points left and maybe no use for it (another tab costs 30...so 20 left) The next time you want a normal bundle you have to buy 142 points for $15, because it´s not possible to get 100 points. So you have 42 points left and have to buy another 142 points next time. That´s why people are complaining about the low packages. The solution for this seems to be easy...offer them 150 points for $15. In my opinion you could delete the lower packages because not many will buy them. If you want to offer a package lower than $15 than it should be around 75 points for $8 (enough for many of the shop items). | |
