I'm sure most of you have went and checked out the new 2p Gator mount by now what are your thoughts on it? I think its waaayyyy over priced. You know how long I'm gonna have to work my corner selling my pixledated booty to get that kind of graalats? Forever and a couple more months after that. It looks cool but I would never shell out 80k for a ride that does the same thing as my 2p mounts. For 80k that bitch better do something fancy.

You mean to tell me saggy man-boobs aint desirable anymore?  

People have to realize that Classic has to compete with servers like Era, not in players, but that Stefan and Co. expect them to make a profit.

Staff tries their hardest to give players decent content with minimal cost, and to keep what players do pay for mostly cosmetic. We don't want players to have to buy stronger swords, or pay out the ass for the newest item. So while Era sells a gun for 100k, remember that is the same amount of gralats on Classic. The only difference that can be made is that Era and Classic have different jobs, and how much these jobs offer. As far as gralat packs go, compare the prices of things on Classic to Era... now think about why Stefan wouldn't be happy that Classic doesn't make as much as Era does.

Players can rage over the price of 2player mounts, but it's either a huge price on a few items that show up like those, or increase everything drastically.

So in other words "Era is more overpriced than classic"  

Yes, all 2p mounts should priced high just like all the other 2p mounts. My only complaint is that the alligator isnt made as well as the armored panda and rhino.  

I didn't log on to classic for a year. I logged in to check out the new mount and I totally agree. When I saw the 80K price tag I was like WTH. You would have to work your ASS off to get that money. Frankly, I wouldn't buy it but now that you mention it, if maybe it could whip players with its tail and do 2.5-3 dmg than MAYBE it would be worth the 80k. It should do something fancy. I dislike the high price tag of items when I could buy another item that is practically the same/better.

I understand where your coming from on that,and while I do still think that 80k price tag is to steep I do agree that there is nothing wrong with pricing certain items higher than your average item. I would think if like somebody said even if they where trolling or not if it is able to "swim" or transport you and a passenger across the water or do something unique that the other 2p mounts don't do then it would be more worth it to drop $45 (u.s) to get the gralats needed to buy it.

I know that Classic is a F2P,but I also don't think it would be bad if some stuff was a little higher priced if we simply had the option to sell off items we no longer use or want to get extra gralats to buy the more expensive items.

Btw if items are cheaper and you sell more of them are you still not making as much if not more money than you would by setting the price point higher to try and make more money?

It reminds me of what my momma always used to say "would you like me to buy you 1 really nice big expensive thing? or a whole bunch of smaller nice cheaper things?" Idk about anybody else but I would much rather spend my gralats on a whole lot of little things rather than one large thing that I wont care about in 2 days.

But that's not a good thing for a game like Graal. It's already an issue, as whenever a new item comes out instead of people buying gralats they just sell off all their old uploads.

Maybe, but there's also an issue where on Era, there is a lot of incentive to buy all those expensive things as they provide better weapons. Even though it's cheaper on Classic, there's much less incentive beyond just wanting the item for looks.  

Nice new hay bail concept btw
