Wheel of Fates tokens
I appreciate the new promotion coming out, and heck, I can even appreciate that spending an hour In-game means I get to participate in the month's promotion, but I must sincerely ask, keeping in mind that I'm someone who is happy to throw money at you guys when I can afford to...is it REALLY ideal to sell 5 of these wheel tokens for 45 dollars a pop at the smallest purchase size?!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love buying into these promotions, last x-mas when we had the stockings, I bought at least two 20 dollar bundles from that, because it was something I could afford in my budgeting, and I probably sound like I'm whining, but it feels a bit..exclusionary when the minimum amount we can expect to invest into this current promotion is 45 dollars for a bundle of 5..when I'd expect that a bundle of 5 would be probably more ideal at 20 dollars, a bundle of 15 for 45 (giving a discount for bulk, even though the pricing on this side could be budged if needed) and so on. I mean, yes, I do understand that the prizes pushed out by the wheel are rather..exhorbitant for such pricing..but it's a little on the exclusionary side to me to not be able to invest money I would otherwise be happy to invest because I cannot really budget for it IRL, which I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to budget for this..
and I understand I sound like I'm whining, but I'm genuinely interested in starting an actual discussion for this topic, even if most people would simply rather just shrug at it and wave it off.

The rushing sound of waves breaking upon a shore fills your mind as Slyphe imparts to you, "Meltas is a bit..special sometimes..."

Also so far as I'm aware, a lot of our promo stuff (esp. pricing) comes down from higher up, on the IRE-level, not the 'we can change this' level.
I wrote a response before reading the entire thread and missed some context.
It's reasonably worth it, though I think if you math it I'd have come out ahead if I'd dropped my money on credits instead--though I'm good with that. The gambling aspect is more fun than a straight credit purchase.
My disappointment, is that this batch of relic pieces is not compatible with the original batch. So I have a full set of the hunting relics from the wheel, except one piece, which I bought, and can't use them because it doesn't recognize the one piece from the original run of these.
