Todays Store Offer - Are you Insane!

I have seen a lot of rediculously overpriced offers in recent times. But first off YES this is in New Zealand Dollars
$120 for a 5* Rank 3 to 4 Generic Gem!
Kabam have you lost the check on reality here?
Expectedly for that price, I would assume a Nexus 6* Crystal with 1 Million Gold and 48x5k Generic ISO but a Generic Rank Up Gem with 450k Gold is an absolute joke

Wow the price gap is that bad in NZ? Holy smokes

Giz

Well at least you can bring that 4* into act 6! Wait a minute.....

JollyHawk

So how much were the 4th of July/Cyber Monday deals in NZ? Because I think a 6* Nexus crystal would be well above $120, even in US$.

danielmath

oh wait that'120 isn't american dollars right?

DrZola

That’s 6 T4b, 6 T1a, 4 T2a and 4 T4c plus the gold to rank (not level, mind you—there’s just a pittance left over for that).

US$70.

I’m not buying, but I’d be willing to suggest a price of $19.99 that might cause me to give it a second look.

Any other suggested price points? All in the name of helping the Kabam marketing department, of course.

Yo what, I can buy 24 boxes of hot chippies with that money instead of the 5* rank up gem

Considering most offers with T2A in them are still $29 to $49, I'd say $19.99 is a bit low. I'd say $39 and I'd buy it. There's no RNG involved so takes that aspect out of it.

That’s fair and not really out of line. I’ve become stingier on MCoC offers and at $19.99 I’d probably have a hard time resisting. But I think you are closer to the real in-game value. It is generic...

For the current price, however, I’d expect something like a 1->4 gem.

The price is ridiculous. When I saw the message in game, before I read it I thought “Great, it’ll be a 4-5 gem and I can rank up Spidergwen and finish up 6.4 exploration.” Then I saw the price and thought it was about twenty bucks too expensive, but it’s a generic and I really need Spidergwen ranked up. Then I saw it was a 3-4 gem, so I laughed and put my credit card back in my wallet. I’ll just wait another two weeks to get the t5B I’m missing from the glory store.

The offers for the entire month have been horrible. Apparently Kabam thinks a pandemic is the perfect time to raise prices.

it is, that way people save their money, you are welcome!

The sad thing is if they’re coming out with offers like this people are buying them

Like, I could either buy this deal, or purchase some new console game and go out to eat. It’s ridiculous how out of perspective kabam is with their offers. I know I’m not a professional economist/salesperson, but lowering price means more people will buy it. That’s why more people drive Toyota’s than Mercedes. The price makes a big difference in making buyers willing to spend. Cash offers shouldn’t be a dang this is expensive but I’m impatient, it should be dang! Look at this banger offer!

This is just occurring to me now, Kabam is being pretty smart right now. They are conditioning us with extra bad offers so when they roll out the 7/4 offers, we would be stupid NOT to go for them. It’s obnoxious, but there is a slight method to their madness.

Greywarden

Interesting strategy. Come out with offers so bad that 4th of July will look amazing in comparison.

But those T2a offers are generally overpriced as well, you can’t use an overpriced offer to compare the value of another offer. I’d say $20 is an acceptable price.

I love these offers, it makes it easier to ignore them.

But that gem represents 4 of those T2A offers. And the extras you get are 5 T1A and 6 T4B.

If Lexus is excluded, Merz sells better than Toyota from where I live.

I'm thinking they are sending out all these bad offers to make the July 4 offers look like steals, people will be spending!

Rising unemployment, people with limited income provided by the state to feed them...sounds like a bunch of rubes ripe to pluck i suppose! Been telling the marketing department they don't have a clue for 5 years now! Interesting to finally see others on board with that message. I have always wondered why virtual nothings with unlimited availability, no production costs associated with sustaining supply for the demand, cost so much! There are chinese in the back packing the offers? What?

where do you live? Beverly Hills? Mercedes is basically a Toyota over there

I don’t understand these comments regarding the pandemic. If you’re out of a job, you shouldn’t be spending on a mobile game regardless if the deals are great.

If the “deals” are there I’ll spend. But the “deals” over the last 6 or so weeks have been terrible...so no spend from me...
