The pricing is routinely under review to ensure we are meeting our potential: We don't want it to be unreasonable or exorbitant like a $21,000 speaker cable, but we do want to be able to keep the game running and improving for a long time through reasonable transactions such as a cup of coffee for a Mech Bay.
Thank you for acknowledging this thread!
You will quickly see tremendous support for the pricing of Mech Bays within this thread but please take away more from this feedback than just that. Your assessment seems to be based on the idea that because Mech Bays are priced competitive with a cup of coffee that all prices must be fair - you even begin with the idea that prices are routinely under review. Since these prices are reviewed regularly and no adjustments have ever been made what is the value of this constant review? What is the value of the review when it does not take the abundant amount of feedback (uniquely of consensus here on the forum) into consideration - and it could not be argued that the feedback is considered (valid) or else all of this 'reviewing' would have produced something. Is it possible prices could come down if the cost overhead associated with all the routine reviewing was eliminated?
I point all this out not as a personal attack but to demonstrate that your comment was not actionable or informative. This forum has produced consensus with regard to this matter - this should be considered an astounding phenomenon on this forum and the Devs should consider the significance of such unity, even if by a vocal minority, and do something other than just have an associate type the word "review" in the forums.
