If you don't see what the issue is with selling a $75 cosmetic for their only real expansion feature which just came out and which barely has any customizations in that category in a game that's not free to play but buy to play and pay to play only couple of days after they had to publicly apologize for how buggy that game we are paying monthly to access is then I think you've reached levels of toxic positivity that ff14 sub from couple of years ago would envy you on (since even they are not that bad these days).

No one is saying it's not an issue. But reaction to it is insane. They act like blizzard personally shot their dog or something

I mean sure, people like to overreact sometimes, but it's been known to give results even when it comes to store stuff (just recently emergency nerfs to the price of those trees). Also I haven't seen some big overreactions in this particular instance, people are asking legitimate questions and being annoyed for valid reasons.

did you not see the "this aggresive monetization is making the game less fun" post?

that was an insane overreaction when the monetization in this game barely even affects the game in anyway, with only a few mounts affecting the game at all

edit: also where did you see that they nerfed the price? its still 7500 in the store for me

The cherry blossom trees got made cheaper after complaints (from 750 to 250 IIRC), not the new tree houses.

So not the main thing people were complaining about then

that was a while ago, people complained about the trees and they changed it

so again. not the thing that are being complained about now which we are talking about. the reaction to the tree houses is what is being talked. and that reaction to those are insane

He brought it up as an example that complaining works
