    It makes perfect sense, since this is a one time purchase. It makes you feel smart for figuring it out, and it makes you spend money on the store. And since you spend money once, you are more likely to spend it again.

      Gets your feet wet in spending! Haha you're right though, but it's still an incredible deal, $11 for 6 months of $10 for 1 month is a huge difference. Also if you're like me and are used to paying for WoW sub, a one time payment of $11 is definitely nothing for that kind of "savings". I'm a total noob and don't even know if I need the stuff the aura give me, but for $11 I'm sold tbh.

    @ProtoZealott 3 ปีที่แล้ว +153

    This deal isn't a mistake, it's a hook. The goal is twofold, one is to get people that aren't sure about spending to cross that line, which makes future purchases easier. With the second being to keep light spenders around longer, making them more likely to keep spending. It's a pretty common tactic in f2p games to have one or two 'great' deals like this, with the rest of the shop aimed at whales. Keep in mind it also only seems like a 'crazy' deal because the rest of the virtual shop, the thing they run and can easily change costs so much more.
    That said, at the end of the day it's a business, and people got bills to pay.

      And knowing all of this, it was still an instant buy for me. it's 2600 blue crystals after all. I'm not going to be spending $10 on a little pet. But i'm sure at some point in the next weeks or months they will release "this awesome cool mount" or "this super cute pet" that I'd like to have. Then i'll feel much better spending those crystals instead of paying the full price.

    To be honest, I spend a certain amount of money per 40 hours of a game I play. Typically $10 if it's free to play (because I'm cheap). Like with League, I buy a skin once a month. This bundle doesn't seem bad at $11 considering I already have 10 hours in the game and don't intend on stopping.
    This is me justifying my purchases.

      If you spend money once you're likely to do it again. Very common trick in F2P games (especially Mobile games). "Good" deal is relative. If you were going to spend the money anyways, then yes, it's a good deal. If you weren't going to spend the money, then you're not "saving" anything, you are spending money, just like they want you to do.

    Ah I know this tactic. Genshin Impact (and Honkai Impact) have a similar thing, but it's more about logging in than leveling up. You pay 5 bucks for 30 days worth of their cash currency drip fed to you per day, and the value ends up being much higher than directly purchasing the cash currency normally - so long as you log in *every day*. I'll admit it's a smart F2P tactic, and pushes those who would typically stay as a free player into a paying one. It also pushes players to log in every day, thus more player retention and inflated numbers.
    Lost Ark's may be only a one time purchase, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do something like this again.

    Its a "once buyable" item, so its a "foot in the door" technique. So if you used the aura für 6 months you don't want to play without it anymore and have to buy the much more expensive offers. On the other hand, is there so much content to play longer then 6 months?

    it's great for anyone that already purchased the gold or plat founders pack since they come with 4k and 7k crystals. The gold is $50 and you get $40 worth of crystals and 1 month of the aura, use those to buy this and you end up with 6+1 month of aura =7 months aura at $10 regular price you are getting $70 worth of crystaline aura or 7 months of it plus 2900 crystals worth $29 all for $50. Do the math that's a $99 value for $50. If you see yourself playing this long term, the Gold founders pack was a no brainer.

    I don't know if they fixed this but now it's not a super great value anymore. I mean, it's still good. But you can't just buy $11 in crystals to buy this bundle. You have to spend $20 on crystals. There's only the option to buy 1000 for $10 or 2200 for $20. So, while you need to drop $20 to get it now, you'll still have half of your crystals left from your initial purchase. So it's still pretty worth it? You just need to be okay with spending $20 instead of $11.

      People will spend money thinking that they made a "profit", because they purchased something for a price way lower than usual, thus creating the illusion that they're smart, but in the end, they spend real cash anyway, so the developers successfully introduced the player base in their microtransaction model, gain a lot of money from it, and made their player base think they're smart so they'll be open for more future "smart" deals.

    This is the "Rank Up" style of monetization you see very often in Mobile Gacha games and other free to play games. It'll never be removed because it's designed as a double pronged hook to get you to invest more into the game. By having insane value but also gating it behind progress, not only does a pack like this get you to spend money on the game, but it gets you invested to play all the way into the end game to get your money's worth.
    For the average player, yes this pack is extremely worthwhile to buy, but just be careful, as the first purchase can lead to a slippery slope and if your spending habits are difficult for you to control, it can lead to problems.
    As for the pack itself, it'll likely stay a permanent one time purchase, but it *MIGHT* refresh on events and major content updates.

    The reason this is profitable for the company is they expect people will spend real money, far more than $11 to purchase the required gems, and those gem packs are conveniently $10 for 1000 gems which is not enough for the pack, $20 for 2200 crystals, and $50 for 5750 crystals.

    Ehh, its more like costing 20 bucks, since you have to buy the $20 crystal pack. This thing costs 100 more than the $10 crystal pack, so you are forced to go up. Even if you get other things, you are required to get the $20 pack, even if there isn't anything else you want to buy.
    This is especially true since this leaves you with 1100 crystals after purchasing this pack, which isn't enough to actually buy anything. So you would need to spend more money to purchase anything else.
    Now, I think 20 bucks for 6 months of premium is a good deal, but this was obviously done to get people to spend 30+ and get people used to spending in the store.
