Why Is Platinum So Affordable?

I just had burger and chips delivered to my house. It was awful and tasteless and cost me £9. Next time I'll cook and buy a new Warframe instead.

 

Platinum is rather good value. If only others could see this. The shoes i could have bought were those nice air ones that cushion as you walk. They were £150. I took the difference and bought platinum and have been having a great time ever since. I used to spend a minimum of £30-£40 a month on games so i think Warframe is great value. I can play free and also get something shiny once in a while with my platinum. 

 

Also nice to support a brilliant games company. Was just what i was looking for. No AAA title i bought in the last 5 years has lasted me more than a day or so. Diablo 3 being the only excepetion.

 

 

I'd be more inclined to purchase more platinum if the developers stopped letting the desire to increase platinum sales lead to poor game design decisions.

I agree air is better than Platinum. This is always a given.

Take aways are not a requirement of life. If you cook instead you can save money and use that saving somewhere else. I chose Platinum.

Clothes and shoes are only needed in the civilized world due to legal reasons. I would go naked if i could and buy more Platinum.

You would only need Platinum for sentinel skins and avatars. You can play the game and receive everything else for free.

 

As for things that make you feel good. You can compare these things, always. Ie: i was going to get an escort around this weekend. £130 for an hour. I saved the money instead and bought £130 of Platinum. I bought loads of Warframes and weapons and some sentinel skins. I'm still using these bought items 5 days later. I was glad i made this decision. I really enjoy Warframe and would like to maximize my enjoyment of the game.

 

I spend 12 hours a day gaming. 6 hours on my sofa watching TV and 6 hours sleeping in bed. I would buy a cheap bed and buy Platinum with the saving as this would make more sense per hour of the day i would benefit from it. I also have a huge surround sofa. I would sleep on this for a month and buy more games or in game cool stuff. Your bed argument is flawed in regards to me.

 

fair enough, good beds can be expensive, but so can good sofas, and most people would rather sleep on a bed.

 

I hope this answers all of your points KvotheTheArcane1. Feel free to pm me instead of dragging this thread on. I'm sure the moderators are sick of having to come here and see my drivvle everytime someone posts 0_o

Nah I'm probably done after a few last things, (I just feel you're trolling here now.)

 

You would SERIOUSLY rather go get more plat and go naked? And where do you get your money? Or were you born rich?

(12 hours gaming, 6 sleeping, 6 watching TV, 0 for work (12 + 6 + 6 = 24), so I'm done (mostly), as we can't convince each other, so we'll have to agree to disagree, and probably argue again in another thread is my guess (or here a little more).

 

(also, after a certain point you don't need platinum, which I beleive a GM pack ALMOST covers, and 130 pounds should cover what the GM pack doesn't (true buying more does support the game more))

Not sure if god tier troll

my guess is this (until I saw the last bit), I always try and debate with them which almost never works out :/

 

Raging fanboy

this would not be far fetched, look at other games with their diehard fanboys, no reason WF wouldn't have some somewhere.

 

Or...

Some sort of hovercraft. Most likely option of them all however. Either this or nano machines. Or lupus. Always lupus or nano machines. Unless it's nano lupus.

Catch 22 this. They need money to improve the game. If we don't spend the game cant improve. The game is flawed and buggy i agree. 

 

This thread aims to find a solution.

Not a catch 22 for me, I already put in more money than I would have for a AAA title, you too by the looks of things. Time for them to put our money where their mouth is and make the game we believed in enough to invest in.

I bought new shoes for £50 and they lasted me 2 months.

I bought Boltor for £5 and it lasted 2 months and i still use it !

 

And I bought a $1 keychain and it lasted me for 8 years...  WTF is this crappy logic you're using?

If we're to go by that logic, it still doesn't defeat the point that I can still buy full (high budget) games for less than I can buy a single warframe for.

 

Hell, if we want to go further into the "lasted me X years" thing, we can bring up miniature wargaming. For $100, I can buy a full force in Infinity that will last me decades. And there is no possible way for Warframe to outlast that.

Update 8 it is then. We live in hope.

Sorry i can not compare your crappy key chain as it was only $1 and lasted far longer than Warframe has been available to download.

 

I could try compare it to a haircut or dog food for you. Let me know in a pm though. This thread will get me in trouble with he who shall not be mentioned...If it continues.

 

The topic is about the value of platinum. I believe its great value.

hey, you started the stupid comparisons, and he's doing exactly what you are, i.e. comparing 2 completely different items (key chain to platinum). so suck it up and admit it's a stupid idea the way you compared stuff (i.e. shoes to platinum).

I could edit my original post from shoes to lickable poison frogs and make you all look stupid talking about shoes. This would also be a stupid idea as you put it. 

 

I used a comparison. You do not agree with the comparison i used but continue to troll my post with comparisons between sofas and crocodiles and the very air we breath. I am at a loss to explain myself to you and feel an urge to compare you too a women's thing and a face. 

 

I'll try again. I paid around £1500 on Diablo 3 and played for around 1 year. I managed to top the diabloprogress chart for crit damage on my demon hunter. I paid around £250 on Warframe platinum and GM package and have been here for 2 months and had many success's. I enjoyed Diablo 3 like a dog enjoys chasing cats. I'm enjoying Warframe like a poo throwing monkey.

 

My point is simple if not hard for you to understand. I can compare Platinum to many other real world and gaming things. Whatever i compare it to i always come back to the same thought... Platinum is good value.

I am at a loss to explain myself to you and feel an urge to compare you too a women's thing and a face. I was using the exact same comparison type you were... something that didn't make sense to compare, so why not compare everything ever? You're trying to compare something physical and has real value. If warframe shuts down tomorrow, what do you have for the money you spent on it? Nothing, it's gone forever (probably, unless warframe starts back up)

 

I'll try again. I paid around £1500 on Diablo 3 and played for around 1 year. I managed to top the diabloprogress chart for crit damage on my demon hunter. Kinda beside the point, but I was top in WoW for dps rogue, mage, and best tank NA. See I can make claims too. (aka, got proof? (and mine are obviously made up))

Platinum is good value. Sure, but they MAKE NO SENSE TO COMPARE, like comparing gators to sofas, you just can't do it well, just like shoes and platinum! they don't compare well!

 

/disscus which you are stifling by being stubborn and being a hypocrite, why can you compare shoes to platinum, but we can't compare keychains to platinum? Or sofas, or beds, or food, or anything? And ok, lets indulge you and compare shoes. I spent $30 on my shoes, and generally get between a year and two years worth out of them ATLEAST, that's damn good value, however for the same price, I can get a warframe... A/ONE/1 warframe. That not enough for you? Ok, league of legends then, I can spend $30 and get 5 of the top costing champs, I can get more if I decide to get ones that don't cost quite so much obv, that's a MUCH better deal.

Also, just curious where do you get your money? It'd be hard to support your gaming habits without a job. (You spend 12hours gaming, 6 sleeping, and 6 watching TV (you said so yourself))

*Shrug* These days I live in cynicism. Between DE completely ignoring my 'handspring should not be a mod' thread monster, Vauban and the glaive being only obtainable through alert missions and the latest rare mods being tacked onto platinum packs, the only thing I really expect to see out of update 8 is more game design choices sacrificed for the sake of platinum sales.

Or we can tell them that they're massively overvaluing the amount of money the majority of people are going to spend, and the business model is being held together by grandmasters and people who are extremely invested and extremely devoted to keeping this game alive, biasing their numbers way the hell upwards compared to the conversion rate they'd get during release?

 

If you can sell something worth $25 to 1 person but something worth $10 to 3 people and that thing is free to produce, you make way more money in the latter case. There is a pretty significant reason that outside of Monoclegate nobody has tried pricing "microtransactions" along the CCP model. Sure, they might nickle and dime you to death in 'pay2win' games, but the transactions themselves are still micro.

 

You can 'tell' them anything you like.

Their "fix" to the market place issue will be to remove the credits option on weapons and BPs. Then double the plat price of every item.

I was a Hitman in the early 80's. Spend some time in prison. Invested well while in the joint. Become a mini euro pornstar (mostly in Belgum) during the 90's. My initial invest in the 80's came good in the early 2000's so i have been secure ever since. I don't kill or maim people anymore or put my mans thing into places it shouldn't be while cameras are rolling. I am comfortable and like to support people who make good games.

 

I don't even into this thread?

 

 

No seriously, what the F*** is this about.

OP can you stop trolling the children... you're making their brains hurt.

The thread is about Platinum being good value in real money terms. Did you even read anything or just come to accuse me of being a bridge dwelling child eating monster?

Don't do this to me;

Don't wave the bait in front of my head.

The mind is strong, but the arsehole is stronger!
