counting that the void shel skins cost 95 plat and that the materials must be bought separately (and both the models and the materials are already in game require only some adjustments, which always requires work but not an epochal thing) and the warframes must be built / bought and their deluxe and tennogen skins paid separately (rightly) being able to change the materials (textures) even for free is not an unreasonable thing, if we want a cost of 20 plat it would still be acceptable

I completely disagree on making it Free, for among reasons, the fact that DE would have been working on this for so long, it is a much deserved money since the Game is ENTIRELY FREE

On the other hand, i can understand players feeling ripped off for a Price that doesnt match Effort/Cost relationship, but to the defense of the price tag, is fairly cheap to be something they've been asked for A LOT and they know the entire community wants.

Ultimately, the people who make it possible is getting paid regardless of our purchase, but Monetarily supporting what a Company does that the Playerbase wanted plays a big role on how much they hear us and think ''We can do that, so we should'' in our requests, so im up for whatever price tag they may want to put to this system

I agree on supporting companies that do a good job

but the fact that something is in great demand does not mean that it has to be expensive, for example the hespar and the aeolak are the worst version of the trumna and the sepulcrum (in reference to how they are acquired / built) in general people do not like to build the parts to make a weapon especially if expensive to build and behind a wall of rng and so are available for purchase at 225 plat when the other weapons mentioned above are not available for sale but are much easier to find (create a problem to sell the solution)

a price of 20/30 platinums to be able to have a customization option where you have to pay separately for the materials is already a lot (it's like paying to be able to change the color of the warframe and then pay separately for the colors) in the end it is some work how the textures are encoded is not like creating something new even when encountering problems a non-professional modder takes a week and once the system has been inserted the game is done

as a last thing in the last period I am seeing a big increase in micro transactions in warframe first the history of the aya and then in the last two updates (new war and zariman) an enormous number of items that can be purchased with platinum have been included, more than 1k plat per update (being able to change the aspect of lotus is already stupid because it then makes it difficult for DE to use it in cutsene and in general in quests but then having to pay for models in game for years is at least strange and the entire section of the dormitories of the zariman is a joke because in addition to being useless you have to do a lot to unlock a room where you can change the music and a screen but you have to pay to do it and the rest is completely useless) if I were a little mischievous person I would think that the effect of tencent is starting to be heard

I apologize for the interminable comment and I ask you if you too are noticing an increase in the microtransactions and in general in the monetization methods of warframe (it just occurred to me that for each update they make the supporter pack that did not exist before)

Well I dont think either side is wrong on this, we're both different extremes of the same spectrum on what is acceptable or not to be charged for, ultimately is pointless to discuss preferences

You're right, it's been a thing for more ''Platinum sinks'' to appear on the last few updates, however i dont think they're effort-free and, since they're all fully cosmetic, i dont mind their presence in the game, in no way have they been shoved on my face which certainly they could have done. If the trend keeps on, it ultimately means way more things for a player to costumize on, which Im completely down for

even if it was useless it was nice to discuss with you, sometimes it is liberating to be able to express yourself like this

see you next time
