No. You don’t deserve any reimbursement.

This is conflicting.
The people who bought cosmetics were not worried about the price then shouldn’t be going forwards. It’s about holding your ground, if you would have waited and banded together then this wouldn’t be an issue. To say one should get credit isn’t totally true.
On the other hand if prices were suppose to be lower then yes, one should get money back.
I bet you there is at least several people who bought it because they wanted to troll those who wanted the price lowered or gone now crying they should get their money back.
You uh, do know that literally happens right? Touch grass lmao.
Yeah tbh and like I would be pretty irate.
Who would even spend money on a play like that?
It happens, but it shouldn’t.
If someone’s meal is bad, they should stop eating and ask for a refund, not eat the entire meal before asking.
When they eat the entire meal, it likely means there’s nothing wrong with it.
You haven’t seen many trolls, I’m guessing.

On the other side of the fence, if the prices go up should you be charged for the difference? XD

I know you’re joking, but that would be awful, and it wouldn’t work anyway.
Customers are asking to be given the difference because of bad timing, and companies are obliging them to gain favor with their customers.

True, but OP has also agreed that non monetary digital compensation, XP bonus tokens, would also suffice. Seeing as that really costs nothing at all in the grand scheme, it is an inexpensive way to garner some good faith with the community.

I’m trans, furry and 29, I’ve seen trolls. But damn, that’d be a different level.
Thing is, none of it costs anything. digital currencies are just Ones and Zeros. It takes absolutely nothing to say, “Hey so here’s the difference according to your purchases.” It is without expense.
I mean everything is a fiat currency rn anyway, but single video game specific currency that you cannot spend anywhere else is entirely fake and its value is entirely subjective, not objective.

To be fair, when they have worked out a 3rd party deal to sell XP tokens as a promotional, it does have a real world value, and effect, but the value in this sense is offset by the goodwill gained.
And it wouldn’t be offset by how much spent by individual. It would be a blanket amount across the board similar to Rockstar has done in the past.

Some trolls are definitely on a different level.
They wouldn’t be giving actual money back, so they’re sort of not losing anything they’ve gained, but they are still losing something.
If you spend $10-worth of credits on 2 items (assuming the prices drop to $5), they likely just lost $10.
However, as I’ve said, that’s probably better than losing customers, since even with the credits, people will likely continue spending money when they’ve run out of credits, which wouldn’t take long as long as they didn’t buy everything on the shop…

very bad take, man.
Surely you are happy with your items for the money you paid? That’s why you paid the price they were at? For a lot of us, we see the items and then we see the price and go “nope, that price isn’t right” and we don’t buy it. If you want to spend $30 on a flower on your head then good for you, you have every right to spend money how you see fit, but don’t expect any sympathy for having bad financial awareness bro

Yeah… “I spent the $20 to get the armor just to p*ss people off”. Or something like that.
Trollls be out there. It comes down to caring about the cosmetics. Some people don’t find any joy in collecting them or to be more precise, they like certain sets, yet just playing is what they are after.
While I do agree with you they’re not going to be giving away actual money it’s data it’s fake currency it’s not actual cash see the cash you spend on these items is not turned into credits it’s sent to the store the credits are something that is just put in game so the company wouldn’t actually be losing any money whatsoever if they were to give people some in-game credits because the in-game credits aren’t actual money
Also I haven’t purchased a single thing in this game and I don’t plan on it until they actually give something worthwhile that’s not ridiculously overpriced

Thing is a lot of F2P games will reimburse people for the difference especially if they do things like move an item from the shop to free use.
That said the main way companies do this is an at request option with a time frame, which is the most likely as some people like myself just put money into the game because tehy like it and don’t care about value to gain.
Yes I have a problem.

They’d be losing money from lost sales.
Though I guess you could argue that it’s not necessarily true that they would have bought whatever they used the credits on without the credits.
If they add everything from this season to the Battle Pass for $40, I’ll probably buy that, but I’m likely not going to buy anything otherwise.

They wouldn’t really be losing any money because it’s not like they’re giving those players free money they’re just giving them some in-game credits that those players will then spend in the store it’s not going to stop those players from spending even more of their actual money on the game

That’s true, but say that someone was going to buy a glowing armor set, a diving armor set and a knight armor set.
If they were given credits to buy two of the sets, they would still buy the other set, but the first two sets wouldn’t be bought with money.
So they would have lost the money that they would have otherwise gotten from two of the sets.

Not really because if they’re giving said player credits back that that person has already spent on an armor set that was more expensive they’re not losing any money because the person is already made a purchase for a set that was 20 bucks rather than one that was 10

Wow. And they call those of us wanting reasonable monetization/a complete game on launch “entitled”…
As many others in this thread have stated, you don’t see reimbursement for things going on sale after you buy them. So there’s no reason you should get reimbursement if they lower the prices of cosmetics.
