High Pressure Sale Pitch
The 50% item is going to get plenty of rage posts.
This thread is to explore a slighly different angle of the offer which should attract just as much rage - high pressure sales tactics.
The item is a show stopping game unbalancing boost. Plarium hope we will all buy it through simple fear that our enemies are buying it and we need to do the same to keep up. it's horrible exploitation we know that much already.
But the sale is also on for a limited time of 7 days. This is to add added fear that if you don't buy now you may never have the chance again and will be permanently at a massive disadvantage. The aim to tilt you to not thinking rationally about your spending but to buy in panic, haste and fear.
We are entrusting our hobbies to Plarium. They return the honour by conducting physiological warfare with us.
If you continue to treat your players in this cynical and utterly greedy short term way YOU WON'T HAVE ANY LEFT SOON. I can promise you there will be no long term loyalty to your brand for sure.
Most long term players (you know the ones that are heavily "time" invested in the game and therefore make up a high proportion of your spender) are close to quitting already. For the love of the game don't do things to push them over the edge.
Stop treating us like **** on your shoe. We are people, we are your customers, we should be cherished and valued.
