    The rumors claim she isnt brought back because of the voice actor.

    They brought logan back out of the blue they could do the same with zojja.

    If they cant answer the question I guess it would be nice if they just say "were not willing to answer" or something.

    I dont see whats the big secret...

And as long as 1000 players do spend extra, why would they care that you as one person might miss an opportunity to spend left and right? To accommodate you they would miss the extra spending of the 1000 players. Not worth it.

    >

    > Like I said, the numbers are made up but clearly they are looking for the best situation for their sales. The same goes for their pricing. If something costs 800 gems and they sell 1000 of them that's 8000 gems. Then people complain it's too expensive and more people would buy it if it was 400 gems. But then when they go to 400 gems they sell 1500 of them and that's 6000 gems. So 500 more sales but 2k gems less in revenue. It's the same idea in the end.

    >

    > Whatever the exact ratio is I'm sure it's not 1:1000 either but it is significant enough to do it the way they do. Simple business decision.

     

    Its weird to me that they came to that conclusion, every other MMO I know doesnt use this tactic.

    But obviously there are a lot more sales they miss that way...I guess they think they will miss more sales If it will be available all the time.

    I dont think its a 1:1000 ratio but hell even a 1:1.2 ratio is huge.

    But if I want something that isnt available right now I cant get it....by the time it becomes available I might miss it or change my mind.

    What? Where?
