Pretty much a broken record here, but I'd be far more OK with the price if a couple skins went 50% off every week so they would be $10 normally and $5 every so often. Weekly sales on select cosmetic items are common in many F2P games.

Weekly sales on select cosmetic items are common in many F2P games. Its basically the same request but if CCP feel that's the way to go then fine, I just done agree with cosmetic items in a game costing so much when i know exactly how much work goes into making them. not to say the asset creators are lazy but once the pipeline is setup they can pump out skins every week for very little effort
Oh I agree that $10 is too high, but sadly Marketing is the ones that set the price, and they're basically assholes.
If they're set on the $10 base price....fine, but the skins simply will not sell well if they're $10 all the time. Sales are good, it encourages a sense of urgency and causes people to want to impulse buy...it's kind of how they stick gum in the check out line at stores, because its cheap and you don't have much time to think about if you want it or not because you'll be checking out soon, so people typically just impulse buy it.

Totally agree. It's similar to Little Big Planet who sold many items for under $5, many of which were $1. I spent more money on that game than I normally would, simply because I never thought twice about $1 purchases and they added up quickly, but overall I was more satisfied because I felt like I got a lot of content for a great price.
Dust on the other hand tends to price things much higher and I am often far more reluctant to spend money on it simply because of the higher price.

2K Games EVOLVE has been a massive flop this year due to the ludacris price tag on content.
Oh God EVOLVE....
12 Hunters at launch
3 Monsters at launch
$60
DLC pack
4 Hunters
$25
1 Monster
$15
Nothing like buying a DLC set that costs 2/3rds of the original price of the game but comes with 1/3rd of the content.

I pretty much show up to get credit for EVOLVE events and then ignore it until the next event.
I mean the game can be fun as long as you don't get boned by some of the glaring glitches/balance issues but it lacks the 'fun factor' that makes me want to sit down and play it for hours on end.
