You don’t need to own everything in order to be happy. I’m a skin collector myself, so I need to be reminded of this. Be blessed.

Its a tough truth to accept sometimes…but it also makes the items and skins you so own that much more special

Instead of charging $5 to $80 per skin, why doesn’t Blizzard make the prices reasonable and encourage more people to become collectors? Same net revenue, but happier fanbase. 
I feel as if collection died when Overwatch Dos released. That’s the day I stopped, at least.

Sadly the whale that will buy every $100 dollar bundle makes them more the the random Joe chipping in $10-15 each month

Ok, you do have a point there. Why are those purple prisms so spendy! 
Before they went to the F2P model, I had just about every skin you could get via loot boxes. Only paid for two skins, The Pink Mercy and the Goat Brigitte skin. So I pretty much had zero OW league skins.
Now that cosmetics are pay walled and well… I’m not paying those absurd prices they are charging for skins, nor do I care for them. Haven’t seen a skin that I like better than the old ones I have since the model change anyways.
If the skins were more reasonably prices I might have a change of heart, but whales will always pay and Blizzard loves the money.

I stopped being a collector once skins began to cost money. Kinda takes the thrill out of it when you can literally just buy the collection.
Yeah!
When the Avatar collab came out, I wanted the whole collection. Avatar is one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. Sadly, I only had enough money at the time to get 1 skin, so I got Toph Venture. To this day, its one of my favorite skins in the whole game and everytime I use it, Im happy I at least got Toph Venture

I haven’t done any market research, but my idea was to get more random Joes chipping in by offering fair prices & bundles, it might even bring enough positive karma to the game to create more net revenue than OW2’s whaling.
Exactly!! Make the prices fair and get more people to become collectors
Farmed pretty much 99% in ow1 and got the owl mvp skins. But once ow2 dropped, I had to call quits as paying for skins I don’t like feels just wrong. Know when to quit.
define what a ‘fair’ price is first, because without that the point is moot. is a fair price the cost of coffee at home vs starbucks? fair is an opinion in this sense
karma does not exist, and karma does not generate revenue

The new lootbox system really made it much easier to relax on having the feeling or urge to collect. Now I can just wait to get it in a lootbox if it’s a shop skin.
I’ve also refrained from feeling like I need to spend my BP mythic tokens on the season mythic now that they are on a shop rotation and not exclusive to the season! Which allows me to buy Mythic weapons for heroes I play from the extra tokens I get if I don’t play the hero who has the seasons mythic.
“Fair” isn’t $20 per skin like it is now, maybe $5 or $10, and the pricier ones sitting around $30-40 should be bundles that come with some other goodies like an icon, spray, name plate, etc. Helldivers 2 has a great model but they also have the advantage of an upfront cost. I’m saying instead of making people angry by overpricing everything, make it fair & painless so people want to collect every new thing that comes out.
Positive karma definitely brings revenue. The current system’s price-gougey and Blizzard’s reputation is gone, so I’m not spending a dime on the game.
cost of a single coffee in some shops
the pricier ones do come with additional features (not all the ones you listed mind you)
no it doesnt. you dont buy skins because you simply cannot afford one. same reason i dont own a private jet

You’re not making sense, I can afford the current prices, but I don’t want to financially support Blizzard and a single skin is a bad way to spend $20. I was just saying what would make me personally consider converting to a paid player.
There’s no point arguing so I’m not replying any more
having a different opinion is now arguing? wow
