researchlab_2 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It seems that community valuates Wendy skins as the most expensive ones, out of all characters. And as much as I understand skisn for characters like Woodie or Wolfgang to be the cheapest, as they are picked rarely (even though Wolfgang is a good character, he's rarely picked in pubs). However, I also don't see Wendy being picked that often, so it raises a question: Why are her skins more expensive than the rest? Here are examples: https://imgur.com/a/hIVrAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supper happy with this change cuz some people are just way too f greedy to charge 40 Euros/dollars for a miserable skin... that's just literally scamming people.. So hey, character rework is also a smart move from Klei to finally put at end to weird overpricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem though is the lack of tradablility, which still should be in the game, but I guess it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we get one skin for free every day just for logging in.. you can get a lot of viable items to weave or trade My thinking is that klei is probs gonna try and make all items weavable with some seasonal additions and the trading system a bit on the side, but not like the main focus This is me speculating but the character update gave a pretty huge clue in which direction they are going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footman Crouch Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Skin collector, Anime fan, People that find her personality relatable, the classic.

I mean her quotes are full literary references and I guess a lot of people identify a bit with her personality... we all have felt at some point the loss of a person close to us and felt a little lost by it..

I.E.L Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Wendy and Wigfrid have the most expensive skins and there are multiple reasons why 1.Both of them are very popular characters 2.They are good characters for new players ( if you ask me ) 3.Their skins change their looks enough 4.One of them is #relatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seffard Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 If the price ends up being too high it means there are not many people selling it(because it's hard to drop) compared to the great amount of people willing to pay more for it(because people have their tastes).

Datanon Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 i'd say its due to high demand, since shes popular, as she caters to the sadboy/girl "feeling like dying lol" "same tbh" trend and she solves mob threats with ease (hounds, spiders and bees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are using a definition of the word "scam" that nobody else uses. Both the product and the price and completely clear to all parties at the outset, and both enter in the transaction of their free volition. This has absolutely nothing to do with scam. Now why some people would pay such a ridiculous price for a skin, that is a different question. Are they objectively wrong to do so? No, of course not, it is their money, and they can do with it what they want. Are they weird? Well you and I may think so, but so what? Certainly no more weird than people that spend thousands of euros/dollars/whatever on toy train models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterrkid Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think people are reading too much into wendy's popularity in pub servers. As was mentioned before she is VERY noob friendly play-wise. If the majority of arguments here were true we would expect her popularity to follow into the experienced player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a scam cuz there us no real justification to set 40 euros for a skin price... It's completely arbitrary... And based of greed Normal trade is fine.. I'm just saying some people make excessive profit of digital goods in game that costs less that a 40 euros skin... At least the collectors get a physical items they can ghold in their hands... Skins are digital.. And I think charging 40 euros for a Wendy skin cuz it's cool it's outrageous.. 2 hours ago, seffard said: If the price ends up being too high it means there are not many people selling it(because it's hard to drop) compared to the great amount of people willing to pay more for it(because people have their tastes). It's no coincidence the devs are retaking the market from thosebe included in their own shop.. I would rather pay 10 euros for a skinset including many skins directly by klei than paying 40 euros to a stranger for a rosette Wendy skin cuz that User decided to unilaterally charge that much money..

CaptainChaotica Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 She's the pretty one. She's the emo one. Aaaaaand, people have a crush on her even though they shouldn't. Sorry to say, but the "waifu material" post above is WAY TOO FREAKING TRUE among some parts of the fandom. YOU know who you are. (glares at them) Seriously, dudes, she's like, 10? But if you like her fancy head skins for her fashion sense, then sure! I mean, I'm not even a goth, and _I_ like her style. She's basically Elegant Gothic Lolita, especially in her Victorian outfit. I've been known to put Wendy-specific outfit pieces on other people (hi, Shadow-Willow!) when I didn't have a decent-looking dress otherwise... Personally I'm glad Willow is kinda UNpopular, as she's my old favourite from regular DS. More for me! ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
