You guys love to over complicate things and exaggerate. All of you can say $4 is alot of money when you know that its not lol. Like I said I seen homeless people make more in their begging cups.

Do you actually think that A HOUSE MOM WITH 5 KIDS WITH NO MONEY IS ONLINE PLAYING SMITE RIGHT NOW? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HOUSE MOM IS THE AVERAGE PLAYER LOL!!!

Seriously do you actually believe that 3/4 of the people on smite cannot spend $4 on time in their life and not worry about it? Quit over exaggerating. Its $4 and the average smite player is not from iran or some house mom with 20 kids who has can't get a $4.

How do you expect Smite to be a FREE TO PLAY game without cashable things?
I once played a game called Grand Chase because my friend played the game. I use to hate on the fact that people would spend money on the game but then I realized I couldn't complain because the only reason games are FREE TO PLAY alot of the time because even with it being free to play they make money from the same people saying they won't buy anything.

LOL Stop over exaggerating so much, 98% of EVERYONE who plays smite can afford $4 and it won't hurt their food, wallet, kids, ect. I pay $0 for rent and live in the projects I'm tired of your over exaggerating on you guys trying to act like 99% of the people on smite can't get $4. My brother goes to college, pays for a 2006 honda civic, has bills and pays alot of money on his girl friend. He pays for college books plus works a part time job at giant eagle.

HE OWES ME MONEY and he can still afford to pay me even after he has gotten tickets.
I guess me coming from the projects and not having rich parents makes me hate the fact when people I know have more money than me act like its so hard when I can do these things like get $4 so if the average person on smite can't or 98% of the population on smite can't TOO DAMN BAD.

Whats next the skins will be 1 penny and people will say that some guy who got lost in the rain forest can't afford it because he has no money and 1 penny is just too much? For gods sakes we are talking about FOUR DOLLARS !!!

Btw for a free to play game smite has a bunch of free things.
THEY DO HAVE SKINS AKA RECOLORS AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MONEY
YOU CAN BUY GODS WITH FAVOR YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MONEY.

Btw I already agreed that if they refund us our money or give us gems and make the voice packs cost alot tnen I will be fine with it.

But you can't sit here and try to convince me that 99% of the people who play smite can't get $4. What the hell, do you think 99% of the people who play smite are cavemen?

I do think 99% of SMITE players are cavemen. They sure act like it at least!

Jokes aside, you're missing my point. Some people have different priorities. I'm not arguing that people absolutely CANNOT/NEVER afford to spend $5.00 on the game. Like I said, it's within the realms of possibility for anyone to earn the money and spend it as they choose. However, some people, like myself, who budget don't want to spend money on games at the moment because they have other goals in mind.

For these people it is preferential to have the option to earn things at the cost of investing more time in the game. And you have to remember, for an E-Sport game this is a GOOD thing, the more dedicated its player base is, the more likely it is the game will succeed.

As far as refunds go, they wouldn't give your money back. It's unlikely they will ever change the system that is in place since it does have its merits and doesn't detract from the core experience. But assuming they did, they could debit your account with favor.

Anyway, I'm removing myself from discussing this with you since you seem to be turning a blind eye to my points and just restating your opinion over and over again. I just feel like falling in a loop is unproductive. But I have to say this, just because you live in the projects and do not have a lot of money doesn't give you the authority to tell others how to spend their money.

Dude, ICEN my sirious reaction on that would be stfu+gtfo.
Not everyone makes that lot of money (like nightmare stated) it does hurts some people's wallet and you know that not everybody is American or West-European and makes a lot of money. You are being very ignorant and while I believe that every1 here has a point you are presenting it the wrong way. You also had the exact same rant on skins so I don't know why you react like this while we didn't react like this to you. Even here in the Netherlands not everyone can afford themselves everything. I am sure that not everyone here has more money than you do btw.

Your missing the point, I don't have alot of money I just choose to spend the money I had on a skin. Its your choice what to do with your money if you want to buy a cheese burger from mcdonalds instead than people shouldn't complain. Trust me alot of people are out buying some mcdonalds right at this very moment!

So $4 hurts peoples wallets? ..... seriously people who are drug addicts spend that every day, they will find money by any means necessary.

My point is that anyone can get $4 and spend it without it hurting them.

Let me ask you this - IF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OVER $4 then WHAT IS THE POINT OF BUYING ANYTHING IN LIFE? If you can't buy something for $4 your pretty much screwed in real life there kids because
4 dollars compared to everything else in the world will make you see how right I really am.

Last time I checked spending $4 compared to $10 on a pizza is much more worth it.
Again I don't make alot of money, I don't even work, I help my uncle on occasions and I don't even make more money a year than someone who works at mcdonalds.

So what you guys are basically saying is someone like myself who has little money cannot tell you that $4 is not alot of money LOL. You guys are actually arguing that $4 is alot of money I cannot believe this! Like I said you can find that on the ground. If you want a skin that bad than just spend a day looking for dimes on the road I'm sure you can pick up $4 within a few days just by doing that nuff said.

BTW my rant on recolors was that it takes too long to get by using favor it had nothing to do with the BUYABLE SKINS OR VOICE PACKS so its irrelevent. Also why are you complaning because you can already buy recolors for free and you can already get gods for free.

BASICALLY YOU ALL EXPECT THE ENTIRE GAME TO BE FREE? Whos the real crazy person here? I guess I'm crazy that I thought $4 was attainable by 98% of people in america and 98% of the people arn't some guy in iran with no shoes playing the game.

- I have no job
- I live in the projects
- I make less money than someone who works for minimum wage in one year
- I spent about $113 on smite

$4 is not alot of money and the MAJORITY OF PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO SPEND IT. If $4 is alot to you than you are all screwed when you have to pay bills thats all I have to say. I guess you want the game completely free when its already a free to play game.

Lets be real here this is the problem :
You just don't want to spend $4 on a video game plain and simple, its not that you can't get $4 its that you would rather spend it on something else. I refuse to believe that the average person cannot afford $4, hell I am poor compared to the average person yet I can spend so much money on smite. The problem is if you don't want to spend money on the game just like you can do on any other game even for consoles than DON'T.

You know the other problem is your thinking of the minority and thats not how it works. Just because 1% of the people who play smite can't afford $4 doesn't mean that you change the entire game because of the minority who arn't even the majority of people who play. Thats like buffing/nerfing based on 1% of the population of smite instead of hearing more like 50% which is the average player.

You are right that the MINORITY can't get $4 oh maybe some kid who lives on planet mars for example but he only makes 1% of the population.
The MAJORITY CAN AFFORD IT.

My last statement is this :
ITS NOT HI-REZ FAULT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY THATS YOUR PROBLEM, GET A JOB.

Actually nuff said this proves I am correct that most people can afford skins

If people have a hard time getting a simple 200 gems then why do so many people have the buyable skins when you go in battle? Why do people have the voice packs? Exactly they spent money and alot of them spent alot of money on the game.

If it was so hard to get $5 then I would see less buyable skins on my loading screen that people bought.

We can end this easily though.

Ask Hi-Rez how much money people spend on their game thus far and you'll see that people have MONEY TO BLOW OH OH OH.

See how many matches you can play without seeing a buyable skin in the match. Exactly people have money don't be derpin around acting like the majority are poorer than me lol.

you are right almost everyone can pay for it.
BUT and here comes the big BUT!... so read closely.

THERE ARE BETTER THING'S IN LIFE TO SPEND MONEY ON THAN A COSMETIC SKIN IN A... VIDEO... GAME!!

ICEN can you get that trough that stuborn skull of your'se?

course you can't you would never tell us we may have changed your mind.

if you like a game and you want to help it and you like a SKIN for something and you have some money that you were not gonna use for a while and it would not hurt you in any possible way to spend it and there is nothing better to spend it on THEN PAY FOR THE GODDAMM SKIN AND BE DONE WITH IT.

seriously almost nobody will tell you they are that broke that the can't lay down 5 bucks for a skin BUT ALMOST EVERYBODY WILL TELL YOU THEY CAN THINK OF BETTER WAYS TO SPEND THAT MONEY THAN ON A COSMETIC ITEM IN A GAAAAAAAAAAAME!!

honestly not even a megaphone aplied directly to ICEN's ear's would get a point across when it proves him wrong so i don't even know why im trying with caps.

i hope that one day he tells us "i was wrong you were right" that will probebly never happen but i can dream.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

Actually people were not saying THEY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO SPEND IT ON. I already know that is the only reason people don't spend money is simply because THEY WANT TO USE MONEY ON SOMETHING ELSE for example I bet someone is getting a pizza at this very movement because they think a pizza is more important but it does taste good!

No, go re-read the post, nobody was really bringing up the fact that THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THEY JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE SPENDING IT ON SMITE.

What they are saying is that $4 is alot of money to some people.

In that case which people are these people because I am looking out my window right now from the projects guess what I see? I see cars, houses, kids with clothes, I see food, I see items, I see trees, I see gardens planted, I see lights outside, I see everything that cost more than $4.

I am not arguing that people don't want to spend their money on smite.

I am arguing that $4 is not alot of money to anybody including someone who is poor and what is your definition of poor because even a poor person knows $4 is easy to get.

Its your fault if you want to buy a cheese burger over a skin.

And you are thinking what do I care if its your fault for not buying the skin over the cheeseburger. Well it has to do with the thread.

THATS WHY THE VOICE PACKS SHOULD NOT BE FREE BECAUSE IT WAS YOUR CHOICE AND 99% OF THE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD $4 IF THEY WANT.

Notice IF THEY WANT. Its your fault IF YOU DON'T WANT TO when your capable of it.
In life you buy things, I can't just go complain I have no internet if I don't pay for it.

I can't complain that you have a candy bar but I don't because YOU BOUGHT IT and I CHOOSE NOT TOO. The same goes with the games, you can't complain that voice pack needs to be free just because I BOUGHT IT and YOU CHOOSE NOT TOO.

You have the money, it must not be too important to you if you can't afford 200 gems ONCE IN YOUR LIFE TIME. Which brings me to the second point. If its not important to you then why do you want free **** when the games already free and the gems are dirty *** cheap.

What do you need the gems to start lowering their price down to 1 penny or is that too much?

As far as I see it the payable things are things that should be payable

- You don't need buyable skins to play your free smite do you?
- You don't need buyable voice packs to play smite do you?

- You already have gods that you can get for free don't you?
- You can get exclusive skins FOR FREE CAN'T YOU?
- You already have skins that you can get FOR FREE DON'T YOU?
- You are playing a FREE TO PLAY GAME ARN'T YOU?
- Gems are Cheap compared to other things arn't they?

Basically I see people complaning that they can't get NICER PAYABLE THINGS.

Well thats the whole damn point of cash = nicer things, it doesn't effect game play in any way and smite still offers you free ways to play.

HOw I See it is the things you can get with cash are things that SHOULD BE for cash.
Or do you want to start paying to play the game instead?

And thats MY POINT, its your fault if you don't want to buy something from a video game. You have the OPTION and are not forced to buy anything. If you want nice things you have to pay this isn't new and smite isn't the only game that has the OPTION to buy things.

I just don't understand why you need everything for free when the main parts of the game is free and the things that are buyable are things that should be buyable.

Like I said, I can't whine over any of you if you own a vehical and I don't.
I can't whine that you bought new shoes and I didn't.
I can't whine that you bought yourself a brand new video game from gamestop.

ITS YOUR MONEY IF I CHOOSE TO NOT USE MY MONEY THAT THATS MY FAULT.

Why must things that have no effect on gameplay be free I just don't get it.
I think people are just mad that they don't wanna spend a simple $5 on the game. Thats your choice its an OPTION and I'd rather have OPTIONS than no options and just be forced to pay for everything.

Basically people are saying :
There is the option to buy skins/voice packs

I want those but I have to pay for them

So now I'm going to cry even though they give you a free skins you can still get for free and the entire game is free.

So basically what people are doing is crying that they must pay in order to get something someone else doesn't have that didn't pay for it?

WELCOME TO REAL LIFE WHERE YOU NEED MONEY TO BUY NICER THINGS THAN SOMEONE ELSE
thats the whole point of money and the whole point of buying things.
