Tucsonjon said: Common sense alert: Offer BOTH price points to EVERYONE. Nobody would have any reason to be upset and you still get all needed relevant data. (I didn't even finish my degree and figured this out quickly)
Borstock said: Qubort said: You assume they knew there would be backlash and the level of it. Companies miscalculate customers responses all the time. See Pepsi for an example. I can't understand why you're so convinced that D3/Demi have the perfect pulse of the games community just because they have data we don't have. Nerfs do happen. However, never to a character as you stated people had pumped thousands of dollars or hours into. Also, off the data they've shared, didn't make a rational reason. OML wasn't the strongest player but a good utility player. Does this move encourage anyone to invest money into other characters? Once again you are drawing conclusions to fit your argument. You have zero evidence they knew there would be backlash. You also have zero evidence they're not idiots. Perhaps they were given a quota to hit for the quarter and are trying to hit without any thought to the long term impact. We don't know and they won't tell us. You have a lot of blind faith in a company that's had a rough few months. I hope you're right, but colour me skeptical. To your third paragraph - I don't have zero evidence. They're professionals working for a 15 year old company. I don't think it's unfair to assume they could have expected people would be upset about a nerf and about two different price points for the H4H store. To assume otherwise is ridiculous.

Flume said: Any plans to fix the price disparity?
There is nothing to "fix".
They'll run this for however long they need to gather the data they want, then settle on a price point.
Everyone will get the same then.
The A/B testing for vaults vs no vaults for PVE ran 2-3 months I think, so don't hold your breath.

Your evidence is the company is 15 years old?
