This is called “modern marketing”
First you put in your shop only 4 things to buy, stone, salt, sand and dung. People will buy them just to have something different than other people, to feel special. Buying stone, doesn’t look like they expected, so trying the next one and still the same dissapointment. You can’t test it properly before you buy it, you can’t refund even straight after you bought it, even if it was a misatke. So you ended up with 4 useless things, which you dont even like, but it cost you in total 40 euro.
Then the seller is adding something a little bit more tasty, for example simple water, so ofc a everyone is going to buy it, but the water is just a water, nothing special, but you bought it for 15 euro
Next time they put on the table a water with sugar and colored dye. It’s still not good, but the other things you already have are so bad, that you need to try this one and gonna pay 20 euro for it.
Too many complains from your customers? Nobody buying your stone anymore, because they can buy straight something a bit better? Ok not a problem. Put all the 4 basic things in to 1 packet which in total price gonna be 10 euro, bam you sold again the same for different group of customers who wudnt buy a single stone for 10 euro, but 4 in package they will do.
So this method you may sell garbage for years and at some point you will reach the level of selling honey and ferrari, but before it happend people will spend 1000 euro + the ferrari which is let say 40 euro.
Just look now, if they let the players to buy straight after game is realeased a ferrari, they will sell it once to you for 40 euro and this is it. You gonna have what you love and not gonna buy anything else, they can’t bait you again with something better, because you arready got something what is the best.
So as i said, can’t expect anything better for now, and it’s totally fine, i hope they gonna keep doing it and do not change this game in to pay to win.
