Who would pay to buy a full set of 144 Nymphs?

Alright what do you guys think?

Would your answer change if you knew zanz was using it for whatever, or if you knew it was going directly to supporting game development?

If you're not willing to buy the full package of nymphs, what would you pay per nymph? Keep in mind a donation of $5 only gets you a shard, which are freely available on T50.

I would pay prefer 5.90 or 850$ for the full set.

Hmm.  Could previous donations count towards the purchase?   

[Huse]

I'd never pay for a game that I can play for free... and even if I wanted, right now I can't donate so.. lol I'm not gonna pay for nymphs.

I'd pay if it gave an exclusive card that cant be obtained through the spin thing

I think you might get more support for these kinds of ideas with a little more liberal pricing structure.  With smaller units being offered. 

The donation math is a little flawed.  People donate to reward the dev, and continue game development.  I think you can't assume that people are always donating for cards.

Entry level offering is $25.  That's too much.
I have no doubt that you could sell your Nymphs to a segment of the players at 17 cents each, but a 144 minimum bundle limits your takers.

$25 buys a number of full games on your average Steam sale.

Keep in mind that every single Elements player falls into the category of "Plays free games."

Keep also in mind that once you start selling advantages, it creates a rift between players.  Resentment leads to player loss.  You see it in all the "free to play, pay for advantage" web games out there.

Don't get me wrong, I am 100% behind the developer being able to make a living, and I support any number of indie game developers (168 Steam games alone), this idea needs some tweaking though.
