I think a lot of shop items are too expensive but otherwise I think prices have gone far far down on stuff compared to a few years ago

i feel the credit items are OK priced, but i remember before there was a decent range of cheaper to expensive items for popdollars in the shop

I just think 20+ cr for shop items that are available indefinitely is too much. I can easily pay 200++ for items that aren't in the shop, but its just too much for unlimited shop items regardless of the quality imo, idk. Wish more were popdollars too, easier for new ppl to get clothes that way, I don't care that popdollars aren't woth anything when selling amongst users, but in the shop it could be more pd heavy

i've been active on vp since 2016ish and i rarely used pd for anything other than bodyguard

the issue with more expensive stuff nowadays is that there's less ig sets + less people enter competitions so less prizes are distributed. also sb mentioned tons of people are inactive which makes a huge number of items inaccessible

just a couple days ago i was wondering how on earth sb would earn cr if they were to join vp today. i'd definitely give up after a day

yup def. i was lucky to win some sets and sell them as soon as i reached the right level for it- idk how new players do it tbh.

yessss i agree. for someone who just started, the prices in the store truly are expensive (credit wise). ur right on that one.
I have something over 400 CR and some stuff is expensive for me, I can't imagine how it is for those who have zero CR and aren't a high enough level to maybe sell some stuff they got over codes, wof or game sets :c

the prices in fashion shop have been fairly consistent over the years, but yea theres a lot more cr sets/items there now, compared to how it used to be. it's tricky cuz you want stuff to be accessible for new users but you also want the shop to function as a currency 'outlet' in a way, cuz the amount of credits being spent each month needs to match the amount of cr being bought each month n whatever so the inflation doesnt get out of hand. which it has to a degree, especially w pd theyre so useless now

omg yes. pd literally only have use for bodyguards, as Glowed mentioned
i wonder how everything will progress when it comes to the currencies. it would be such a shame if vp turns into a p2w site :c

there's auctions too! so its good to have some on hand in case the pd set is to your liking

i guess it is p2w to a degree, cuz the gameplay functions here wont get you far, but playing free is still entirely possible :3 just far more tedious
