User:GS4ALASTIR/Proposal: HESS Shopping

• The purpose of this entry is to provide suggestions for how to scale the offerings in the HESS to capture additional revenue from a larger percentage of the playerbase. The current all-or-none offerings may be leaving out a portion of the playerbase who would buy in at a lower price for a lower benefit/gain. The goal would be to make it more affordable for lower end gear, so everyone gets a chance to participate and not feel left out.

The discounts provide a reduction in price of

75% for gear up to 5x (+25) and 5 CER (150 services)

50% for gear up to 7x (+35) and 10 CER (150 services)

with everything else remaining the full and current price.
