I don't know where do you get the idea that you can say who deserves and who doesn't deserve something, In all honesty I would've preferred you criticized my services at least I can use that as feedback rather than you blatantly stroking your ego in my thread

First of all, I'd like to say thanks for your post I love the feedback.

As you can see, pricing/making a profit out of Boss Runs and stuff is a little more difficult than pricing an item, otherwise this thread would've been up weeks a go.My main problem lays as you suggested on pricing, I need a number that is both "fair for the costumer" and profitable to our players.After some consideration we discovered that 2 players is the optimum number, why?

For us it means, significantly Weaker Vanaduke and a better payout for our participants, overall more efficient.

For the costumer it means, they can bring along a friend, I think I didn't touch or emphasized on this enough but say you both go 50/50 on the cost of the run(s) suddenly the prices arn't that expensive anymore if you co-operate with somebody else.

Back to what I was saying of Service VS Profit is that because the profits need to be divided up between our players but still within a "affordable" reach for the costumer creates a problem especially because like you mentioned before there won't be a lot of players that will just do 1 or 2 runs but would like to invest in it multiple times this again makes it hard to set up a price where we would benefit from providing service repeatedly vs people being able to afford it, It might be different if we needed the Tokens ourselves but we don't as some of you can already tell.With the full runs it gets even trickier it needs to be more than the first option of course and on top of that you need to have it where you don't get bombarded by request and having to complete a million runs for minimal profit I do admit that not everybody can afford this and its more of a placeholder than anything else.

Like I stated at the end of the post the price may/will change I just need to figure out a good number(especially for the full runs), for now though I feel the best option is splitting the cost with a friend.But again I appreciate the feedback & support.

@Deecee
Thanks for the feedback, A part of the problem is consistency, its not like we just happen to be on Vanaduke and decided to charge X amount, we will go down for you as many times as you pay us for, we're selling you our own time as well that could be spent doing something else so I need to make the price attractive to both the costumer and the player doing the runs.I do understand the point you're making though its not the run itself is completely unprofitable by itself.

@jeburk
I like the outlook you give it, to the whole thing.And I also have to highlight this If you think it's too much, try and negotiate when you whisper them , we are always open to negotiation and I love a player than can take it upon himself to try and work out deal.I can respect that.

Apart from that I altered the prices a little bit nothing huge yet, still working on it.I'd also like to mention for players to be aware that we're willing to do 27th floor with them since a lot of people have issues with that floor.

Hey, I had thought about what you said about the discounts or some type service for people who don't need as much help(but just extra bodies/dps) the problem is there really isn't a way to tell unless you run Vanaduke with the person a few times, which is why I mentioned the Possible extra services for "2nd timers" etc.

And I'll give your Rates by # Floor idea some thought that might be worth looking into.

Again thanks for the feedback

Of course, theres people that rather do it themselves, or people who have a guild already that can provide assistance.This service is clearly not aimed towards them.Beleive it or not theres A LOT of players who prefer playing solo, this service is aimed towards people who want to acquire some seals without having to go to the trouble of forming a team that can run it efficiently, apart from misc options like Jeburk mentioned to get Experience on the boss, or to finish off the last few seals you needed,etc.

As it goes the people that we have helped arn't completely hopeless in the game they just lack a proper team, and since there seems to be talk about it.With us nobody should be wasting CE on reviving at all.

I really dont understand why some people seem to think they have a right to criticize players that can or cannot do Vanaduke, everybody plays on their own pace nobody cares if you killed vanaduke on your first try with 2* equipment without being hit once.

Again this is a completely optional service its not like we're somehow forcing you to buy it, If you don't like the price then dont buy it unfortunately we're not some Sweatshop e-farmers that will work ourselves to the ground for little gain we also want to have fun. I hope some of you consider that when you think about weather" its "overpriced" or not.

Combuster is at most of what we call a "poorman's alternative" like it was mentioned above the Fang's Charge is its main draw that being said all of Vanaduke Items(Ancient Set & Fang of Vog) are more so "Vanity" Items than "the best items ever"
