Aherm, era... costs like 100k to buy a minigun. Please, stop. :shy:
Gives ol' west more of a business.

Lol and in ol'west it costs 100k for a gun that previously was less than 15k. We didn't sell the minigun for 30k and then increase its price by 8x, so I don't see what your argument is.
And in terms of a business, as others stated nobody will want to spend 100k for a gun once they found out it used to be 15k. Especially when to be honest, wests gun graphics/animations are very lacking, so there is no "cool" factor a lot of people take into consideration when buying something. So your business infact will go down.
As someone else suggested the best course of action would have been to balance the guns already out, and then release the new, more expensive tier guns as newer guns, so that way nobody is disadvantaged.

It is too bad that this change was not made earlier in development.
Raising prices and having expensive guns does not kill the chances of getting new players at all tho.
If you remember era raised prices back when it started as well.

And yea era did change its prices, but they were nowhere near as significant as it was in west, and it was done very early on in development. The highest change was the m4/ famas price changed from 5k to 55k, and it was only on 1-2 guns, not every gun.
Also event coins and the items given out for winning event before there were coins is nowhere near as significant as wests changes once again, only a very, very small portion of people got the event items for winning singular events before the ec store, whereas since the prices in west for guns were fairly cheap, most older players probably have close to all of them
