Why is this Plague skin this expensive?
I was just browsing the Plague cosmetics and I noticed that this skin:
Is twice the price of this skin:
But basically they have the same design with only the colors and fabric patterns changing? Why is the first one double the price? it makes no sense. The headpiece is the exact same shape, same with all other parts.
I know that at tier one, the cheapest skins are simply color reworks of the base skin. And at the second tier we get shame shape with possible extra patterns on the fabric but same exact model. It doesn't make sense why both aren't priced at 6480 iri shards (and 324 auric cells).
What gives? Am I missing something? I tried to compare them by rotating them but I didn't find much difference besides the colors and some patterns. The first one had nothing extra to warrant that price imo.

It's very possible i'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's because the first one was from a Rift and there's some bits that glow (on the headpiece for eg) ? If that's the case I assume that's why they put it out at the price of others rift cosmetics put in the store maybe ? Otherwise I don't get it either

Still, twice the price of the second seems a bit much over bits that glow (that are tiny).

I want to say because it is blue lol. It is a meme that blue in-game cosmetics are more expensive simply because they are blue, but in this case, it is probably unintentional, there will be some other reason.

It probably has more to do with the fact that it was a "limited" item, although I agree its not really worth it (but tbh not many cosmetics are worth their price)

I wish more people complained about some bad quality stuff being overpriced, maybe we'd be heard.
