Pricing and Quality on WotC products

I'm not sure how much sway you guys have with wizards of the coast but I gotta say the stuff they're expecting us to pay for on the marketplace is a little bit embarrassing. The information and tokens are pretty decent maybe worth about 20 bucks. Even 30 maybe. The tokens though no effort went into them. I can make the same token by screen capping or googling the artwork of the monster and using token tool for the monster to create the same effect. Suggestion, either higher quality supplements or lower the price. Hard to justify paying 50 bucks for roll20s version when i can get the hard copy in my hands for cheaper and have it be useful on real tabletops. 

The monster manual? You realize the full retail price is $50, right?

Wizards play stores and quite a few retailers sell it at a lower price. I think i only paid like 35-40 for mine because it was at a WPN store. But 50 bucks i have a full hard print copy in my library that i can use for games. Roll20 version i am limited to only their program, and its at zero cost to the publishers of the book and i don't get a pdf to keep with me. Look on drivethru, pdfs are about half the price if not less than the hard cover of gaming products. Asking 50 bucks for a digital book that doesn't even give quality tokens. Using tokentool with a screencap of the books artwork doesn't count as tokens included. I could do that myself and all it would take is the time it takes to search google, upload it to token tool and then into roll20.  They need to realize that it doesn't come with enough to make it worth 50 bucks. We are literally paying for the D&D name

First off: you don't have to buy the compendium addon. Second: how many hours would it take you to create the tokens, as you suggest, for the entire MM, including those without art in the book? Third: once you have tokens, how many hours would it take you to create the Sheets for each one? Now compare that to the price, is it worth it? Maybe, for some of us it is, for others it isn't. Would I prefer the price be lower, sure; but I still find that the value is worth it. As a side note: I find the tokens of sufficient quality to use in my games. Would I blow them up for printing at Letter size, no; but for a digital medium even at 200% zoom, I find they look good.

Not too long tbh. But monster by monster, eh i guess if you have money to burn.
