Sounds like Detroit, Summer is about 2 days in AugustNot in Wales, no. They have a month of summer and the other 11 months are winter.

Its also quite annoying for customers to be demanding to pay more for a product.
The amount of ballwashing is reaching epic levels.
Do you guys do this for other products too?
Car salesmen must love you.
Its almost like a reverse auction in here.
At the rate we are going the price of XF is going to get inflated to around $500 a pop.
(waits for someone to say "$500+")

Comparing it to other software, other than a lack of bloated poorly implemented features, XenForo is already comparable at an alpha stage.Its also quite annoying for customers to be demanding to pay more for a product.

Most people are following what has been said: XenForo will be priced competitively to vBulletin and IPB. Saying you want to pay $50, $100, or something that wouldn't match close to their price is purely insulting.
Its unlikely that XenForo will have some outrageous price, however, the people who are saying they'd pay more are the ones that have forums that pay for themselves, or can afford to do so. Its not even fanboying, or ballwashing as you so eloquently (I hope you sense the sarcasm), but it is showing that they can see the benefit of XenForo over other systems.
If you can't, you're about as smart as your posts have lead me to believe, and I'll just leave you with figuring out how much I believe that is
. You forget that xenforo is not an established forum yet, so let us get real here for a minute. To compete with the big boys and to attract a wide range of customers the price should be less than those of the well known established paid forums. And there is nothing insulting about this.

Now to go down your list...
Nobody has said anything negative about XF in this post, but keep putting balls in your mouth defending something that isnt being attacked. BTW, ive said in another thread how much farther along XF seems to be in its Alpha stage than vB4 is at release +.
"Competitively" means a lot of things to a lot of people. To some it means that it wont cost more than vB/IPB, to others it means that i will cost relatively the same, and still to others it means that XF will be situated to cut into IPB/vB's marketshare by undermining their price point with a lower price.
And again with the illegal defense violations... nobody is attacking XF, nobody is saying it should cost $50-$100 in this thread. And nobody is trying to insult Mike and Kier... thats the last thing we want to do.
If we didnt believe in their skills then we wouldnt be here would we?
Your assumptions are again incorrect. Sure, there are people who make nice chunks of cash from their site, you might want to assume that they are the firsts to buy XF because they have the cash... but i doubt they are going to want to mess with their money making sites right away.
What you do have is a bunch of early adopters (i count myself in that group), that get blown over by stuff that looks and feels to be awesome... and we want the precious NOW!
My gift of eloquence aside... repeated ballwashing comes with the territory when you are a fanboy. I get that, and im guilty of it sometimes too. But damn you guys are gonna wear Kier and Mike out!
The fact is that we have people in here that i know are not rolling in dough, and are budget conscious forum administrators... that have succumbed to the XF IS SO AWESOME I WILL PAY ANY PRICE! hyperbole.
(oh and btw, if you need to point out the sarcasm then.... ahh nevermind)
Ill be back once i figure out if im smart enough to understand why people would want to pump up the price of something that has yet to be even given a price.

Who cares when it comes out and how much it is.
Even if it is $459 you will buy it if your professional site needs it .. if you need it THAT much, it's obviously an investment you'll willing to at least consider.
If not, then I guess you are not that serious about your site, or maybe don't NEED it THAT much.
It will be out when it is out.
It will cost whatever it will cost.
If you have the budget, and you want it, you will buy it, or you will wait. Or decide not to buy it.
Those are facts.

Kier and Mike have said that it would be priced competitively. Don't forget what I posted earlier today - vB was priced at $160 when it was first released.

Let them rant, they will stop once they get their .zip file and paid whatever is asked.

And the funniest part is that im not even in this boat either.
Typing right now with my fanboy hat on i can tell you that i have more confidence and faith on an XF which is not finished and which i have yet to see the backend... than i do in vB which ive been using since release.
Thats how faith works though, its gotta be a little blind and somewhat irrational or else it isnt faith.
But the world isnt black and white.
We can have faith in the product, want to support the creators, yet still want to have a conversation about price without being perceived as trolls, haters, cheapskates, ungrateful jerks.

Established maybe not, but as for VALUE which is what we are talking about here, this current alpha version already has much more merit that others in the market... Sorry but look at the speed of developement, if you purchased now that is what you would be buying not what is already in front of us and what we know is coming...
Kier, Mike and Ashley have been doing this full time for months with NO income (to my believe **may be wrong**) they deserve to now sell xenForo for what it is worth, and most of us believe this is around the $170 - $200 mark...

well, its worth pointing out, and Kier should know exactly what I mean here: CBeebies have swapped to the 'Autumn' Song in the last week or so that means Summer is officially over. 
(I think the four CBeebies seasons songs use a snippet of each of the concerto for the appropriate season by vivaldi... )

Absolutely correct. And it will continue to get even better with each release.
Trust me, it will be worth whatever price tag they stamp on it.
The really unfortunately thing is that it is currently unsuitable for one of my uses at this current moment

Did you watch The Proms? I didn't notice CBeebies changed music - then again, I watch something on there on average of once a month.

And to me thats a competitive price. I dont think anyone has objected to such a price.
Actually i dont recall myself ever mentioning an actual price i would prefer, but to me that seems like a good price Peggy.
But others will not understand "competitive" in that same way.
They are talking about competitive with the current prices of the software.
And that may be a bit much.
WE (fanboy early adopters) will pay of course lol... but im just saying.
Well that is quite obvious. There is no crying over spilled milk.
Ill be so into messing with my new XF forum that i wont even remember how much i paid.
But that is then and this is now. If my aunt had a pair she'd be my uncle.
