Well, most importantly because I'm already having to choose between food and paying for the normal boosters BUT

This item doesn't do anything but make all the pay-to-win arguments that much more powerful. It's reserved solely for the people who have the moola to drop on it and restricting the option only to those players. I know a player who still has Omega Passive Boosters in effect even today and is excited to see them going on sale again despite having such a large reserve already.

Now, it'd be one thing if Omega Boosters were reserved as part of a new player pack or for players who's account is <'x' days/weeks/months old. This would close the gap and largely the concern of new players having a hard time getting to a point where they'd be competitive against older players.

Just as well, it'd be more preferable if they were part of a return prize - log off for 60 days and recover some of the SP you missed out on that you normally would have obtained if you were active, but not as much as if you had. This would make a lot more sense than giving the players who didn't log in something the players who do don't have yet, or had no opportunity to obtain. In this case, they're still being rewarded far more for logging in.

Essentially what these items do is make it more rewarding for players who have money to play, rather than players who don't to have any reason to log-in in the first place. That seems counter productive if you want players to spend more money to reach a point of competitiveness FASTER or to catch up on an area they weren't on for. Further more, it's appealing to the -wrong kind of player-, we're trying to get more players in AND keep the ones we have, not just keep the ones we already have.

Believe it or not, gaming + cigarettes is an amazing way to kill the hunger drive. I've embedded it in my mind that when I game, I don't eat, so it's sort of a subconscious thing now.

One day of food or one week of hunger killer? I think the choice is obvious.
