Ummmm....I actually have to fully agree with the OP on this one and say that the marketing team is very very very wrong. Why, the answer is very simple, for close to the price of 1 omega booster, I can buy freaking Skyrim for 30 bucks as well, and that's a full triple A game with really great plot, graphics, etc. I'm not trying to say which game is better....(Skyrim by miles) but I'm trying to point out the fact that I can buy a full game that was professionally worked on for way more hours then Dust 514 has been, has active support by a modding community, for the same price as an Omega booster which is just DLC and not even that great of DLC at that.
I thought about buying a lot of things on Dust before in the past, but the simple truth is, the prices are far to high for the service currently being provided as exampled within being able to purchase Skyrim for around the same price. I'm sure you all have seen the 100k and 200k weapon packs and things like that. How most of the gear is literally trash gear, things that most people won't even use and people just buy them to support the company. But my counterpoint as a consumer who wants the most for his money, is that these products are sub par for what is being given and far out weigh any benefits they might give.
The best deal for people wanting to get intrested in the game which is the merc pack, is being taken down and I think permanetly, unless they plan to offer a merc pack 3, but I doubt it. But how many of you are actually willing to spend 50 dollars for the Vet pack on a game that isn't finished and is constantly in what most would call a beta. 20 dollars was the exact right amount for a game that is untested, so yeah to me the marketing deparment/sales department for Dust are out of their minds. They are eliminating reasons to actually buy the Aurum and making the packages far to expensive for the contents within them, not to mention that the elite and vetern packs are race exclusive suits within that you can't pick what race you want.
So by these measures, I agree with the OP, not out of blind hate, but out of being a savy consumer, who wants to spend his money wisely and feel that the corporation he is giving the money to values the money he is spending. I want Dust to do very well and to become a great game, but I am not going to just throw good money at a developer for no reason.
