They figured out you will have to keep buying the packs if its limited run. What they haven't figured out though is that nobody wants the garbage theyre offering. They will trick noobs into buying it and then once those noobs figure out they just spent $100 on garbage they will leave the game and never come back. But this should come as no surprise since CCP has always built their business model on the backs of noobs. They don't care about older players, as long as they can keep enough new people coming to the game it doesn't matter. |

Because I think that it is totally sick to spend 100 dollars on items that have 400 runs only. Even if it is so many of them. I heard a lot of people say "I only bought the Merc pack for the BPO", but now that those aren't around anymore ... I think the W.A.R. packs suck because the only thing that was worth so much money were BPOs :/ http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/08/october-means-war-for-dust-514/What do you guys think? It depend if those items are all no-skill or the equivalent of current 'Neo' items. If they're no-skill and pre-fitted with proto modules, this could actually be a pretty good idea. i.e. Newb buys a W.A.R. Hoplon kit, plays ~10 matches as a proto cal assault and 10 as a proto min logi, and THEN they have to grind their way up. That could seriously increase retention. If they're the equivalent of current Neo items, these packs are the biggest ripoff ever.
This mentality has to be our equivalent of EVEs "what I mine is free." Just cause you have a proto suit doesn't mean you will do better. Better gear will not make up for a lack of skill. Noobs will still go 0/12 in these proto suits even if they are no skill. Then they will say "if this is the best gear in the game and Im still doing this bad then I have no chance" and then they will leave. |

When I started playing EVE in 2008 most of the player base was 2006 to 2008 character age. Look at the character ages now? Mostly mid to late 2009 to present. CCP consistently pushes away its older player base. |

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Let me know if you need further translation.
So then you are in fact a 5 year old, good to know. |
