DUST Search - Disappointed with Amarr Faction Pack (Where's the Gold?)

It may seem pointless and even petty in many respects but I feel this is somewhat justified given the amount of money charged for, by CCP, and exploited out of me as a Oceanic PSN users, but I am seriously let down by the lack of effort put into the Faction Pack, specifically for the Amarr.

Initially after reading the description of the Amarr faction pack, this being

"The imperial looks and heavy firepower of the Amarr faction are yours with this complete set of dropsuits and gear, including the golden 'Imperial Guard' ak.0 assault suit that stands out among the others and 'Stormvein' Carthum assault scrambler rifle. Your mercenary is armed for today and prepared for the future, with 100 copies each of both advanced and prototype versions of every item in the pack."

I feel somewhat disappointed at the lack of effort put into the reskin of the content for this package.

Now firstly let me state that I by no means am requesting renumeration for the packs I bought, far from it, the content within functions as effectively as any other, and I wish to support this game, since I do in fact love it. However my issue stands simply with the lack of effort put into the reskinning of these suits

Now admittedly I am very vain, and even the chance to make use of, and Favourite the so called "Golden Imperial Guard" dropsuit was very exciting, even the possibility of simply having, as a sort of collectible, the "Imperial Guard" Assault suit, as I have almost all of the other limited/aurum edition Amarr dropsuit content, was reason enough to purchase the pack.

However when viewing the items I felt hugely let down with the results.

Initially one might have been expecting a colour scheme befitting the Imperial Navy- the Platinum/Silver and Black Patterns
Or maybe something akin to a Templar Suit, modified slightly- Reds and Silvers, or even Golds

But what we received was not even close to being remotely what the blurb for the pack stated.

There was no gold on any dropsuit in the package.

The "Imperial Guard" A/1 cannot even be remotely called golden. Its is a dull and drab green/yellow, unbefitting the Amarr, and of course ruining the image of the dropsuit.

The "Imperial Guard "Ak.0 was simply put, and disgustingly so, not even reskinned, a barely concealed "Neo" Ak.0 with a slight orange?

ORANGE FOR Gods damn sake CCP what it is with you and bloody orange? The ******* Protectorate suit is bloody orange now, yet another suit that godawful colour has ruined for me.

My simple question is why bother is the result are going to be so visually unappealing, and also lack lustre, had they been simle "neo" skins I would not have been disappointed, but the fact that the colours were changed even slightly, and to such poorly chosen, and anaesthetically pleasing is frustrating.

I fail to understand the significance of Orange and the inability to produce a pleasant looking golden, or even silver colour.

Now my Issue here is two fold.

Not only was the content released missing the Gold, mentioned, and promised in the blurb, not present in the content that I paid for. This being my primary concern.

But additionally I only served to make me concerned that barely put any effort into the content release as small as it maybe, and as simple as that would have been to incorporate.

I want to keep supporting Dust financially, and as a regular player, but this content release, only needing a simple reskin and adherence to the promises made in the blurb attached to have made this a resounding success. However CCP, as a customer I am rather dissatisfied with the purchase as a whole, not because of costs, or some such reason, but simply because the small little bits of effort were not present in this release.

Hey, I'm a sucker for Dust514's, 'Military Rainbow'. I freaked out about the colors, but green AND orange? I agree that is a horrible combination. This has nothing to do with what you just read.
