A simple question.
I have already purchased the Mercenary Pack in the past and have no need to purchase it again. Yet now you are offering it with a temporary offer of 3 new Dropsuits. The only other noticeable difference offhand appears to be the Aurum amount increased by a factor of 10.
Do I HAVE to purchase the new Mercenary Pack to get these 3 Dropsuits or will I be able to redeem them somehow for already owning the pack?
If I cannot obtain them, why? Some people already have purchased 3 Mercenary Packs to have the Dragonfly and Toxin for all 3 characters. It really would not be fair to exclude previous purchases of the Mercenary Pack from this temporary promotional offer. |

im pretty sure they will get on the marketplace for like 12.000 AUR. At the beginning of this build you could get them for 1.200 AUR but they got taken off later in this build. |

Still doesn't make it fair.
Not only did we give them money earlier, but then we have to use the Aurum from our Mercenary Pack to pay for what other purchasers of the pack will get for free. |

One other difference I found was this "item": In-battle Items (Total Value $15 / Gé¼13.50 / -ú10.50 )
I don't think that was in the original deal either. |

It's "In-battle Items (Total Value $15 / Gé¼13.50 / -ú10.50 )", not just one "item".
It's the combined total of the items that follow it.
The entire pack is valued at $50. $20 + $15 + $15 = $50. |

At the bottom of the sticky it says something like: " To redeem those suits you have to login at the said timeframe." Sounds like everyone will get them when logging in then. |

But it also says:
"If you purchase the new Merc Pack between 11:30 GMT Sept. 27th - 11:00 GMT Sept. 30th, you will also qualify to receive additional bonus items listed below:"
And that is what is unfair. |

Why that? It sounds to me that people buying the MP will also have the chance to get the suits by logging on during that time.

I'd rather say that there are just three factions in MAG ? Those three suits are the MAG suits that have already been in the market in last build. |

This same discussion happened already in June, I'll quote myself:

new example,
You buy a pair of jeans. Next spring the store is selling exact same jeans but now together with a belt. Will you run to the store and demand the belt because you bought the jeans in a previous time?
(somehow I feel that what has happened before will happen again...)

Fine, but it's not next spring. To continue the clothes shop analogy, the doors haven't even been opened to the browsing public.

The only parts of the merc pack you will get less use out of buying it a second time are the dragonfly and toxin items, although if you plan on playing an alt then perhaps you will still get equal use out of them. Otherwise, you're getting AUR, a skill booster, and a bunch of expendable items as well as the new dropsuits. All of those will have value to you. None of those things are redundant.
So yeah, we're expected to buy it again if we want the new suits, because everything else in the pack is still going to be an asset to us.

you do appear to need to buy the new pack during the listed time to get the new content. That said CCP has been misleading and unclear in their posts like this before so having bought the merc pack before I'm going to try logging in and seeing if it just gives me a redeem option before I put more cash down. |

I would have preferred vile rat tribute suits over mag tribute suits. I mean it seems more fitting to have a tribute suit for a real person over a stupid game that no one plays anymore. |

Did you read it now ?
It's a F2P guys, hello !!! And it's Type-1 dopsuits, so it's only for the skin that you're gonna purchase it or not...
That's a sort of symbol making the difference between F2P and P2W...

I'm sure they will be available if you already purchased it. Could you imagine the forum rage if they didn't? Especially considering these are reskins of level 1 suits compared to the reskinned militia skinweaves. |

copy/paste from my other post.
i'm confused by CCP post anyway. if i dont buy the new merc pack, am i still able to get those MAG dropsuits?
"If you purchase the new Merc Pack between 11:30 GMT Sept. 27th - 11:00 GMT Sept. 30th, you will also qualify to receive additional bonus items listed below..
The bonus Tribute Dropsuits can be redeemed in-game during the promotional times from 11:30 GMT Sept. 27th - 11:00 GMT Sept. 30th each valued at more than $6, so be sure to login and get them right away!
Note: if you donGÇÖt redeem the items during the promotional times listed above, you will have to contact our customer support staff at [email protected] in order to receive the bonus items."
okay, so if we buy it, we qualify to receive them. however, can others who dont buy the merc pack still redeem these during the promotional period? if i play during the promotional period, am i redeeming them or receiving them anyway? i hope so. i want one. how do they put a monetary value on a digital dropsuit anyway? $6 for a single suit? lol no way
