My question being what about those of us that already bought them. Do we qualify for any kind of bonus?

The only thing that has really changed is the amount of AUR you receive so they are not really "new" just adjusted...

Hello,

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately the Merc Pack Dropsuits offer only applies to new purchases and as such the 3x Dropsuits will not be allocated to users who previoulsy purchased the Merc Pack.

Regards,

Hi if we bought the merc pack when it first got out will we be eligible for
the tribute skins? Would be sad to be penalized because we bought it first
and no reason to buy it again... Please advise. Thanks.







Please someone tell me its ridiculous marketing...

It's actually very good marketing.

See CCP have a revenue stream and the product isn't even live yet. Some of this revenue will be used to pay the developers to finish the game, thus they don't need to "rush" to get to market.

People will buy this new Merc Pack to get access to the beta, so they will make money there.

Additionally some people who have already bought the merc pack will buy a 2nd merc pack just for the extra items (40,000 AUR + 30 Day booster alone is worth more than the cost of the merc pack) plus as a bonus they will get these new dropsuits. I know this because myself and 5 other people I know have already bought the new merc pack when we already had the old one.

So, I reiterate, it's very good marketing.

No it's not. It adds uncertainty to the value of the deal, which you are ignoring in your calculations.

No I'm not. It's a good product for a good price.
That's really all that matters.

If you don't like it, don't part with your money. Nobody is forcing you to.

No it's not. It adds uncertainty to the value of the deal, which you are ignoring in your calculations.

no, it's not.
You bought what was on offer at the time, a better offer came later. Why do you people think you're entitled?
Would you buy a car (the best on offer at the time) and the b***h about it when a newer model came out at a later date? No! You got what was good at the time.
Get OVER yourself!

So, I reiterate, it's very good marketing.

I got a great offer, $10 for the pack with PS+. I thought about it beforehand at full price, but I have never before gotten into the online aspect of FPS games before. Just the beta of this has sold me.
I never said I was entitled.
My lady and I just bought a new car, a great offer but some hail damage. $3500 off for $1500 worth of damage. A 2012 so I know the "new" models are coming out, plus they are now giving $7000 off for $750 worth of damage but I like our car, and it is still good at this time.
I have nothing to get over. At the moment I am not a very good player with a less than stellar K/D ratio. Yet I still show up, stay till the end and lose some mental cohesion with each new generation of myselfs.


Edit: I was just asking a question as I could not locate a firm answer, and I hate to run around and spout speculation as truth.
I do use the search function to try and avoid repeat topics but the only one I found at the time was asking about not receiving said bonus for purchase.

Ok bro, I apologize. I shouldn't have been so harsh.
If you want an extra squad member then add me to your contacts. I dont always do too good either but I get by, its not easy to put as much into dust as I would like with a wife and two kids lol.
Don't take too much notice of k/d ratio, that takes a back seat. All that's important is good team work and communication. K/d ratio don't earn you the most isk, revives, resupplies, repairs, hacking, destroying vehicles and enemy installations do.
