You guys do realize this is all marketing. I'm not saying CCP is trying to rob you but look at your message and the think about it. Everyone is saying the Starter Pack isn't worth it and it better to just buy the Mercenary pack. So now everyone is buying the Mercenary pack instead and we're all happy. Only thing is you're paying an extra 10 bucks. Which is nothing and shouldn't e considered a problem except for the fact that you originally planned to only spend 10. So now you're paying double in order to get you money's worth. This will only push sales for the Mercenary pack doubling the profit gained from everyone who "saved" and bought the Mercenary Pack instead.
Then even if you decided to buy the Starter or like myself you received it for free because you're a PlayStation Plus member. Then, you'll find that you're failing into the same trap as free trials.
Think about it. You get 60 suit but for most of you only 20 matter because they're for your chosen class. You lose them within 2-3 or maybe 4 games if you don't use them or die often. Then now that you've had a taste of the Premium stuff you're more likely to repurchase it again. Even if you have absolutely no plans on doing it. After all, 5 bucks goes a long way in Dust.
Okay, so now you've run out and need to purchase more but you don't have that small share of Aurum from the same pack. so maybe you decide it's nothing to just buy some more suits. You spend up the Aurum and you're faced with the same problem again. Only this time you've experienced using premium gear and buying premium gear. So like I said what's 5 bucks more. And for those of you who are saying I wouldn't spend my Aurum on some lame suits. Then, what would you spend it on no matter the gear the same result will appear. 2,000 Aurum can only be used to buy expendable items.
The same thing goes for the 7 day booster. After you've realized how much more SP you could gain you'll definitely want another even if you don't want to buy it. Hell, if you hit your cap every week you'll see that that booster allow you to gain a much larger amount. You go from 190,400 SP every week without boosters to 285,600 SP with boosters.
Like I said I'm not saying CCP is money hungry or is doing this on purpose. But you should really think about this. |
