Okay so its takes ~2.0M SP to get from level 3 suit to proto suit but instead now i can get to level 3 and for 160 AUR use proto dropsuit.


That is a HUGE time advantage for players. So thanks for that. Granted i was two weeks away anyway but this is going to be hilarious now. Prepare for LOGI GAWD to run around in his P2W suit.


Seriously this suit should not be available until level 4 as an AUR purchase. Level 3 is way too soon.


Or the AUR cost should be greater.


I mean ive made a comment about AUR items and their need to be balanced properly. Yes CCP needs to make money from these items. Personally im not against AUR proto suit it should either be at level 4 which is still a nice 1.2 M SP before unlocking proto suits.


Or they need to raise the cost to around 250 AUR or maybe or so, If not greater. The reason why is players who buy AUR gear especially proto gear are even more cautious and less likely to lose them by making sure they camp, get revived or whatever else they have to do to make sure the suit doesnt get consumed. So repeat purchase are less likey so CCP should consider trying to get as much money on them on initial purchase. It also serves as a financial check as players like me are less likely to call them on pubs and reserve them for CB, but again this doesnt affect me that much since im at level 4 suit and 2 weeks from getting ISK proto suits anyway.

Keep in mind many closed tester had access to merc packs that were on sale for $10 buck and each give 40,000 AUR.

I mean it isnt an enormous amount of money here that is being thrown around, but CCP has to realize that not everyone is in a position to buy AUR and its one thing for weapons, but we can all unequivocally agree that the dropsuit is the foundation of a players fitting that it has to be something people cant gain an advantage with through RL money.
