There is a threshold being crossed here and although its on par with some other crap they sell, its definitely on a new level. When they made charge blades cost a zillion scrip you couldnt buy one for 5 bucks in the bit store. This is saying "look, new synergy weps. You can either grind for 3 months to earn one box of blue crap or buy it for .5 hr work at minimum wage." There should be grinding to get gear, i have no prob with that, and even buying stuff with real $ to make it easier is ok with me. But this seems like a huge disconnect from grinding a million scrip to wasting $5 on a total piece of crap luck box with 4 junk blue birdshots and rebel contender dx's. I really appreciate the dude who bought one and put it on YouTube cause it was hilarious, but i hope its the only one they sell for a million scrip.
Yeah, 1 million scrip for a T4 lockbox with trash you going to breakdown anway. Logic? I think not.Quote:

"Please pick up everything on the ground, it will help us to save servers' efficiency"...
But, this is not speciallly what drived me here. The "new synergies" did. They looked pretty appealing to me.
I haven't seen any proof of any other way of obtaining those new synergies. And THIS is way beyond irritating me.Quote:

"1000000 scrips"
I totally agree with that. I guess that's why those boxes don't sale so well (or do they? I don't think Trion would share any info on that). They might be too good at maths to impulsively purchase something on the bit store. Because 'gambling' implies 'gain' but also 'loss'...Quote:

May be you know about this guy, if you don't, you should take a look at those :
Extra Credits: Microtransactions
Doing Free to Play Wrong - How Bad Monetization Harms F2P Games - Extra Credits
Finally, I think I will just never have those new synergies items, (I have no real desire to grind scrips anymore, but I do understand some people still do and are ok with that.)
You are clearly not showing enough DEDICATION. Hm, I need a meme for that.Quote:

I wonder if any of the devs even have 1 million scrip
Yes, the price is set that high so most players will be forced to pay 5 dollars for a randomized lockbox.Quote:

The news is out. Trion is perfectly fine with the situation. We just dont get the bigger picture.
