How the hell can they take away loot boost , its almost as if they sit around thinking of ways to screw us.
    Yep. The loot boost we had several days left, paid for. I paid for one day, and our clan founder is fond of buying a week at a time. That's kind of a lot of bits. Boost is GONE. Started a thread about it. Also PM'd Kiwi & Scapes.

    Basically it's STEALING. And they need to fix it NOW. Either return the bits or transfer to the new lame salvage boost.

    A more appropriate boost would be "Rewards" not "Score".

    This way the leaderboard would not be affected by real money purchases, but the rewards would be higher for a lower score. (For example: If 50K score gets 10 keys and a #19 on the leaderboard, then a 10% boost to Rewards would be 11 keys and a #19.)

    As it sits, if a score boost can affect the leaderboard ranking, then this is the most pure version of pay-to-win I've ever heard of.

    A Score Boost? You have got to be kidding me.

    You can now Buy your way to an increased score?

    LOL

    So buy your way to the highest tier loot - Check.
    Buy your way to the best score - Check.

    How is any of this NOT pay to win?

    You guys are just sad Trion.

    Changing running boosts though is bad, that's like giving someone coffee when he orders a tea and expecting to be paid.

    I personally don't buy any boosts but I hope the bits will be refunded for the ones that had loot boosts running.
    More like pre-paying for coffee and getting it thrown in my face instead. We paid for boosts that are now gone, just gone. Not transferred. I'm waiting for an official answer. *yawn* prolly be a long time

    I don't agree with score boosts, but what exactly are you "winning"? Top tier lock box which will still give me blues and a few extra keys/arkforge. I'm still not really sure what winning in this game is.

    Winning in most traditional sense would be simply having a greater score than everyone else - regardless of the Trophy at the end; whether or not you feel the Trophy is shiny enough is irrelevant.

    A Score boost has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of - and if someone were to want to clearly define Pay To Win it would be the most apt example I have seen to date in any game.

    Yup, dat the very definition of PAY TO WIN. I don't care about the score, I don't really PVP so it's not an issue for me, but it certainly is P2W.

    re: loot boost

    Interesting. I've noticed an increase in loot drops on the ground recently. I wonder if they just upped it permanently when they got rid of the loot boost? I mean, I even looked to see if there was loot boost active and there wasn't. Now if only stims would drop again…
