New Boosts???

[dramaQkarri]

Loot has been changed to salvage?...Is this true?. That would be the stupidest thing i have heard , that takes away our choice to sell our increased loot and salvage is the most worthless thing in the game right now. I was just thinking why would anyone buy a boost to worthless salvage when i read that post. 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.

Uhum, they removed loot boosts and added salvage boosts. Silly but alright.
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

Yeah. Unbelievable. I wonder what the snot it means? Need working definition of "score boost".

Right now it just REEKS of pay to win!

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.

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…
