kroto Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Ok, I have spent way too much trying to get a damn skiff mount from a cartel pack and I think they need to break up the packs to sell the items individually. I think its a huge ripoff to make people spend money and NOT get what they want out of it. Its a great marketing idea from the company view cause u make lots of money from the consumer. But on the realistic side of the coin, this way of purchasing is only going to show the consumer that the developers do not care about the players whatsoever. I mean really, I just wanted a damn skiff mount and I got a bunch of crap instead. I hope Bioware is reading this post because your making it pretty clear so far its only about you squeezing money from us. Just make the items for sale individually so we can get what we want and u can get a better idea of what people really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrandiel Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well i agree to a point... i suggest removing jawagrams and some easily obtainable crafting mats...and make the so u 100% get at least 1 rare..they wont be so rare anymore but they will be more of the worth for real cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Buy Cartel Packs.Sell them on GTN.Buy Skiff from GTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Not again.... As others have noted numerous times sell the packs for 250k or w/e then buy the skiff for 700k on the market. I am sure you just wanted to vent but your post isn't changing shyt they are making money off the packs. What if you got the skiff you don't come here to post? So the packs are ok if you get what you desire? Next time sell the packs and buy what you want if you don't like the random chance game. Good luck and have a good day.

Or they could just list stuff on the GTN and not prey on people with gambling addictions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) This is like saying... "I Iove chocolate chips in cookies!... I ate too many cookies to get the chocolate chips!!... please please take the cookies away..just sell me chocolate chips!!!... I have a tummy ache from eating too many cookies!!!" Please to note: your much coveted chocolate chips are available in mass quantities on the GTN. You can even buy and sell some cookies to other players to get enough shekels to buy as many chocolate chips as you like from the GTN. Moral of the analogy: take your eyes off the cookies and put focus on the goal rather then the tasty packaging. This concludes our analogical parable for the day.

Andryah Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Or they could just list stuff on the GTN and not prey on people with gambling addictions... The case presented by the OP here is not a gambling addiction. It's just an example of poor consumer practice. Protip: Bioware does not list anything on the GTN. Imagine the uproar in the playerbase if they did. "OMG!!... Bioware is competing with the players in the economy!!!" and much tooth gashing and swinging of pitchforks would ensue.

Just make the items for sale individually so we can get what we want and u can get a better idea of what people really want. Why should they break them up? You are clearly ready and willing to buy the lottery packs. Just use the money you get from selling the stuff you don't want to buy one off the GTN, as noted by several others already. If you want an optional cosmetic item that badly, you will do what it takes to get one or you will get frustrated and give up.

Nickious Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 and make the so u 100% get at least 1 rare.. So essentially like ME3 MP packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaunidle Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 They want you to buy multiple gambling packs hoping to get the item you want, it's good business for them. All gambling organisations know that there's profit in mug punters. They make money off you chasing the rare items, there's no way they will stop random packs as long as people keep shoving in the coins and pulling the handle on the 1 armed bandit. If you think the Cartel Packs are anything other than a method of gambling then you're really naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadin Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Anyone who buys packs to get specific items is doing it very, very wrong. Many people have millions of credits to burn and so I can see why they might buy packs. But seriously... just sell the packs and buy what you want with the money you get. Or risk it all and get crap 99.99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabethchase Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Or, just buy the items you want directly from the GTN with credits. You don't ever have to touch a pack or the cartel market ever again if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
