Just curious.. does pack like tiger pack, easy rider ever get taken out of the boutique shop? b:cool

IF YES:

Does that mean the few item that you can win when opening one of those pack becomes rare?
(example .. chrono bike)

    No, because PWE know how addictive packs are.

    They're basically legalized online gambling, except win you win you're getting nothing..so PWE has no losses and only profits.

    People know how packs work, there's a tiny tiny chance to get something good, but they still spend heaps opening them (it's just 1 more pack) and complain when they get nothing. Selling packs in bundles of 20 and 50 makes it even easier.

    No, they never will. They were originally put in game for PWI's first anniversary then they said they would take them out. A lot of people got mad and quit over the packs since PWE basically lied and put the packs right back in the cash shop.

    From then, there have been constantly pack sales almost every week and new type of packs. They also made them a permanent item in the cash shop now. But, they're still on sale like every week so they might as well jus lower the price of them.

    Needless to say, many people quit this game over the packs, yet they're still here Im sure they'll be here till this game closes.

    When has there not been packs in, in the last two years? Just paying attention you answer your own question, even if only played for a few months..

    To be fair - specific packs are removed. It's pretty hard to get, say, an undead lion, right now.

    Packs are part of the "evolvement" of the game. How could they disappear? We would lack content b:shutup

    So say... 2 months from now, will tiger pack be removed?
    Will tempest mount price sky rocket?

    When they're not on sale, they're in there for regular price.

    Fuzzy got a good laugh out of that. Isn't that the same as saying lots of people "quit" because of the 1st rep sale back in Dec.? And now how many R8's/9's do we see running around, and how many threads does Fuzzy see on a weekly basis begging for rep sales?

    Sorry, thats a bit off topic to the OP's question, the panda should know better. The simple answer is that it would seem the packs will always been on sale in one form or another. Since the introduction of the Anniversary Packs, there have only been several weeks where they haven't been.

    Fuzzy; We have seen a vastly reduced population.
    Admittedly, they spend more on average - but there's a lot less actual people.

    And the starting areas are devoid of life - there are almost no new players entering the game.

    This does not bode well for the future.
