If Research Packs were, say, 250 zen?

/random opinion from a nobody...

Just took a look at the RnD promotion, amazed at the cost of the R&D pack..no RnD DOFFS, only a few rare or very rare materials which are random and not likely to be critical.....sigh, disappointed I can't afford to take part in the fun. I wish I could pick up 5 or 6 of them just for the fun. The more a game places an emphasis on money for high visibility promotions, the less fun it is for me as I don't have much of a budget.

1000 is way more than I can spend for 20-30 materials, only a few rare or very rare..its MUCH more cost effective for me to buy what materials I might need (infrequent) off the exchange.

I hope the ship will be purchaseable with lobi at some point. I can't help but think this is an item geered toward the well-healed, and while I can unedrstand PWE wanting to take the large amounts of money available from these generous folk, I do wish there was a variation more available to us at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

My opinion for a Sunday Afternoon...

    Um, they are 250 zen -- 1,000 zen gets you a 4-pack of them.

    quite the Research Fail on the OP there.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    Or just buy the Promo packs off the Exchange for EC, no Zen required???

    Well I tend to agree here. The R&D packs for 250 zen are just a bad deal. Aside form booster/accelerator stuff (and even that’s not worth it) I can imagine 100 other things I’d rather spend my zen on. At the moment lobi outcome seems on lock box level and ok u get a chance for the JHSS but other then that I don see any reason for purchase these.

    All in all I liked the Doff packs with promo goodies in it much better and found them more useful.

    But oh well… one thing less to spend zen on so why complain. :)

    There's no room for this type of reasonable information.


    SILENCE!
