As the title says, they have always done a sale with the key ring bundle... Its so not worth it at full price... Anyone else feel the same?

    I feel like I'm tapped out, is what. :P Besides, upgraded *everything* I had Epic, last weekend. No need for keyrings any more.

    I thought the keys in the bundle was cheaper than buying 20 keys without and that was the point of it.

    I was willing to spend some money on the game in light of the Vanguard pack and did that without any regret. They gave out something good and got something for good from me in return.

    As for the key ring bundles I have to pass this time. With or without sale.

    Reason is still the Dranur Colony holding with my goal to push the KDF base to max like I did with my Fed fleet the past months. It is fascinating how my willingness to insert an extra coin directly correlates to the level of fun I experience and black holing Dil into stupidity is not my kind of fun.

    Here is to next year.

    I wish they'd just have the bundle all the time, and put it on sale during key sales.

    We have endured, good &/or bad, a quickened pace of inundation between all the recent sales & events it seems.

    Many of the veteran players, or more savvy, know not to buy unless there's a sale, but perhaps with a possible influx of new STO players thanks to VIL Cryptic was wanting to take a little advantage.

    I'm not participating, but somewhat smarter marketing.

    Yup, you've got it. The bundle is 2250 zen. Keys are 125 individually. The savings per key is 12.5 zen. This equivalent to the savings per key of the standard bundle of 10. But, for effectively buying two you get the gold mk 14 tech upgrade.

    Yeah, no sale then no sale. You know what I mean! :D
  • avoozuulavoozuul Member Posts: 3,196 Arc User
    Yeah, I would've bought one if it had a sale.

    This is not entirely true, the first time it ever came out it had no price off.

    "Always" eh? Every single time?

    Oh dear. I bought 10 of them. But it is satisfying crafting a Mk II weapon with (pen) and then using one of them.
