1) The 2021 Anniversary Legendary Bundle will now also contain 500 Lobi. Enjoy!
Well it seems that Cryptic may understand how undesirable many consider this pack. While that would be a good thing, I think they fail to understand Why its undesirable. Its not about the stuff not having enough value in the pack, its that people don't really want the stuff in it. They want the ships, and the exclusive boff and uniform. That's it. All this extra stuff is just fluff to increase the price.

I wanted KDF legendary ships at a decent price, period. I personally don't care about the Worf boff but if that was included as a bonus then fine.
Fed ships? keys? packs? lobi? NOT what I want to pay cash monies for.

I mean I'm shocked... you mean people are finally starting to balk at being charged for the exact same thing over and over.
I mean to be fair I have and probably will again spend a few bucks to get new versions of ships I have already bought in some cases more then a couple times already. HOWEVER at some point I gotta draw the line. The first pack was interesting due to the pure size of the pack... and interesting nature of some of the loadouts traits ect. Not because it came with a bunch of worthless addons.
500 lobi is NOT going to move any more packs. Its not even enough to grab a decent one off lobi ship.
Considering how little work went into this pack... its overpriced by a factor of 3 or so imo. These legendary packs should be a way for Cryptic to make some hey we like you money. Really though all this insane pricing scheme is doing is making me consider other ways to spend my time. After 11 years I'm in.... but man everyone of these Leg packs has felt like a rip off, this one is even more painful. Just drop the stupid Fed ships and give us a 2 ship KDF pack with proper 2 ship pack pricing.
Offer both versions and see how many people buy each type.
Considering Leg packs are about 99.99999% pure profit. I don't think it matters if the fed pack still manages to outsell KDF by a factor of 20.... its all still pure profit.
Also bump those keys and upgrades to 20. 11 is weird regardless of the Anniversary.
I felt the first pack was good on the value so I bought it. The legendary Rom Bird of Prey was a rip off but i wanted it anyway so I bought it, the Legendary Mirror Galaxy X was a great value and is a great ship so I bought it and I also must amid that i bought the Walker which I still regret. It's an aweful ship compared with the Lobi Ship and was sure not worth the zen. They seem to make bundles and packs for new Players and don't care so much about the Veterans who have been with this game for years over years. The new pack is just stuipid from any point of view. Why put T6 coupons in it when people want the better T6 versions aka Legendary. You put gambling garbage in it to increase the price and now they think by adding 500 Lobi it makes it worth it? It's 4 freaking ships in there I want not 6 cause I have no use for the Coupons unless you can trade them then i trade them off. I have no use for gambling garbage because it can have a good value when you get a ship or the more like version it has 0 value because you don't get one. After how crappy the game has been since the anniversary in terms of lag and bugs it feels like an insult to get a pack like that and don't get me started on the year of the klingon....
