Multiplayer packs give way too many consumables.

Title.

All the packs in the store give way too many consumables, and in turn not enough actual items (weapons, characters, mods)

The ratio is ludicrous, there's no way it's meant to be this bad.

...Ok, yes, human greed is bad enough that they would make it this stupidly bad on purpose in hopes we'd waste money buying more and more packs, but they went too far with it.

Packs need to give more items and less consumables.

  • Yeahhh. Did you know that after you max out rares with the top two packs, you will be getting nothing but consumables 75% of the time? Spend 400k credits, get a bunch of boosters and maybe 1 ultra rare.

    edit: AT THE VERY LEAST, I would like to see this changed so premium packs can ONLY contain the said rare items, chance of ultra rare, and tier 4 boosters. Getting tier3/w/e boosters or cobras in a 100k pack is just insulting.

  •  When I compared the pack sales model from andromeda to various mobile games and other games with game boosters.  I noticed that they really are meant to just flood you with useless stuff before you earn valuable items.

     If you really want to see the problems with the consumables, check the prestige/collection page for boosters, then change the filter to ultra rare and realize that some boosters are apparently only gotten sometimes in the most expensive pack.  In other words, completely wasting any time you put into playing when you buy the largest pack and get something with no value, or actually minimal value to anyone.

     The boxes certainly shouldn't give away all the goods as quickly as possible because that would definitely ruin the effort put into earning the boxes, but those consumables and boosters are even more of a waste.  It would be much better to just move most of the consumables into the lesser boxes, and instead put vouchers/discounts/tokens for lesser boxes in the 100k box.  So instead of getting a level four consumable, you might get a token that equals a third of the 20k box, or get reduced prices on the next few boxes you buy other then the 100k box.
