Too many "Already Own Item" in Battlepacks

SOOO MANY GODDAMN TIMES I've "bought" a battle pack only to receive an item I've already owned, essentially wasting my scraps to just end up with less scraps.  There are so many skins out there and puzzle pieces and yet somehow I just unlock the same few stuff over and over.  Just make it so battlepacks don't give you items you already own.  The Exchange is nice tho.

    You can also try to save your scraps for a Battlepack revision that holds a lot of items you do not have yet, that should improve your chances to receive a new skin.

    It would be boring if you get only skins which you don't have. And you would get them all too fast. 

    Opening battclepacks is like lottery 🙂 And scrap is for buying packs. It isn't wasting scrap.

    I diggz that lottery thing and yes I think it would also b boring if they only gave you ones you don't have but I've personally have gotten the same item back to back to back 4-5 times now that to me is either glitch/bug or just straight up ridiculous. In that matter I'm with @eBr0ms on that note lol it can get very annoying. This is why I like the new battlepack system yes they give you a lot of specials and royal decree -_- but every now and then you'll get legendary stuff out of them and it's like you work for it now instead of waiting til end of match after putting in work only to disappointment of receiving Nada lol

    - Save you scraps so you can buy Superior Battlepacks.

    - Wait for a interesting revision for you

    - Cross your fingers

    But, it's a case of luck. Sometimes you get 4/5 times in a row the same skin, even with superior battlepacks, and sometimes you get the one you want the first time. Revision expired and you don't get what you want ? Don't panic, just wait a few weeks, and you will see the skin in a new revision.

    @eBr0msYes, when you open the battlepacks gain repeat items is the worse, but if every time is different, so we soon gathered together all of the skin, it is not very appropriate

    I know it can be kinda annoying if you spend Scraps to buy a Battlepack in hope you get that what sou still miss.

    Sry, but i can just tell you it is all luck. Cause you know, it's still a Random system what you'll get through a Battlepack!

    "Getting new stuff all the time is boring" I think is literally psychologically impossible. I don't think you can get bored from receiving something new everytime. In fact it would be the EXACT opposite; you would be excited to get new stuff. There's nothing exciting about getting the same stuff over and over again, it's just frustrating, especially when there's plenty of stuff you don't already have. Just the other night I unlocked a superior pack and was rewarded with a skin I already own and a puzzle piece that I've already built, so I scraped them both and bought an enhanced pack, only to unlock the same skin I had literally just got and scraped. That's not fun, THAT'S BORING, and beyond frustrating. In BF4 you always got new stuff with battle packs and it was always exciting, never once boring. In the end it's just a game and games are supposed to be fun. I appreciate the suggestion to paying more attention to the revisions and save for better ones. I will start doing this.

    Yes it might be annoying to get the same battlepacks, but you still make money off the item you sell.
