Premium Crates Sham! 1000 Gold spent & not a single Jag BP!!

Anyone noticed that despite the 'Limited offer' of Jaguar F-Type BP's in Premium Crates, there AREN"T ANY Jaguar BP's being awarded?!?

I've spent close to 1000 gold to try scoop 4 more BP's I need to level up my Jaguar to 6 Stars, and nothing, nadda, not a single Jag BP has sprung from the Premium Crates. At this rate, getting to 7 Stars will take eternity. I'm patient, but not that patient!

Why does EA want to make it almost impossible for us to upgrade our SE cars? Why aren't these BP's also being made available in the Standard Crates? Why can't we buy them in our very empty Tournament Stores?

If you're going to offer 'limited offers' for BP's in crates, and you want us drop gold on these crates, please reward the decision to buy and don't give us 2 x Ford Fiesta BP's or other parts of almost insignificant value... I could understand that happening in Standard Crates, but Premium Crates should offer premium value!

    I agree. I bought the 10 gold crate package when the Diablo offer was on and got absolute rubbish. Fortunately I was able to get my 900 gold back. However, now I keep getting those item in the free 48 hour crates and seems like I'll keep getting them for the next 10 crates.

    You really managed to get the gold back from EA/FM? Strange.

  • Sadly, this very situation isn't something new and has been happening since the R34 event. Premium crates are speculative in nature and it never guarantees you anything by just saying there an increased chance of getting whatever BP it features!

    The truth is, EA does offer BPs for SE cars in standard crates sometimes, as well as offering them in replayable stages. But whether or not they will actually be dropped is a whole different story, just like what's been happening for cash nowadays. It's a shame, really.

    @WildeKnight07 Buying crates in the Loading Docks is similar to playing those slot machines in casinos.

    You take the risk and gamble something in hopes of winning something. Either you'll be lucky or unlucky from gambling.

    You just got unlucky from gambling Gold for Premium crates.
