Is this supposed to be a joke? Yea i get that its the whole gear for both pieces, but who wants to pay extra for stuff we already have 1000's of. Its cool more gear slots were added to shipments, but at least put something that makes sense, or is that too much to ask.The Mk 9 Data pad salvage, we already get for free, through challenges. I currently have 1600 for example because we will never use them fast enough. The prototype that usually costs 750 for 50 of them is what we need, not the two together. The same thing with the Mk 7 Generator. The only piece people need regularly is the Generator salvage, which is normally 1250. The rest of the gear in the generator is just a waste to buy since we also get those for free (i currently have over 2000 for all 3 of the other purples in this gear).My suggestion is to just get rid of the full pieces and separate everything. Go back to the 750 and 1250 prices for the individual pieces. Nobody wants to buy stuff they already have.

I'm not outraged by it. I'm just disappointed in the devs. And I want to make sure people know so they don't accidentally waste resources on a trap.And I can't figure why anyone would try so hard to defend something that has no upside, but is tricking unsuspecting people out of resources.I doubt this is any of the devs we see pop up here - this is a corporate profit maximization initiative. Some financial / statistical modeler likely hatched this pricing structure. This is the suits - not the devs is my guess.

It is a bit predatory. But mk 4 stun guns have been in there forever at 1400 crystals. It's a buyer beware situation.

Most people will double check before they drop $20 worth of crystals on one single piece of gear. But i am sure there are folks who do not pay attention and/or don't care about the cost.

There must be a ton of people who doesn't give a crap about money playing this game, if we've got to jump to conclusions based on the offers in the store.

It there for fools to buy. As long as they don't take the golf gear for 750, halos 300, full furnaces 1400, stun gun 1274. Then it all good

I have a mk6 fusion furnace in my shipments now that costs 3500 crystals. I don't remember prices like this. wasn't the 50 salvages you need for it only 1600?

Lol this is just another instance proving they don't listen to the community and just broke something that didn't need fixing in the 1st place.

forgot there was another component for the furnace so maybe that price is correct.

Sadly I think in the first week or more lots of people are going to accidentally buy those fully crafted mk9 Pads and mk7 generators
And I really hope they introduced those without thinking about it, and remove them again fast!
