Hard to find much to complain about by these packs. Amazing value and great for new players to catch up.
As someone who has avoided sequel content like the plague, it's a huge win! I think those feeling agreived need to remember how much you have to catch up on with this game. Anyone who's played for a certain amount of time will have missed out on some of the benefits built in for newer players such as double drops for starters.
The way the game has evolved means there is little need to go after SLKR or Ray and the stats for players who have them are huge. There is also the ships grind that you still have to do for SLKR which can take months so it's not quite getting a free GL.
All I would say having brought the packs, I do feel like I've put in a cheat code or done something wrong! Maybe I'm just too conditioned. As a collector game there is an element that I enjoy completing the grind and choosing who to gear up next - but that's just me. So personally I hope this doesn't become 'a thing' or get carried away offering more expensive bundles later down the line. However in no way is that a critisim of these deals, makes perfect sense given the factions on offer.
