New Low?

I actually think this is genius. Whomever came up with this idea deserves a raise.

Whales are gonna go nuts buying these packs.

How is this a scam or an extortion?

If I go to Walmart to buy groceries, are they scamming me by putting all sorts of items I don't need on their shelves?

It's not a scam, but like everything else monetized about this game, its definitely unethical.

Its not unethical, its what the games economy will support. Its totally disgusting to you and me, but we dont HAVE to buy it, just like I dont have to buy a car for $200,000, but other people will, and thats why there are $200,000 cars.
I dont have a problem with the cost of things in the game, my problem comes from lack of content to use it in, so thats why I dont spend anymore. Dont like...then dont buy. Simple as that.

But that’s the point, it’s just a money grab on false hopes as it *could* be higher than the basic 5 speed.

It's not a false hope. It could be higher.

And everything in the game that costs money is a money grab.

I would say literally nothing cg does in this game is a money grab.

Sorry about COVID, how about wasting few hundred $ on terrible mod rolls? Really CG? At least make them seem like a deal

Fair. It's a money request. People seem to forget they can say no though.

The pricing on these is certainly way too overstated. No lvl 1 mod on this planet is worth 10 dollars, and 6 mods certainly won't be worth 80 dollars. For comparison, you can buy yourself a high-end expensive EA game with that price. Gambling on mod stats isn't worth the money.

Just because they have 1 more base speed stat doesn't guarantee maxed speed secondary, and as someone said earlier, that's a really scammy bait and switch to make it seem different, yet in the end make it all the same.

Based on gambling luck for mod stat rolls, availability for the by-products to Slice them and that barely half a million credits, this pack is AT WORST worth half it's price, not even. You can, assuming you are all out on mats, only get a single one of the purple mods to gold, and you can only slice one of them to 6E, that is very underpromising.

This is deadass a scam of a pack.

These packs are hilarious. The fact they would even offer these is beyond belief. I hope people aren't foolish enough to get these especially in these times where a lot of the workforce is jobless. The morals for releasing these were definitely put on the back burner. Shame on you CG for even creating these.

I dont think you understand what you are looking at, 1 as stated above, 6 base speed exist and is out there for anyone to get on any mod, 2 - This is not a chance of getting this mod, that is the mod you are buying, thats why they are showing the stats.

This is not like a mod when you look at an event reward where the stats are not listed and roll once you complete the event.

I have never seen a base 6 speed, they aren’t in stores or regular mod farming - please do show me evidence if this is untrue. False as in what is the actual probability of it getting a lot more speed? If they were 6E mods, well then, yes you would see what you are getting.

This is completely against the spirit of the current status of the country and the world and while many things CG has done really never bother me, this just grates on me. I love the game but have a hard time justifying supporting greed such as this. Hopefully the majority of players are smarter than to buy one of these packs. Go donate 75 bucks to your local charity instead.

I bought the 24.99 pack, they both rolled to 10. So, yeah not buying the other packs.

This is a strange reason to decide to buy one pack and no more.

You know what you are getting when you buy. Some mods with equal chances to roll any of the stats on each roll. Having the result you don't want on two mods has no influence whatsoever on the next mods.

Buy or don't buy based on the cost and the chance of the mods rolling. Don't buy or not buy based on your previous buy.
