How to Fix the Store and Monetization

We can all agree that the way this store and monetization is handled has become worse than even fortnite, right? So let’s get to telling them how we think we can make this system work out for both parties, customers and sellers.
We all want this game to succeed.

I will be editing this list as we go on:

Legend: ● = what I put on initially, ○ = what I added because I heard it in the comments
○● = initially there but edited

● Lower the cost of most cosmetics: Go ahead call me entitled or whatever you want all you 343 -Yoink!-suckers in the comments, but there’s no way in hell I’m paying the credit equivalent to 15 dollars for Daisy’s bear and flower that I can’t even use at the same time, nor 20 for mediocre armor sets. 20 dollar armor sets could exist but it should be something brand new that stands out completely as a new set. I think accessory sets should be like 5 dollars at most unless they come with like actual armor piece or armor coatings.

○● Remove Timed Store Items/Full Store Catalog 24/7: What happened to no FOMO? 343, you can do better than this, if you’re gonna charge insane prices this is the least you could do for us so as new stuff comes every week we can decide better to not impulsively buy something before something better comes out, or have to wait like a year for something something cycle back into the store. Event armor should be unlockable, like we were promised, remember when they showed off the Tenrai armor?
Note: Esports skins are probably fine as a seasonal buy, but the money should go to the competitions

● Battle Pass Needs More Content: They’re drier than grilled chicken right now. I have no reason to buy or level up the pass, at all, and I’m not enthusiastic when I unlock a single challenge swap.

○● Coatings Need to be Cross Core or at Least Not Sold Back to Us: Selling the noble team colors for the samurai armor core was downright scummy, no one can tell me it’s that hard to simply move textures, or god forbid, colors from one core to another. I look down on anyone who spent 7 dollars to get George’s color on the samurai set. I’m sure you guys could put coatings on guns and vehicles just as easily but it’s whatever not every coating needs to be on everything. We also need basic Color customization, with default color placement and colors we have had since reach.

○ Cross Core Compatibility

○ A way to get store items for free

○ FIVE Free Challenge Swaps Per Day

So there it is,
Simple ways to fix the issues we have right now. If you have more leave them down below.

I am guilty of buying a single pro league skin myself but I vowed to not buy anything more and everyone should do the same until these systems are fixed.

The biggest fix would be for us to earn credits in game, uncapped, but at a very slow pace. Take a look at GTA V, you can spend countless hours in game to earn money or just buy shark cards. I’m not sure how 343 missed the ball on this one. If they’re looking to create a 10 year game, take some examples from GTA V. Still going strong and still racking in dollars.

I won’t be spending money on this game unless there’s a way I can earn credits in game. I’m sorry but 10$ for pineapples is a pass for me.

That’s another great way to improve it I’ve. Seen it be mentioned around a lot, don’t know how I could’ve forgot.

We’ll then you have the problem of how much should be earned per match or if they do it like reach with the challenges how much for the different ranks? And should the capstone challenge have it and again how much

It all boils down to the number you receive and how much you recicve is the tricky part

One way I thought of was earning 25 credits per win. That way there is actually an incentive to play for the win. Or even based on performance, with certain medals earning you 1 credit for a max of 25 per match.

Yeah, I actually really like the Flower bundle. Especially the heart charm. I’d use them on everything. I’d definitely pay money for it. But not $15 dollars. For that much I can get an irl teddy bear and heart charm.

Here’s how I would “fix the store”

  1. Cross Core. No ifs or buts. Do it.

  2. Primary and Secondary basic colour picking, the coatings can still exist for special camos prints or armor prints. Sell us Palettes and Coatings if you want.

  3. Full store catalouge available at all times, with periodic sales. All items can be individually bought.

  4. Event periods can be used to earn store Credits up to a total of 500 from matches and 500 for completing the Event Pass. These Credits however, cannot be used to buy Season Pass, so players still NEED to purchase the Season Pass with money.

  5. Season Pass purchase comes with 1000 Credits in the pass so it could be used to buy the next Season Pass. This replaces all the Challenge boosters and swaps.

  6. Lifted from another user : Players can swap their challenges 5 times daily at no cost.

That would be sort of okay, but the only way I’d spend anything on the game is if they added everything in each season to the Battle Pass and increased its price to $30-$40.

I like this list, I think there should be two credit currencies in that case, paid only (which can be used on anything) and the unlocked which you unlock very slowly and can only use in the store

1-Colors working for all cores is obviously good, though I think some of the more complex coatings might not look very good unless they modify them.
2-Having basic colors would be good.
Also, I’d like it to be more like what someone else said about choosing colors for each armor piece.
3-That would be helpful.
4-I think that would be good, since it would still take a while to gain things for free.
5-If they changed the Battle Pass for the better, I don’t think that would be good.
6-That’s how it should be.
