Pro team skins-very disappointed from 343

You need to buy 4-5 packs - 9,99us for each to complete all. I dedicated to step back. I miss the HCS 2015 pack, so I need to buy 5 Team packs.That kind of money I recive for one week hard work in my country. I prefer to buy new shoes for my children’s.
And please don’t tell me - but this is supporting for the HCS teams. They have a sponsorship from many companies. If I want to support them I will buy tee-shirt or hat from HCS store. I spent my time to make REQ points exactly for this packages and now I’m very disappointed.
343 forcing us to spend money if we want to complete our collections.
From the armory I miss only Athlon Champion.
I support the company when I buy the game and play it.
I support the pro teams when they smashing me in Matchmaking
I have 450000 REQ Points that I reserved for this packages.
I remember when Destiny start to selling their dancing skins and continue in that way. Tey make their game in pay to win. This was my red light and I just throw my 3400 playing hours to scrapyard.
Now I can’t believe, but red light start to blinking again.
343 - don’t go in that way.

i mean… you don’t HAVE to buy them.

Don’t buy them. Simples.

I decided to not Buy.

$9,99 for 5 skins. This is just too much.

I mean I hate to say don’t buy them like everyone else, but honestly dude, just don’t.
I people are happy to support it then that’s fine but if you don’t want to buy them just leave it, I won’t and it won’t make a different to me at all.

You’re all missing OPs point, he’s saying that he can’t complete his skins without paying a load of money.

They cost money and some of that money goes to the teams. Its a way of further promoting Halo esports.

A good portion goes to the teams and players. Its akin to buying a football jersey or a baseball cap. Obviously not for everyone, but I didn’t bat an eye buying EG and CLG. I’ll but nV’s too when it comes out. If you can’t part ways with 10 bucks or don’t have a grownup job or whatever i get it, but its not much really.

K? He made it clear he won’t buy it, talking about it won’t make 343 add RP to buy them when that then defeats the purpose. It’s cool if he wants to be a completion it’s, oh well if he won’t fork up the money to do it, he can easily pretend the pro skins don’t exist.

Cosmetic items are fine if they can be earned with in game points, buy them ? No chance. I appreciate some players think they’re worth it, no problem, it’s your cash to do with as you see fit, enjoy what you buy.

Edit = Just saw you can’t complete your collections without spending money, lot’s of games do that though. I don’t agree with it, but it’s common now.

Um… I’m almost certain that emotes do not make you take down Oryx easier. They are emotes. Cosmetics. Those are what you’re suppose to lock behind a paywall, because they have no affect on the game at all. Look at Gears 3, plenty of skins exist in the base game, but there’s tons of cooler ones that you need to pay $3 for. That’s a proper microtransaction market.

Also, the first HSC pack supported the HSC specifically, with a portion of the money going towards the organization and it’s prize pool. The team skins support the teams specifically and yes, while they do have many sponsors across gaming, you can never have too many.

Yeah you don’t have to buy the HCS pack. It’s not a requirement nor does it affect gameplay. The HCS pack exists for people to support an e-sport team by buying something that lets the fans sport the colors of whatever team they like through a transaction of goods. This is no different from individual sports teams or the franchise of a sport selling jerseys, hats, etc. for fans that want to show support for a given team or group of teams.

For skins? Yes it is! 6 of these packs is the same price as the entire game. 6! It’s a scam and people like you are embracing it.

So? You don’t have some skins. Maybe 343 can rewrite it so they don’t count towards completion if having that 100% matters that much to people.

they won’t do that because there actually are people who will pay 10 bucks for 6 packs just so that they don’t have that empty spot.

And you don’t take issue with that? I agree with OP on this even though I’m personally not too bothered about hitting 100% myself.

Or…yanno it’s par for the course given how sports jerseys and caps are 80+ dollars. People will purchase what they like in support of a team. It’s just the unfortunate nature of things. 10 dollars by comparison is hardly a lot within the same category of sports fandom merch. End of the day it’s still completely option and has zero effect on gameplay. People who want to go out of their way to support a team it’s their own choice.

If you want to get really egregious with aesthetic skin-game cost ratio you should check out Overwatch: Origins Edition. That’s a scam for your buck in terms of artificial pricing so far as consoles were concerned since they were forced to buy optional aesthetic skins for an extra twenty bucks.

If you have everything unlocked you only have to buy 4 packs to get all the skins. Both team and HCS. People subscribe and donate on twitch for practically nothing. Atleast this way your giving back to the community and its pro players and you get some skins and emblems. $10 is fine, I bought them all and will buy the next batch that comes out too
