Purchase single item from bundle (Shop overhaul)

I would like to see an option added where we can buy a single item from within a bundle in the shop.

The ‘Frostbite Effects Set’ is 1800 Credits.
The bundle has 4 items in it, making each item 450 Credits. If am only interested in 1 specific item, I’ll be forced to purchase an entire set for a lot of Credits, while not using 3 out of 4 items.

I have purchased bundles in the past, and sometimes spend a 1000 credits while only wanting a few items in the bundle. It’s wasting my money, and makes it so that a lot of people can’t/won’t purchase the items they want because they can’t/won’t pay for the entire bundle, especially if the bundle is expensive to start with.

My solution is pretty simple:

  • Give each separate cosmetic a fixed price range, based on rarity and type of cosmetic.
    This would allow the shop pricing to become more uniform, instead of the arbitrary system we now have. (See example 1)

  • The fixed price range would aslo allow for each individual item in a bundle to have it’s own price and use the Bundle as a form of group discount. Meaning i would be able to purchase each item in a bundle separately without the Bundle discount. (See example 2)

Examples;

  1. ‘Setting Sun’ Weapon Coating is 300c for 1 Coating, while ‘Maltese Mayhem Weapon Set’ has 4 Weapon Coatings and 3 Weapon Models for 800c. The price difference versus the item amount is unexplainable.

  2. The ‘Frostbite Effects Set’ is 1800c, making each individual item 450c. Disregard the fixed price range for now, the individual items could cost 500c each, but the bundle saves you 200c if you were to purchase all individual items separately.

I believe that if these changes were to be implemented, the players would be more inclined to purchase the items they want, instead of purchasing an entire bundle.
This might mean that less bundles will be sold, while individual items will be sold more often.
This would also mean that the amount of transactions would rise, for both the shop and the purchase of Credits.

Amen. I personally refuse to buy bundles for 800-1200C just for one single item that actually interests me. Matt Booty said the game didn’t met financial expectations recently,wee serves them right for their predatory practices. Also it would be nice if the items were purchasable the whole time and not just one specific week, because duh, you can’t buy something you really can’t buy.
