1: Remove gold bundles, as they create an objective imbalance to buying reqs with real money compared to RP. Or make them purchasable with the proportionate amount of RP
Ex. One gold pack is $2.99 or 10,000 RP, but bundled, 7 gold packs with 2 free gold packs costs $19.99. That should be $20.93 if the gold packs cost $2.99 each, but then you get 2 extra, so thats a total of $26.91 worth of gold packs. The problem here is you cant get this bundle with the proportionate amount of RP, thereby creating an imbalance between money and RP. (And thats only slightly imbalanced if you don’t consider what the best price for a gold pack is, this is going by what 343 says it is) For the current price of $19.99, they should be available for 66,856 RP.
2: Limited time packs are Vastly more imbalanced since they cost roughly times as much money as a gold pack, but 8 times as much with RP (And thats when they aren’t real money only, like the vehicle packs)
Ex. The HCS and Spartans armory packs cost $9.99, or 80,000. If they were priced appropriately, they should be either increased $23.92, or decreased to 30,000 RP. Since they are available for a limited time with no prior warning, players without massive amounts of req points saved (The majority of players) have two options; A) Grind for hours to get maybe one pack (if you have anything else to do, you aren’t getting any), or B) buy them with money. This blatantly forces players who don’t have the RP or time, but want the items to spend their money on them. (No on is holding anyone at gunpoint, and some people don’t mind spending money, but this is unfair to those who don’t have time, money, or maybe have already spent of $250 on the CE and want to be able to experience all the content their purchase has to offer)
Thats if for now, leave your thoughts below, and I will be adding more to this post latter.

Yup, and it’s sad when you find the Gold Bundle that costs more then the game itself…
What’s wrong with the gold bundles? Discounts on buying bulk is an idea that’s been around for ages.

Did you read the post? I thoroughly explained why they are bad.
I have been playing since day 2 and still can’t unlock a banshee, plasma caster or anythibg covie. I only get mongooses, and unsc vehicle variants that I constantly sell and I have no more incentive to play because everyone else spawns with ultra banshees and Wraiths and despite advancing from bronze to silver I can’t unlock anything new. I hate it when my 2 permanent reqs are the emblems I don’t want, the armours I don’t want or more ONI warthogs, mongoise variants, warthog variants, gungoose variants and a new BR that I won’t use.

I understand why you think its bad, I just don’t know why you think that. Of course they’re going to give a little bonus to those who spend money, because money has value to them as a company, RP doesn’t.
I did read the post, I could have been clearer, sorry.
