I won’t buy one because I put a cap on how much I’m willing to spend each month. 10 Euros is my cap.
I was actually looking at the War Master armor, and I thought to myself “Man, this looks really cool, I want to use Microsoft Rewards Points on this,” but every time I look at that package in the store, I realize it’s so grossly overpriced for what it is. The only thing I really want out of that package is the chest piece and helmet. I have no other Helmet attachments to use with it, the coating is whatever (I would never use it), the shoulder pads are… Fine, but there’s a set very similar to them in the Pass, and the emblems are wholly worthless. My immediate thought is that I’m just going to look like everyone else who bought War Master, or I’m not going to get a full $15 (true cost) out of it.
So why would I buy it? I can just use the other parts out of the Pass for customization purposes, the MK.7 helmet is perfectly good as a helmet for me (probably the best new design in the game) and nothing else in the package appeals to me.
It’s a real swing and miss for a Free to Play game if the player’s response to seeing something in the store is “I like this, but not enough to purchase it.” Try again, 343.
