I don’t even know any more. I am not. And it’s not pleasing to get nothing new to the actual game because screw BR memes. EA wants to sell cosmetic stuff to possibly fund further development. I’m not sure if that’s true so I’m not wasting my money on microtransactions. ---

Bought the premium package. So now go ahead and make those damn maps ffs. Cosmetics are coll, apart from the weapon ones. ---

> [@SirBobdk](#): > > Have taken a look at it. > > Seriously, will any really spend money on this. Stevie Wonder? There is nothing that is good in there, the ‘Epic’ skins for class completion and ToW completion are much better than these. Canis Horribilis is still the best most detailed skin in the game ---

I agree that there should be different skins for unlocks and boins but I like the new revenue stream. I’ll just keep buying stuff and haters gonna hate. I don’t care if I pay another 100 or 200 Euros to play this game. However there were times when this was a lot of money to me so I understand people whining about a full priced game at 60 Euros. Live with the fact that the whales are capable of funding games by spending a lot of money on them or keeping the publishers interest. No doubt I’d rather spend money on new maps which would then be available to everybody. Like a kickstarter that pays for new maps and the supporter get some silly skin for it. However for now I’m glad at least something is happening. ---

What a time to be alive! They do not change the game but they change my enjoyment and immersion. I just got a huge finger in my face for supporting the game despite said downfall, bugs and gameplay issues, that’s why it put me over the edge. ---

Boins are out since yesterday and every 2nd or 3rd thread is about that nonsense. BFV has so many issues but that isn’t it’s biggest at all, I wouldn’t even consider it as a problem. I’ve known from the beginning that skins would be locked behind a paywall since about every game is doing it this way. Yes BFV is a mess and adding boins the way they did feels strange but the real problem is more likely the last patch DICE released. Instead of fixing the core game the patch was 90% Firestorm… thats a middle finger to the loyal players. ---

I agree it’s a dumb move but on the plus side there isn’t a single thing in the store I feel looks good enough to spend even $1 on so I’m not too conflicted. ---

It’s baffling to think people are more outraged at skins being locked behind a paywall and not guns and maps. ---

Seriously, what did people expect? That DICE would just keep making updates and content for BFV for free? I am the only one who knew from the start that there would be skins you could only buy for Boins? Wasn’t it really obvious to anyone but me? Just about every other game does this and at least it allows DICE to release maps everyone can play on, instead of splitting the community every time new maps are released (like they did with Premium). How the heck are they supposed to keep releasing content if they have no income? EA would never allow that 😕 Does DICE release content fast enough? Absolutely not. Is it fair that DICE make exclusive “Boins only” skins instead of Premium? Yes, if people dislike that they should tell DICE to change it back with the new Battlefield game. And yes, I might be slightly agitated due to this being the 212th thread complaining about the “Boins Exclusive” skins on the forum and BFV Reddit. ---

There are two sets in the game that are now locked behind Battlefield Coins, but were previously available for Company Coins when the game was having CC issues. I got the helmet for one of those sets, and if I want to finish that set, I have to pay real money. I was looking forward to some of the skins that have appeared in the armoury, but alas, it looks like I won’t bother with them now. I can pay for guns, vehicles, maps and gadgets, but skins … eh, I’d probably not. Oh well. ---

What I expected to get: - elite skins for real money - everything else for real money and cc What we got in reality: - all slightly decent stuff for real money - all worthless crap for cc This way of monetization removes any reason for cc to exist besides weapon upgrades. Why can’t Dice remove cc altogether and make everything cost money? Personally I don’t give a crap because I have no intentions to give Dice a single cent while bfv is in current state. But microtransaction system could have been handled better. ---

You’ll have to pay real money. The point is we’ve been waiting and waiting for the store and also they alluded to, in their discussions, that there would be the grind method and paid method, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Just a weird convoluted way of using real currency to buy a virtual one that’s also used in tandem with a grind currency… just a mess. ---

Like the Weekly Storylines and weapon max rank(I haven’t seen any cosmetic rewards for maxing a weapon rank yet), which we haven’t seen yet. That whole tweet is misleading as hell. Because people already got their epic uniforms/weapon skins from max ranks. Those are locked behind mastery challenges though. And you can only hope other epic stuff will appear a year later as tow reward. Maybe but nothing is guaranteed. ---

I completely get having Elite skins as Boins-only purchases, but I’m not a massive fan of the Epic sets being locked behind a paywall. I think that for those, the Boins should be the better option, but there is the option to buy with CC as well, just have the price set quite high - perhaps 30-40k per set, or even more. Not unattainable, but it’s going to take a lot of grinding and if you want multiple sets you’ll have to buy one or two for Boins. Then you have almost all the income (perhaps more) without the complaints.
