I’m yet to get my original €80 worth of content, so why would I want to pay for overpriced, recycled, cosmetics on top of that? Even if I buy a single decent item for each of my soldiers, i.e. 8 items in total, I’d end up paying as much as I would for the old Premium, yet it is sure is hell not going to provide me with anywhere NEAR the same amount of content (maps) as Premium did. What am I supposed to be - an idiot? On top of that only ONE outfit looked decent enough to interest me and I would get it for CC, not real money. The rest are meh. ---

> [@grrlpurple](#): > > Yep… In one paragraph they say that they want all cosmetics to be accessible with company coin earned through gameplay and in another they mention the elite skins being available only with paid battlefield coins. Sigh. I bet they will have some really cool stuff but take forever to buy with earned coins but easier with real money. Like a million coins for a elite outfit. Yeah it can be earned for free with lots of hours but here’s a shortcut for $20 for that outfit. ahahahaahha ---

Boins will just continue to show how out of touch ea/dice have gotten with making a quality game. Nothing surprising or to be mad at here honestly. I honestly feel kind of sorry for the people who work at dice that ea is gonna put out on the street, while ea simply says “not our fault we’re great” lol ---

But random weapon skin for $10 is just stupid. I have no idea who will waste their money on such stuff. ---

Some people cried about DLCs and Premium where you got four maps for 15 Euros but a single Skin for like 5 - 8 Euros is okay… > > I was just kidding. I won’t spend one € for those. But I would’ve bought the Premium. I didnt meant you in personal. Just some people in general. Like i said before, i already de-installed the Game and just enjoy the Forum. Besides other Games. But what EA/Dice arent realizing is why Games like Fortnite make such much money through cosmetics. First their playerbase is far younger and by that also far more willing to spend money to look " unique " in the Game. And second: their base game works. Tell me Dice/Ea why i should spend real money for, lets say, a Tank skin for the Tiger when that Tank will bounce like a rubber Duck when hitting a small pebble? Or joinging where half of my side left ages before but there is no balance at all ? If i get a Tank at all because with your Vehicle Spawn system and the lack of Vehicles on the majority of most maps its a Lottery Game. Besides being destroyed by a single Assault Super Soldier in no time. As they say: " You can but Lipstick on a Pig - its still a pig…" ---

They are less clear about the Epic (pink), Rare (blue), and Uncommon (green) cosmetics. From what I’ve read, it seems that new Epic (pink) cosmetics, to be introduced tomorrow, will also only be available through Boins. > > > > So this chart is a partial lie then? > > > > ![image](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/3/5/35216c2fc44e9ce667523592f405e9af7f208bd6.webp) > > No, but they were imprecise, inconcrete and deliberatley vague. From the chart it says that you can buy cosmetics with both the in-game currency and the Boins, if that would mean all cosmetics was left to imagination and vague. Also, since it took them five months to implement the shop 50%, I suppose the shop went through a lot of changes itself. > For example, with the shop delay, the poor player retention and the CC issue at release, we have players like me who buy a lot with CC for and giggles and still have 170k on the bank, there are players who play a round every day or come back after a long hiatus or new players, that might even struggle to get their weapons upgraded, and there are players that play a lot and hoard, which could bring them up to 400k easily. > This creates an enormously failed economy from the start, so they have to limit the usefulness of company coins at first, while giving out a ton more at the same time for new players (assignments, combined arms, dailies etc.). If the stuff we can get with CC in the armory keep being as mostly boring as now I can only see myself using them for “chrome finish” sets and sitting on top of the pile the rest of the time ---

I would assume no one over the age of 15 would be that stupid anyway, plus im a deluxe owner and they can give me some free bf currency but i wont be using them not because im petty enough to say its somehow game related more that im just not stupid enough to spend real world money so i can say to my friends ooooh look my guns pink..for the 5 secs anyone would give a crap plus i know when im playing battlefield im def not running up to an enemy only to stop an admire his eyepatch and sparkly boots 😄 ---

This shows where EA’s hearts are. In the midst of piles of annoying bugs in a game that need fixing, they make sure their priority is to unlock cosmetic microtransactions. ---

Hehe, just joking. 😉 I kinda want the bandage eye headgear but I just can’t bring myself to partake in microtransactions in any game. Fair play though to anyone that does. I’d just rather buy £7.99 worth of snacks to munch whilst I play. I might end up eating those words though…that bandaged eye does look cool plus … it gives hair! ---
