I’m already foreseeing a future where one would buy Boins, but maybe run out of things to buy, or not want to buy anything else.
Would we get that money back, or do you think DICE will add in consumables or something? Seems tacky to sell items for about 75% of the next highest coin bundle, because then playrs are left with, well, leftovers. It’s just free money for EA/DICE at that point.
How can they add in consumables that are worth it without turning pay to win? Only one I can think of is the XP boost, of maybe a squad score boost.
We did release a bunch of info around this. There’s a FAQ outlining all the ways you could potentially spend your Battlefield Currency. A (really) short version of the blog:
Customization items currently in the Armory
Time savers (Tier catch-ups to unlock Chapter rewards, various XP Boosts)
Elites (Unique themed character designs with their own name, background, voice-over)
But nobody guaranteed you can immediately use those coins to purchase stuff.
Purchase premium currency = give money to EA. That’s it.
It’d be more reasonable to buy cosmetics simply with real money without any sort of bcoins and such. Adding this conversion model to the game seems pointless to me.
Buying virtual cosmetics in a game is just a concept that eludes me, i mean if you’re really callous with your money, donate it to a charity instead of buying some foliage camouflage for your virtual weapons

im going to top that…
other items are 120, 250, 300, 400 boins
1 epic at 750 and one rare at 250 = 1000 - you can only buy 3500 or 6000 pack
2 rare items one 300 one 400 = 700. if you buy 1050 pack of boins that leave you 350 - is there anything in the shop that you can spend this on?
there is no combination of items that will let you spend all the boins unless you want to waste it on mediocre rare items but then you have to buy 20 of them at 300 each or 14 at 250
With odd numbers, players will always have leftover currency. No escaping that. But that goes for every type of currency used as it was real money. So if one purchases too much, then chances are higher there is nothing left to purchase. There could be small purchases for step by step timesavers, like already said by EA-Alexander. Which leaves the consumer with the responsibility not to buy too many coins.
I dont understand why would you even defend this kind of marketing tactic. this could be easily resolved by actually selling stuff for real money and not made up currency.
it’s a dirty tactic that only greedy developers use. I can assure you if there was a law preventing such action I’m sure they would only use real currency for purchases
and again
I have every single item in the game except one epic that costs 750, which boin pack do I buy and not have spare change?

I was answering OP’s original question and it got a bit confusing. If you put it this way, all I can say is that there are two ways to avoid that under the current system: wait for something interesting or avoid the purchase in the first place, since Epics will be available through progression.
I know you probably don’t have an answer but I’ll ask anyway: was it necessary to add this whole conversion system instead of simple purchase with real money? Isn’t it easier to spend $10 to get an item?
