Why isn't there an official announcement about these? Or something in the sneak peek thread?
We got all those "S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level x Bundle" announcements.

All joking aside I feel bad that players buying these aren't getting even more for their support of this game and that the Devs are really stooping this low with what amounts to "You've come this far, do you really wanna stop now?" tactics.

Also, this 3-day timer on each of the packs basically limits participation in this sick game to those with lots of disposable income in a very limited amount of time. I can understand a few hundred dollars over a couple of paychecks, but not this whole "I hope you have $300 lying around"

Dragon_Nexus said: Until today I'd have said the freemium economy to this game is really fair compared to so many others. There's no push to get you to spend money, there's no insane grind that can be easily rectified by spending thousands. It's not even pay to win, since you're matched in PvP against others of your strength anyway.THIS, however, is manipulative monetisation. Okay offers at first, but the good stuff isn't shown unless you buy that offer. And the offer's for a limited time, making you feel like you need to buy now, NOW DAMMIT, or you'll be missing out! No time to make up your mind, just do it!But, oh no! This new offer is even better! Can I afford it?This is really sleazy stuff, honestly. This really does pull on the manipulative side of a freemium economy.
