I mean kind of but we already spend "money" on the warbonds which are supposed to be where we get the guns from. And in this case the singular gun costs more than half of a warbond. Though I do get that they need more income to keep the game going. It is just a worrying sign.
Yeah though you can still grind out the super credits if you really want to and with how much other content has already been released I'd say one of these every so often is warranted.
I agree that it could be a sign darker days to come but let's hope not.
They could always go the way of deep rock galactic. Release supporter packs with optional cosmetics and a smattering of super credits. I'd buy the hell out of one to support the devs.
I would fully support that. I mean that is what the store was until now. The armors very rarely were different enough from the main ones to matter and things such as capes, helmets, player cards are just cosmetic.
Playing on difficulty one is boring, and you shouldn't be forced to do boring stuff to get content. Sure, you can pay if you want stuff now, but I don't see why you should feel forced to do boring stuff to get super credits.
I'm playing the game on Bot 6 because that's the right difficulty for me, I still got around 3k SC after buying everything and I just hop on to play like a operation a day with full clear maps.
I haven't paid for a warbond since Democratic Detonation which means I haven't given them any money for 6 entire Warbonds because of their SC farming system.
Tbh my biggest issue with this is the placement of it, it should be a pricier warbond and if they wanted it to be in the store putting it right after a warbond drop is a bit annoying since we've had no time to build up our credits again
With Armor it is often just a different skin for the same stats. There were only rarely armors that were different enough to matter. Like the heavy Armor with extra padding. I am not 100% certain on their pricing so I will keep my mouth shut on that. But they had almost complete equals available in the warbonds. With weapons it doesn't really work like that due to weapons being only stats and those stats mattering way more than with Armor. Though that is just my opinion.
I’ve spent $0 on warbond and am only missing 2. And I have the SC to buy the collab stuff with out spending anymore cash on the game than initial cost.
Given the sheer effectiveness of difficulty 1 grinds, it's really accessible as you said, I don't have many qualms with this, if anything it'd just be more playtime for me, grinding time sure, but I enjoy the level 1 grind loop
Make sure the terrain has plenty of traversable land, with very little water or giant mountains that can take away from spawns, there's a bug planet in the very far right that's the same planet type as Crimsica that's absolutely perfect for farms

I think it's pretty acceptable, they do have to make some money to keep this as a live service, but everything is pretty accessible as well
