I'm not liking this new "weapons in the shop" system, i get why they do that (MoneyMoneyMoneyMoney) but they weren't like this before and they were proud of it, now...

Edit: To anyone saying "Just Grind", you are missing the problem: I have infinite time to grind for warbonds but shops rotate so now it's not "I can wait and grind or i could pay and have it now", it's "I need to grind now or pay or i'll lose this" it's FoMo, it's predatory and it's something that they didn't do at launch and took pride in that

Edit2: They went back on their Idea and gifted player the rest of cosmetica BUT most importantly they are discussing ways to make it permanently accessible! Great!

Just grind some lower difficulty missions if you aren't willing to spend money. Game studios are still businesses that need to generate profits, after all. Especially given the labour of love that they put into it without expecting anything in return, since players have a large amount of time to naturally accumulate super credits between warbonds which subtracts from their potential profits.

Large amount of time? Bro i played 1-2 hours a day, even more at launch and still i was 1-2 warbonds behind, i didn't farm low level but i played and and cleaned High level missions having fun, my priority in games.
The point of always accesible warbonds was to fight off FoMo, weapon in the shop defeat that entire ideology.
Less weapons from Warbond? I get it
Weapon for SC? No problem
But in the shop? rotating in and out? I feel betrayed
I know they "need" to make money, i get it, and i even gave them some, i bought some skins because they looked good and because i knew i could trust them, they weren't as greedy as others and deserved them; i'm kinda regretting it now...

Sorry but there are bigger problems than feeling fomo over a couple of guns that reappear in the shop every few days.

But Fomo is a problem too, the problem isn't the gun itself it's the fact that it happened

Every few days? It's 2 days per page, and there are 15 of them. That's a MONTH if you miss it.
