    How to kill 2 birds with 1 stone

    This is about Premium credits and Exotic gear/gun

    I have 2 problems,
    1) The premium vender is selling stuff I think you should be able to get free and here why, I have 2 accounts, 2 season passes and have bought outfit packs so I am in no way against buying something, but what you selling should be free, if you came out with a new crazy set of 4 outfits for 5.99 I would look into it, not a hat for 4.99
    2) I run the LZ bosses trying to get exotic gear like many others and I have 3 or 4 of several guns, I got 8 MC gloves alone, problem is roll on them are not very good but what to do with? Should I just sell them for some credits I already have millions of?

    So why not make selling exotic gear be worth Premium credits? To me 50 credits per item would seem fair and a reason to keep hunting down gear also and if someone doesn't want to hunt down gear they can still buy the items so everybody wins right?

    Give this some thought, we may not be getting the expansion of story we wanted in year 2 but you can always throw a ton of little things together to make playing still worth something down the road.

    I'm fine with their set up (the prices are a bit steep, though). The only thing that really upsets me is that people who took it on faith that the game would be good jumped in on a season pass...and the skins they got for that season pass have been pretty terrible for the most part. We were like, well, it's something. Now they have this vendor and they are selling some REALLY great skins...so they went out of their way to just push some really, really poor skins for season pass holders when clearly they could have had some really good skins for season pass holders. They may not have existed at the TIME, but there's no excuse now to do something about it, now. It'd be nice if season pass holders would get a random premium skin twice a month when the season pass "events" show up.

    The real way to kill two birds with one stone is to learn the art of bank shots.

    I don't know the prices seem more than a bit steep, a hat at 4.99 when 4 whole sets are 4.99, not sure if steep is even in the ballpark.

    I think having different paths to same thing is way to go, some people for what ever reason cant afford a 9.99 shirt for a game but maybe they can over time get exotic gear they are using to sell to get it.

    Idea to me is to make exotics with bad roll which are many worth something while also giving another reason to play game

    Dismantle exotic = Exotic material. 5 exotic materials + Division tech = 1 random exotic

    No, the best way to kill two birds is by just leaving the stone out of it, and throwing one bird really hard at the other one.

    Git gud!

    I like how you think outside the box. Though the expression is "with one stone" so we need to involve the stone somehow. Maybe if we strap the stone to the bird we're throwing? Give it a little more heft and ensure a killing blow when the second bird is struck.

    It would be absolutely hilarious to dismantle 5 bullfrogs and in the end get another one...

    Don't know if it would work. Last time I saw someone try this, it involved strapping a coconut to a swallow (not sure if it was African or European) and the poor thing couldn't get off of the ground.
