    SoTG March 16

    First thanks for the update and clarifying Year 2, I'd like to ask for next weeks SoTG to include some information/ discussion (if possible) regarding the Premium Vendors. Mainly regarding prices and the content.

    A lot of discussion has come up regarding the over pricing of items along with some issues with backpacks (like highend backpack) barely showing any new skin applied to it. Plus a lot of content that can be purchased with premium credits are lacking..meaning that buying one skin for 188/ 250/ 500 premium credits should include more...i.e additional rewards like phoenix credits, intel points, DZ keys, rng cache.

    Yanno something more cause lets be honest here... 5 dollars for one weapon skin or backpack skin...10 dollars for one emote..20-50 dollars for one outfit is all over priced.

    Your proposal is dangerously close to P2W. I couldn't agree less with that idea of getting useful in game items / currency with real money.

    As for the pricing it's a bit steep, agree on that one.

    We have to be careful of offering anything like PxC in the vendor. Strictly cosmetic items are really in the best interest of the community as they do not affect the gameplay experience for others.

    What about the other way around, maybe converting 5000 phx creds into 500 Premium Credits? That way we can earn some non real money ways to get the PC vendor stuffs while using our in game efforts to get some rewards in another way? Or maybe complete 10 weeklies and get 500 PC creds or some number of in game objectives.

    Just as an added option, you can still buy them with real money or work on them in game, might help with some of those who think the creds are too over priced.

    ???? This does NOT makes any sense ?? you are worried that credit will effect someones game but you do nothing about cheats ?????
    CHEATERS are affecting our gameplay experience so what is getting done about that ??????

    I have a great idea, why not have a vender were I can sell my 2 season passes, you got all those new people who came in when you all put game on sale and they are already leaving, why not let me sell them my DLC so they can stay and enjoy it, that's the vender i'm interested in.

    I'll even take the money I get for my DLC and buy some skins, how about that?

    Interesting idea for sure.

    I can't promise things, but I can promise to bring it up and see what the team thinks.

    Might be a cool way to offer a second route to credits, as you said.

    Probably a good reason they don't, why i just tossed it out there

    I don't expect promises especial ones that you dont have the power to grant, but the free flow of ideas back and forth with them is a good place to start
