I agree but not only that, we only get one pack or two if u ou complete the ubisoft challenge the rest costs a fortune to buy. Why can I not do what I like to do which is earn them? Dedication is what you want from fans right? So why not give them a chance to dedicate and earn there rewards not buy them for a ridiculous price which can be between 50 or 70 pounds in the UK! It's an outrageous price for just visuals. They are great but due to they have no change to gameplay I feel that is overcharging and I cannot afford them so I feel bad because I cannot get these visuals that I love.
While event packs are stupidly expensive, i think the developers wanted to send a message being "you will never have to use r6 currency for normal alpha packs but you will sure bleed out with the event ones". Then again, they probably want to make profits out of the time invested in making the event maps or voice lines.
Then again, the idea they're limited in the time and can be bought during that period only is just ******** imo. Nobody wins from this except elitist peoples.
