Not sure what I'm supposed to do with Renown or why I should buy more booster packs. So many cosmetic items are gone, and it doesn't take very long to unlock all the Ops in this game.
Ying currently has 0 available headgear and 0 available uniforms except for the seasonal skin (which, begging your pardon, is... not for everyone). And for all the other operators in the game, a lot of the old uniforms and headgear I've been saving for are now removed.
So what am I going to do with the renown? Are these items coming back?
I'm all for past seasons' uniforms and weapon skins returning, and many other people have posted on here asking for the same thing.
Problem is, Yoo-Been-Swindled (I actually have my tablet's dictionary set to substitute this awful company's name for this should I accidentally type the "real" name) has told us time and again that they don’t care, that those who did buy them back when they where out need to be coddled and made to feel special.
Countless people on here have said they would even be willing to pay R6 credits to be able to get the black ice skin, or cosmetics from bygone seasons! The people who couldn’t or simply wouldn’t buy stuff back when it was new—either because they weren’t playing yet or because the game had a lot of problems for quite a while after release and did not warrant throwing extra money at to many—are S out of L. Yoo-Been-Swindled just doesn’t care and is unwilling to step away from the latest microtransaction fads they've glommed onto (battle passes and limited-time event cash grabs) to take requests.
This is an accurate representation of Yoo-Been-Swindeled's reaction to the many requests like this through the years:

I think your reply makes a lot of sense for some of the bundles and cosmetics that are now gone. Ubi wants to make it exclusive, limited, special edition. "Buy now or it is gone forever."
But this marketing strategy makes no sense when:
A) There is no warning about which items are limited or when they will be removed from the shop
and worst of all:
B) There is nothing else to spend renown on! Nothing else to spend money on! When you've unlocked all the ops, the only thing to spend Renown or R6 credits on is cosmetics. But Ubi has removed most cosmetics from the store.
So.... it's not even a cash grab. It just doesn't make any sense on any level, because now I'm not even motivated to buy old cosmetic items before they're taken away. Ubi has already taken away practically everything! What is there left to buy?
From a marketing standpoint it really doesn't make any sense. You could rotate old content back in for "limited time offers". They already HAVE the content...and are literally just missing an opportunity to continue to collect from it. I guess they assume that people will want to buy the blaze-orange uniforms/headgears from the current season instead....BWWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
I only have 39 characters unlocked. Yet I bought this game first day 5 years ago. But barely played cause people voting and team killing frequently. But I don't use actual money to buy season passes to unlock characters or renown boosters. I got 16,809 renown. Best to take your time. Yeah not getting characters early. Means most likely time I get them their nerfed.
Yeah, I would be fine with a limited time rotation. Just make it transparent. But still, there needs to be enough content to spend renown on. Right now, I see no reason to ever spend money on R6:Siege anymore. R6 credits have zero value to me if they can only be used to speed up the process of unlocking operatives.Originally Posted by croken717 Go to original post
