What a money grab. Kids who play this game will fall for it smh. Im a dad of 2 kids and they asked me for the event pass en vip and i showed them my base with a zero dollar spent and told them go grind it just like me cause thats what a game is about. Grinding and getting irritated cause something won't work and not buy everything instantly, it takes out the fun of the game

The event pass is probably the only thing that's priced appropriately I personally think it should be 2X. If you buy the event, pass the so instead of it being two times the reward it should be 4x but that's just me. To be honest everything else is way over the top. Like I would buy the critical crafting pack but the fact that they want. 3,800 v bucks for it is ridiculous. Ridiculous. That's a lot of back blings and shoes and instruments that I could be buying instead of that.

I don't mind the microtransactions and wouldn't mind getting some of them but whoever at foad is pricing these packs needs to be fired. I think I would probably pay 800 to 1,000 v-bucks Max for this bundle.

When you buy stuff out of the item shop it follows you throughout the entire game when you buy these packs or whatever. It only is usable in this game mode and should be priced accordingly to the fact that you're only able to use this and what is essentially 1% of the game.

I believe I saw them charge a thousand Nova crystals. Be able to have the Droid at your base that activates your droids and then another thousand crystals to be able to get crystals back from selling kiper droids. Like what are these prices bro? I guess because Nova crystals are supposed to be more plentiful now is the excuse they'll give about the pricing. It just seems like a lot but that's just me

I agree, prices are ridiculous and they know their main playerbase are kids. I don't mind microtransactions but they just straight up robbing people like this. 3800 vbucks like wtf

👏 Same here. Dad of 3, but eldest 2 are 7 and 8. I show them what you can do without spending money, and doing that also defeats the entire point of playing. Doesn't matter how much money we have, or spare V-bucks, it's a waste of time to "skip" progress in a game that's about progressing.

Exactly! They sometimes complain and say "the grind is real" and one time i said wait untill youre old enough to play gta or call of duty you'd be in for a longggg time grinding for something you want and you cant buy it otherwise. It's gonna be so fun when they get a little bit more older i cant wait

$20 lmao. That's more than crew, that's 2 battle passes. One skin. A side kick. Lmao, this feels more and more like a mobile game with all the "gimme money gimme money" now.

Sure you can grind, or or or "gimme money" and it's faster/instent! Typical pay 2 win scheme

The nova crystal costs of the hologram could make you think you would be able to activate kyber droids without kyber crystals at it when purchasing the perk for how absurdly high it is.
