Morningrise Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'll cut straight to the point. Does DE plan on changing platinum prices of bundles to reflect whether you have already purchased a part of that bundle? For example, I own the Frost Harka skin, but I bought it a long time ago for 165p without the rest of the bundle. The only other item included in the bundle is the Frysta Longsword Skin. The full bundle is worth 215 plat. I kind of want the longsword skin, I think it looks really cool, but the game only allows me to buy the bundle at full price. There doesn't seem to be an option to buy the sword skin separately for 50p and buying the whole bundle again (and probably getting another redundant frost skin) would be a bit too much. I would like to know if this will change in the future. Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most egregious example of this is the What Stalker? bundle. 800 plat for three weapons and a color pallet. Thats it. Problem is, DE seems adamant about not changing it, with the only available reason being that it would be unfair to those who already bought the bundle at full price. I'd imagine your issue runs into a similar dead end, as reducing the price based on how much of the bundle you've already purchased would be unfair to those who came before you and bought the bundle at full price despite already having parts of it.

Morningrise Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I kinda don't like that line of thinking. Essentially that's an argument for not changing things because it'd be unfair to somebody. I will admit that I'm not a fan of "what-about-ism", but man, we have plenty of past examples to show that this idea just doesn't work. Well what about the guy who sold his Zhuge riven for 50p or whatever it was worth right before they announced Zhuge prime? Isn't that change also unfair to him? So should they always announce every new prime anything months in advance to make it fair? What about the changes to maiming strike that caused people to mass sell them thinking they were now obsolete (the price obviously bounced back, but that's not the point). I can go on and on about this, but if they are willing to change/remove relic bundles, I think bundle prices should also be amended accordingly. Every change will somehow be unfair to somebody. Meta changes? New enemy types? Well, somebody's favourite warframe isn't as good now for whatever reason. Vauban used to be relevant at one time and he's been so irrelevant since that the Vauban mains are still unhappy about it. Anyway, that's my humble opinion. I wish somebody from DE would reply.

Well, for that to happen you'd have to post in the correct part of the forum, for starters... Devs don't read General Discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
