Why did they nerf the coupons?

[Velaethia]

Seems kinda silly/random. Did they announce they were doing this or was it a shadow-patch?

What coupons are you talking about? You mean login rewards? Nerfed how? The plat ones are two kinds -75 and -50. Did you roll -50 and think it is a nerf?

There was 3 25% 50% and 75% I haven't seen what 50 got turned into but 75% is now 70% and 25% is now 20.

I've never seen 20 or 30 or 40 or 70 before. Well first and last recently.

You get 70% Discount coupon? I thought anything above 50% is a myth

I had 75% coupons many times but never used any.

I used to get 75% about once a month when I played daily. I only spend with a 50% or 75% off coupon.

I've never seen anything between 50% and 75%.
Anything below 50% I don't even register so I wouldn't have noticed if a change happened there but I was fairly certain the only other one was 25%, which isn't even listed there.

I really don't like the look of this if they've diluted the discount coupon pool with a bunch of in-between junk. They've been making a huge amount of really scummy monetization moves recently. Ether they don't care if they burn down Warframe's reputation in the pursuit of funding Soulframe, or Tencent is really starting to throw their weight around Warframe's monetization.

i just got a 75% a few days ago so nope they are still in there, no nerfing quit spreading rumors

Indeed. I just ignored another 75% off coupon 2 or 3 days ago because I don't need any platinum.

RNG is RNG and just because you haven't seen a 75% doesn't mean they don't exist or that DE hates you.

At the moment I'm only getting Platinum Discounts and NOT Market Discounts. I checked the link above and they should still be dropping.

Supposedly, I shouldn't even be getting Plat Discount since the wiki says "PC only" and I'm on PS4, but there you have it. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature but it is really annoying since I got tonnes of stuff (specially Deluxe skins) with Market Discount.

A coupon nerf is wild 😆 

[(XBOX)Lord ChibiVR]

I legitimately thought this was going to be about de removing in-game discounts from console and replacing them with the plat coupons...

One thing the human brain is really bad at interpreting is chance, for example, if a game says you have 99% chance of hitting an enemy and you miss you will feel that something is wrong even though that is within odds, the same thing happens with this, even though you might feel that something changed because you haven't seen a particular outcome in a while, is probably just in our heads

haven't had a market discount since they allowed plat coupons on all platforms, btu I have had a couple plat coupons. either/or is fine by me, but it's definitely a good idea to be curious and look into these things, because this is where companies will try to get you, and while DE are *usually* better than most, I still don't trust any company as far as I can throw them: years of being treated like a walking wallet by AAA companies will do that..
