No battle pass, but the bazaar is still there?

[Timmys666]

Honestly, this is weird. Why get rid of a battle pass but keep the predatory shop instead? FOMO? Greed? Something sinister on the horizon? The only reason I kept coming back was for the things I get for free in the pass. Why would I want to replace a battle pass with 13-14 interesting items at a price of 1 time pay of 10 usd as long as i complete it or 10 usd every pass for the items, rather than spend 10 usd for 2 items in the bazaar?

If someone sees something they like why shouldn't they get it? it's cosmetic after all you can choose to freely ignore it and move on.... or do you think them removing it will make them add free content for your special little heart? because they won't

That's what you call logic, we as gamers lack that logic, there are the rare few.

Even calling this "predatory" is utterly laughable, nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy Crom Coins. It's shocking how dumb the discourse around this is.

There are lots of things I don't buy in the Bazaar, or on the Steam store, or other places, because I'm not interested in them, and/or I want to spend the money on something else that's more important to me. Self control? Free will? By Crom, what sorcery is this?

The core problem is that we live in a world where nobody wants to be responsible for their actions, everybody wants something for nothing, and if their smug ignorance doesn't work out for them, then their poor life choices must be somebody else's fault, so they'll take out their childish frustration on anybody they can reach.

We have actual predators subjecting us to their fatherless, unemployed behavior everywhere we go these days, and idiots demanding that predatory, corrupt modern governments censor and regulate our games to "protect us" from... What, exactly? Our own spending habits? The temptation to buy more waifu outfits for imaginary barbarians? Someone getting all triggered because a character in a fighting game has a nice butt? Absolute madness.

I guess this whole debate will be even funnier once global civilization collapses under the burden of its own ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and we're all playing a survival game in real life. Maybe we'd better practice tying rocks to sticks, so that we can build sandstone shelters down by the river, and fight off the hyenas...

Predatory lol.

Why are you removing the Battle Pass? Reaching level 60 in the Battle Pass each time was my main motivation for playing this game, and now that reason is gone.

[Hulkachan]

They should leave the battlepass and add better things to the bazaar.

I don't have a problem with the shop, so much as I have a issue with the content cycling. Why not just have everything available?

FOMO really, its how Fallout 76 gets away with it, but then again if you contacted Bethesda support, you can easily get items on the Atom shop as long as its not a SCOREBOARD item, and you have the atoms.

Has anyone tried this with FUNCOM support, at all? I wanted to, but they don't exactly have bazaar pack names on a google doc. Lol

[Lestrad]

Not really. It's more a matter of: is their in game storefront so inefficiently programmed that it is only capable of handling five items at a time? Seriously?

I mean, sure, 90% of the stuff I have zero interest in, but come on. Not to mention the number of times I've seen items go through their 7 days on the bazaar, only for it to repeat for the next 7 days. They can't even cycle the store they have properly.

Then there's the new content that, according to their own notes, should have dropped to the store today. But last time I checked, none of it's there. So is it coming next cycle? Next chapter?

Now that they're not doing the battle pass, they need to start getting their house in order.

Bazaar is way over priced and would never buy from it. The battlepass I liked even though there was a bunch of junk in it for the age of war.

Necessary evil. We hate it, but its there for a reason. Trust me I hate it, it plays on my "I want there fore I buy"

The DLC's were way better and you got more with them for the right price. The bazaar is a joke.

Sorry if its a dumb question, but where is this basar predatory? You either like some of the stuff thats currently in and may even buy it, or you just dont. If there is stuff that you would like to get but it isnt in yet, you simply wait.
So... how and why do you consider this to be predatory?

Mostly because you will always have coins left over with not enough to purchase anything else making you have to spend more just to fill the gap. Say there is 2 packs you want and get the 10 dollar pack but with 1200 you can only afford one if they are both 700, how do you get the other bit of coins? Getting more.

Personally doing homework I feel like I get less platinum for more, in the Warframe shop [check their merch store, you really have to get MR 30 to spend 70$ for a windbreaker, but we'll talk about that later]

Call of Duty Titles and Siege [as well as modern Ghost Recon Titles] and Division Titles, with their respective stores. Have equally predatory things, albeit pay to win or even cosmetics.

Frankly I've grown to accept that this is the way; even for cosmetics so we can basically pay for the game. Wish we did this boycott crap after EA popping off these loot boxes ♥♥♥♥ for 20$ for 3 boxes lol

I honestly never played a call of duty online, I only played the classic MW2 and got bored of it quick not a fan of shooters so I never really got involved with many games with battle passes and definitely never touched fortnite the battleground stuff kinda meh played pubg for a bit but gah their store is garbo.
