Blood Bond items are basically paid DLC now.

[RaweX]

Blood Bonds are pretty much only obtainable via ingame cash shop. The weekly 50 BB you get are worthless as is the 0.1% chance of finding a golden cash register. And don't even dare to mention the pathetic 2 BB purses.

I saw nothing wrong with the Blood Bond economy before? People that played this game alot could, as a reward for their continous playing, obtain enough BB to afford BB Items ingame.

We already have dozens of paid cosmetics. Why make BB Items paid cosmetics aswell? This isn't a f2p game where you have to monetize every aspect of the damn game.

Man chill, it's their way of monetization. You didnt have to pay for Tide of Shadows weapons and mechanics to use them. Paid skins are fine, they dont owe you anything. Can you earn RP in LOL in any way for example? Most games wont give you ANYTHING at all.
Nerf hurts, but it's their holy right to do so and im surprised that it happened so late.

Does LOL cost £35 just to access?

No but again, you are STILL able to earn BBs in game, just less. Also during the events you get hunters and BBs even without paid pass.
My friend bought 1k BB pass today without spending any money, he did challenges every week, did trials, and now BBs he got from the pass he's saving for another event, with weeklies he will get it for free again.
It's totally possible to get every event pass and item without paying once. If you want more, pay up, its simple.

weapons? so you would like that users who pay for guns get them exclusively? because the "event guns" are just the new guns of the update anybody gets anyway.
And they nerfed it even more and ore over the last months. Also putting bigger pricetags on ne legendaries which are around DLC price now for a single item instead of 3.

Yeah, my point is that apart from skins you are not losing any actual content if you do not pay (and you are still able to get some of the paid content for free).
You don't need skins to play well and enjoy the game. It's not something that you could rightfully be upset about. It's their way to maintain income, you don't need to buy skins.
And you can get event passes as full free to play player which is already way more than other games give you.

I don't understand why people think they are entitled to free BB? Crytek could sell you the base game and not allow you to earn BB for free at all if they wanted.

Don't act so self entitled.

[dvair]

who buys bloodbonds? Between all the past events, I am sitting on a bunch of them.

[Zonalar]

the weekly challenge progress for 50 BB is pretty good and seems like a reasonable reward.

[Carnazi]

Believe it or not, the devs get paid salaries!!!!! I know, insane right.
Even crazier, Crytek needs money to create content for their game. Whaaaaat, I know this is crazy, They have to earn money to pay wages, turn a profit, and invest in the game. Who would have taught, businesses do business to make a profit and dev are paid with real money.

[MrHustler]

I care less about the skins yes it not a f2p game but it is a live service and the only way it can be a live service is if they have some type of way to keep making money! If this wasn't alive servers game this game would be dead already because no one likes playing games that doesn't get new content or updates!

[Driplock]

I mean, the monetization for this game is REALLY tame compared to other games. It could be like Call of Duty, a $70 with bundles that cost up to $30 and a battlepass.

[Greefer]

Imagine complaining about the monetization in this game when games like Diablo 4 Exist lol
