Sure, it's nice that for 80 points you could randomly get a costume piece you don't own. But why didn't the Devs just make it so that the Superpacks have a random chance to drop any costume piece you haven't yet bought in the store? That would be worth it, because if I didn't get the costume piece, I'd just go in the store and buy it separately anyway! (and the chance to get a emote or costume piece I don't already have could theoretically be nice for the occasional 80pp toss.)

The problem isn't that what you're getting for the fifteen dollars in 24 packs isn't useless/crappy, but that it's unwanted (for the most part, especially for someone like me that doesn't need/want any of the enhancers/boosters/etc.) and it feels really, really silly to not want to take my monies because I don't want to trust the same random chance that governs whether I get a purple IO drop or not for actual money on top of my subscription price and would rather just spend a flat sum of money for the 'expansion' of small costume pieces and a vanity pet.

It does feel like a blatant grab for money. If they offer the set within a week or two I'd be fine with it, but zwill's post about it not even being up for discussion yet is disheartening with a company I like to support. It's not enough to drive me off of CoH, but it is enough that I won't be spending a penny on these packs, and leaves me dissatisfied with the decision enough to come on to the forums and post about it!

So yeah, Feedback! Yay! Elemental Order set is a very pretty set, most likely why I spent the time writing and editing this post to not have too many typing mistakes:P

There needs to be an alternative. If people would happily plunk down 400 points for the set, so LET them. More options is GOOD, less options is BAD.
