Boosters in the ingame store?

So, with the release of yet another booster, I feel I should bring this up again:

Is it really so hard to have the booster packs available in the ingame store on the character screen like the server transfers, character slots, and the like? If anything, it'd make buying them more convenient.

And I honestly don't see any reason why they shouldn't. It likely wouldn't be difficult to put them there, and it's not like it would be exploitable since they'd still be costing you money. Only thing I could think of that would make this idea even the slightest bit BAD would be if some one had their account stolen and the thief charged all the boosters to their credit card (Although honestly, if some one were a big enough [censored] to do that, they'd probably realise 5 character slots are more expensive than the booster packs).

So, for the sake of giving the devs more money in an easier way... Can we please have the booster packs available to buy on the character select screen?


So, wait. You're trying to tell me that Brutes and Scrappers arn't the only AT in the game?

Don't quote me in any way shape or form, but I believe the reason they don't have this option is because, in order for the booster packs to be applied to your account, you have to be logged out of the game, and the in-game store requires that you be logged in to access it.


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.

Simple solution: They could have a warning that you would need to log out for the pack to take effect upon purchase. Don't see where that could be a problem, unless it's more of a technical issue or something.

I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. Being logged into the game has no affect on updating a database. The extra character slots update your game account just like the boosters and the expansions. So, who knows. I'm sure we will be able to at some point.

but /signed for this to be done.

I'd guess that you can't do that while logged in, but what do I know. Either way I'll have to give this a /jranger.
