I just saw Martial Arts bundle on the paragon market, looks like all the stuff I already own though?

It's just the costume pieces from the old Martial Arts Booster, turned into a Paragon Market bundle. So no, it's not new. There are similar bundles for the other old booster packs (magic, mutant, cyborg, etc).

Hmm I was thinking it was the new item today because for some reason it got listed on the featured and "new."

Hm, odd. I'm not sure why it's in "New". I mean, the "New" category has always had stuff that stretches the definition of "new" (Imperial Dynasty is in there too, for example), but not THAT far back.

By the way though, market updates now happen at 6am, not midnight.

I remember these booster packs for about the same type of $ back in the day, only change... these do not include the emotes, CC Emotes or temp/travel powers.

Like the Origin pack for example:
The pack was for 4 capes and 4 Auras. But right now, the capes are 400PP and the Aura's are separate, so 4 capes for the same amount of PP as say the Steam Punk pack, which has over 40 items in it.

I understand they are trying to make a buck, and new players do not know the difference, but long time veterans and even people like me who joined in 2009 do know the difference. This is one of the reasons i do not like this new Market setup.

Yes, i understand they are making more profit and therefor churning out more content, however, i just do not like the nickle and dimming aspect they are using.

Old booster packs cost $10, which is 800 points now (more, if you count bonuses for buying more than 400 at a time, but I'll ignore that here). 800 points gets you the Origins capes (400 points) and auras (80 points each, 5 auras).

Some boosters did end up more expensive, but they told us that would happen. On the other hand, the ability to buy pieces individually, rather than paying $10 for the whole pack that you only want one piece of, can allow some pretty good savings.
