The system itself is far from perfect but anyone who thinks this was a bad change is out of their minds. The majority of "pack" purchases were designed for you to spend MORE money than you ever would as opposed to individually buying a single skin. What cost 4-8 dollars in the past now costs a dollar and change, so even if you're looking at half the skins in a pack you're still paying less than before. You LITERALLY wasted more money beforehand. Shit's not rocket science. Packaged items are literally designed for you to spend more than you wanted in the "idea" that you got more for your money when all that matters to the company is you spent more money, regardless of what they gave you. This allows you to spend 4 bucks, get 3 different things you want, as opposed to spending 12 bucks and getting the same 3 things but getting 9 different skins you'll never use.
I guarantee the majority of skin packs bought in this game on an individual basis are never used because there's only a couple that people desire out of them. Them's the breaks.
Sorry, but lack of understanding economization/business doesn't mean you get to armchair dev or invoke emotional responses into this. If you honestly think that this change is anything but an improvement for players in general you're out of your minds. On a net average basis, the player will spend less per part they want by the nature of individually buying components as opposed to packs. This in turn also means there's a lower barrier of entry where arx acts as a universal currency where "extras" can be utilized elsewhere.
Also, Arx Packs are 4-8 usd for the lowest tiers, and combined with actual attainable currency (if you actually play the game) everything is that much more attainable.
This is the system that has worked in warframe since before Elite even came out, and it's nearly the exact same concept here. I will concede the rise in price of laser and engine colors are the one casualty of this change, but it is quite literally the only component.
The rest of the whining is a result of people looking to skewer FDev for anything they possibly can.
