The ARX Bamboozle - Cows to the Slaughter

I've gone over the last three pages and other than Mastadons unravelling I've yet to see where the thread is on the great 2019 arxe bamboozle.

It's ok for a bamboozle I guess. Short version : Arx is FDev's way of sticking to their kickstarter plan. It is not an ingame currency. And without it the game would have been pay to win. I also farts.

Well, technically they are sticking to the original plan because we arent paying a subscription
 
Im pretty sure Sandro made a post in the ddf saying that cosmetics will be added to the game for an additional cost.
Ive told our friend here about 5 times that we had a choice between paid cosmetics. For some reason he thinks that means i think arx has always been the plan even though ive told him i dont.
 
Subsciption? That'd get a No from me.. And, frankly, it's a bigger scam than you seem to think Arx are.

I dont think Arx is a scam. I just think it was a total waste of development resource that worsened the in game shop and was pushed during a low content year in an unstable update.
 
It's because Elite is a niche game. Its not a battlefront 2 or call of duty. Its not going to get scrutinised for monitization unlike EA or Activision. And elite is mostly played by old dudes who could give two cents that fdev is slowly screwing them over.
nah, im an old dude and i havent even played since the Arx crap was introduced. call me old fashion, but i liked just going to the store and giving them $5
 
There wasn't an in game shop before so it couldn't have worsened it, you are confusing imaginary things with real life again.

Corect it wasn't an in-game shop but it was an in-game link to a web-shop which was physically different from the Frontier Developments store. A much more user-friendly method in my view but then again I really don't like the Arx price-masking and individual item pricing Arxing model we have now.

If you are paying in a currency other than those in the Arx store, every in store transaction costs me in value via exchange rate and actual $$$ in additional transaction fees. It's the cheaper, superior option for me..

Hate to tell you this but you can still give (technically pay because you get something in return) $5 but you now get a bag full of Arxs to add to the ones you get for free. Then you can uses these newfangled Arxs thingies to buy cosmetics for the game.

Ain't progress wonderful :D
 
I am glad I stopped playing after this of arx been introduced.

This company deserve nothing from me anymore: when they start wirking on elite instead that using it as a cash cow we can discuss: but otherwise my wallet is closed.
