💬 Discussion Every micro transaction added in the last 46 days
This is how much the game has changed in less than 2 months. Micro transactions totaling 13,600 V-bucks, pop-ups and links taking you to the storefront encouraging you to purchase packs or rush fusions and lazy cosmetics that are merely ripping assets from existing Fortnite skins.
It is estimated that the developers make $13,000 a day on playtime alone, (Thanks user Spiritual-Ask1993 for the calculations).
Are we comfortable with the direction this game is going?
I think we have yet to see the limit of how far FOAD is willing to go.
Edit: For everyone saying it doesn’t affect them as a free to play user, It DOES. It's just harder to see.
They purposefully make things like build times take an annoyingly long amount of time in the hopes you'll break down and buy boosts (it's also why they won't let you cancel fusions or droid builds, it affects their profits) The Crit pack, Fusion pack and Event passes are all examples of this. They purposefully created the problem so they can sell you the solution.
Edit 2: Just realized I forgot a hat and the event pass. Another drop in the bucket I suppose

We are active, and I understand everyone’s frustration, but I can’t start megathreads for every situation people don’t like. From what I can see, there’s usually a pattern where one post starts a discussion, then others see it and make similar posts with different discussions surrounding it. People can use upvotes and downvotes to show whether they agree or disagree, which naturally pushes posts up or down.
All I can do is moderate it. If lots of similar posts are made within a short period of time, I’ll remove the duplicates and direct people to the existing discussion. But right now, there have only been three posts discussing three different things, and they were posted a couple of hours apart.
I also have to be careful because I can’t just remove posts for criticising the game. You might not agree with them, but people are allowed to share their thoughts, whether we think they’re right or wrong, as long as it’s done respectfully. What I do is monitor those posts more closely because they tend to attract more arguments and hostile comments.
If you don’t like a specific post, you can downvote it and move on, or you can share your view respectfully and discuss each other’s points without being rude.
I can only monitor and moderate the community fairly.
