Yep, EA want more money from you for BF4.   RPS has a nice summary article here:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/05/28/battlefield-4-microtransactions/

Quote from: RPSBronze battlepacks will run you $1, silver will go for $2, and gold for $3. So yep, if you don’t feel like playing, you can gear up for money now.

As if this even needs to be said, this seems like a pretty poor choice on DICE/EA’s part given that the game’s been marred by technical troubles since day one. Asking for more money â€" whether from new players or longtimers â€" is maybe not the best idea when many still don’t feel like they got their money’s worth out of your original product.

If people are stupid enough to buy battlepacks, then I don't care if they take their money.
I mean, how easy is it to earn those battlepacks while playing?

....which by that logic tells you just how stupid EA/DICE think we are.  :roflamo:

Neh,

This is not new. The difference is in the word micro.... already you can buy different weapons packs and such.

I think that if people want to buy stuff like that, let them. Others will play to get the same stuff. Skillwise it is better to play for the goods. And the battlepacks are not really needed anyway (the good stuff you unlock by playing and getting points).

Let the EA make their money off morons paying for battlepacks. Gives the game longer life, which means more fun for us.

My view it enforce this is what people want and EA will see it as this as the norm soon no skill just who has the most space on credit card.
