I appreciate that they have shaken up the offers since this thread started. Hats off to paying attention.
But to be honest, none of the new configurations have interested me.
The gold card + 1200 chron deal is a near auto-buy. The 3k chron/dil + 15 packs is a near auto-buy. Most others likely fall on the wrong side of the fence, but at least when they are close it makes me struggle with the decision.

Straight dil-buys are easy-passes, though.
Close to the end of an event when you get players returning shuttles with dilithium, it's probably a decent moneymaker. Personally, I don't buy it. It's probably rough for f2p who are competing against paying players, so I'm a fence-sitter on that sale.

I don't buy any of the bloated offers , i don't want to spend a lot on this game , i'm happy with the 10x packs those are a buy for me, but i don't need credits , chrono's or dil. I don't spend dil on anything other then the odd pack i buy for faction / skirmish events or crew slots, voyages now and again but i always have a token to burn. And since you can't pick if you want to spend a token or dil , it's token always .
Sorry, fellow captains. Looks like this thread has killed the 3k/3k/15 deal. It is now a 1k/1k/10 for the same price. And I don’t think we have had a gold/1k deal since.
Anything the players viewed as value has basically been discontinued by DB.

We can only vote with our wallets. I for sure am not going to buy this ripoff.

I view the 10x10 as having value and bought it within the past two weeks. Same thing goes for the 15x/3k/3k. 🖖

I was thinking of doing one or 2 1k/$10 purchases this weekend just because I needed the bulk. I have changed my mind because of this LTO. Not only am I not buying this LTO, but I am not buying the reg chron either.
Yep no way I am buying. Not when you know there was a 15 packs. 3k dil offer out there.
Give me that offer and you have my money.
Yup. I have no prob forking over my money. This is my hobby that I enjoy. And the product I am buying doesn’t even actually exist. Why they are being stingy is a straight up <snip> ~Shan to the customer base.

I agree that this deal is not great. But how about we be a bit more constructive? What would entice you to buy in?
At $10, I definitely buy this deal.
At $15 I think about it, and buy it if budget allows.
At $20... I probably don't buy it, but might consider it for 5 more packs or 500 more dilithium or 1,000 more chronitons.

Well, basically what you’re saying is “give us back 3/3/15 deal for $25”

You could read it that way. If DB is fixed on that $25 price point, then yes. But you get different spenders at different price points. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they went after the $10 or $15 crowd.
But I would also like to point out... Just because we don't get the deal you want one week doesn't mean that it won't be back the next. Or maybe it's such a good deal that they only run it every couple months.

I'd hesitate to say any deal has been outright discontinued. They are by no means consistent with when and how frequently any particular deal is run. I would suspect it will show up again in the future. It is and will be the only over $10 deal I will ever buy, and I doubt I'm alone. If DB likes income, it will run again.
For the current LTO at 10x/1.25k/1k I would pay 12 $ but no more.
I stopped buying 10x for 10 $ a few months ago as I do not consider them worth the money any more for me. I have no use for half of the schems (other than replicator food) and naturally increasingly often the only better-than-rare is honor -> I personally do not spend money on this.
/edit: ...at least not 10 $. At this point I would buy 10x for... don't know... like 7 $ just for the thrill of opening packs without regret if I find nothing worthwhile within.

They had the deal of 25 premium packs, 4K dil and I don’t remember how many chronitons for $50, so they’re probably not fixed at $25. But still it’s not as good offer as 3/3/15 for $25
The 10 for $10’s inherent value goes down with every dilution of the premium portal pool. Not by much, but certainly enough for many people to not be that interested. This is a problem DB could fix by implementing any of the many good suggestions made about how to fix the portal pool to the satisfaction of both DB and the players. Until that happens, I’d think the time is coming soon when they may wish to at least experiment with dropping the price to $7.99.
I’d also agree that today’s deal isn’t worth much more than $15; chrons are devalued to the point where I don’t even assign a dollar value to them in these sorts of deals and the dil included is somewhere in the $12 range. If people are saying ten premium packs are now only worth $7-8, then this offer is $20 of stuff for $25...a bargain only the desperate, uninformed, or apathetic would go for. Those three classes of players might make a quick buck now but don’t represent long-term growth.

Yay, just in time as my chrons ran out. Thanks DB!

How about they improve the legendary odds? Half these offers **tsk tsk** because for $10 you get 1 random legendary. Out of 300. And 1/5 at that. I have 0 desire to gamble with these odds. Obviously it's meant for whales but there's only so many whales and it's arguable they'll continue to spend a lot regardless. I kinda laugh when the ultimate reward for collecting 6 or 7 cards in a vanity collection gives you like 1 pack and 500k creds.
Comments
Just in case you aren’t joking:
Looks like offers are also chosen by RNG. And R in that particular RNG doesn’t stand for ‘random’
Does the R stand for Reginald?!
Well, I was thinking ‘retarded’ but whatever, Reginald will also fit
Actually, I think it should be called CNG - chaotic number generator

The last time was not long ago really and I am sure the offer will be offered again at a point not too far away...
I just want to say, I believe I had that.
Not too far away indeed - and taken
Agreed! Bought it twice. Thanks DB and now I wait for the portal update. Schmallen needs some ships maxed
