Even with the 2020 Dilithiums, I was like "Really? Is it that good a deal?"
Yes, 29 10 pulls and 2 trainers + the Dilithium and I would have bought it...
They even put 29 over the picture of the packs. I figured as soon as I saw it that they were hoping to trick players. I hope people read thoroughly, but I predict a few refunds from that.
If you ignore the trainers (as you should), $20 buys you the following:
-$20 worth of 10 for $10 offers
-more than $20 in dilithium (even compared to the 8200/$100 price point)
If premium packs aren’t worth spending on, then you’re still getting enhanced value over normal prices. How much additional value this provides is of course subjective...
It are only 2 10 pulls Dirk. So $2 worth for them. That is the "problem" of this offer...
Yeah. It's 2/29/2020
Whoops...that’s what I get for skimming over it. Still, considering those two packs as worthless as the trainers still leaves you ahead on dilithium. I don’t feel the need to buy this one but it’s not outright bad like today’s LTO:
Well, on their Twitter DB calls it very very special. And that it is surely not.
It’s the “right now” factor that this era feels. You have to wait a month for that 3000. This, you get “right now”
I don't know if that's been done purposefully or by mistake. If it's purposeful it stinks - wonder how many got burnt.
Hanlon's Razor yada yada, but you'd better believe they wouldn't change the wording of that offer once hearing that players are mistakenly purchasing it. I've heard of 6-7 players doing that so far. Blame players for not reading properly, blame DB for typical freemium, low-rent advertising practices.
And DB complains that they're CS can't keep up with the requests rather than recognizing their own sloppiness causes the increased number of requests.
It is.
But the way the pictures are displayed below 2, 29, 2020 is misleading. The packs should be displayed to the right, the replicator rations should be to the left. At first glance it appears 2 replicator rations and 29 packs are being offered.
All this does is make me stop and second guess any purchase in future - I don't want to be burnt. And when I second guess myself, I'm more likely to not go through with the purchase. So that's bad luck for DB. They think they're being clever with their little commercial trick but it may backfire.
Was probably laid out as it is, because of design balance. The middle image is larger. But, perhaps next time, since people seem to smell "dishonesty", they can line up the wording with the images better.
As if they can't scale their own art assets...
Then again, maybe they can't based on AoS Worf.
If DB had consistently earned the benefit of the doubt in the past, then they would have it now. Remember when they edited the Skirmish announcement after the fact and told everybody that it had always been that way?
Nobody is attacking anybody personally. The format of this particular offer was a poor decision by DB and several players have already mistakenly purchased it (which means chargebacks for DB).
Rein in your horses there cowboys!

Please point out where I used the word "deception"
I merely stated that I would be less inclined to go through with a purchase the more time I spent thinking it through. Or as you more eloquently put it, I will "Caveat Emptor" in future. Trust is a huge thing for a business to lose.
You put the word deception in quotations after quoting my post. That implies that you were accusing me of saying it. Perhaps you should be more careful with your grammar? Unintended interpretations could otherwise be made.
Try to put yourself in another's shoes. You don't have to tie the laces.
I quoted you, but also addressed things that had been in the whole thread. And other threads. I should have made separate posts. Sorry.
