I am not whining because I don't have everything, I understand that takes time.  I am commenting that we should not be recieving repeat cards for maxed characters when there are other things to fill.

I think the point where the store really started to annoy me was when I got my 6th, 7th and 8th batarian soldier card.

Would it really have been such a huge blow to EA's profit margin to let me have the Krogan soldier instead?

lol I love these threads. They go like this:

"pls no more char cards."

next poster"i no man, i agree"

next poster"i no i second this"

etc etc, with no response from Bioware. If they do respond, it'll be something vague. Then more members complain, and then the thread dies and another spawns.

The only thing we can do is cotinue to voice our displeasure.  And not buy any packs with real money.

And keep asking for comment from BioWare. At least acknowledge that many loyal players dislike the store?

There was a rumor a while ago that they were going to have character and weapons packs. Nothing concrete though.

Heres the thing. Bioware doesnt give a f--k. They make more money out of this BS. The more frustrating it gets, the more it tempts people to buy the packs for actual money instead. Win for Bioware and rEApers. And the people who agrees with this store system..... I would love to say how i feel about them, but that would "violate" against the forum rules. If you start to get tired of this game and its store system and that you wont get anything good out of it, just stop playing it. Im seriously starting to consider that myself, all because im not getting my entertainment out of it. I want my harrier X, but apparently i havent got enough character cards. And i will most propably get bored of this game once i get the things i want.

I understand this frustration, but the gameplay is still extremely fun for me.  I just want to be able to play with characters I haven't gotten yet, and with the limited time I have getting them is becoming a chore.  Games should not be a chore.

I also love the game play. There are some things i dont like about it, but all of that would be forgotten if only Bioware would be so kind and fix their damn store system. All i need is my harrier X and my fully pimped out QMI/QME/Kroldier/HumanSoldier. I have been farming like hell lately with my QMI claymore build, and its starting to get REALLY boring.

To be honest, I doubt it. The threshold for spending money on something that uncertain is pretty high. I suspect the majority of income from microtransactions come from players with low- to mid-level gear who just want slightly better equipment. When you get to the level where almost everything is unlocked, the chance of actually getting something you want is so small that I doubt many people are willing to spend the money.

Sure, there will always be some incorrigible gamblers with no eye for probabilities. But I suspect the total income from microtransactions would go up if players with high level gear could actually expect to get something useful for their money. As it is, the expected value for you money is practically nil, so I don't think many players with high-level gear bother to use actual money.

Unfortunately, that's the biggest problem with the modern consumer.

The store already checks your profile for which weapons are fully unlocked as part of the purchase process. Extending that to characters is not an insurmountable programming challenge.

It isn't that difficult.  They were able to add a cap to the respec cards.  The program would only have to check what level of customization ability that character has, and if it is maxed it gives a different character.

This information is false.  Please check my manifest to confirm the inacuracy.

The information is already on your manifest, which makes this a simple if then.  If maxed, then redraw.  (Program would auto repeat until it draws a non-maxed card.)

Also, the fact that there are always a few on here, and that "the thread dies and another spawns", tells me that we are right.  I think a petition is useless because BioWare is not a democracy.  However, clearly, and rationally explaining our concerns, and coming up with real solutions that benefit both the players and BioWare/EA, could make a difference.

Exactly, consumables capacity and reset powers are gold cards, but once they're max out they don't appear again, as far as I know

Also, every single gun and gear.  It is silly to think that it would even be difficult for BioWare.  I literally wrote the program in my previous post.  I wrote it in standard english, because I forgot how to code :-)  But you never forget "IF THEN".  They are so easy.

This would be a simple and viable solution.

Wait, no, thats not right.  One lvl 3 equipment bonus card does not equal one gold weapon/gear/character card.  Maybe a card with 5, or 10 level threes.  I'm very serious.  You don't buy a PSP for the equipment, you buy it for the Gold cards.  That means that the gold cards have the most value to you.  A PSP cost 99,000 credits, or 3 bucks.  A Jumbo costs 33,000 credits, or 1.50 bucks (oddly).  

Therefore, If you are going to recieve a maxed out CC, and the system must redirect, you should recieve something equal to a Jumbo, or very close.  1 level 3 equipment card would be  woefully insuficient.

It would be so nice to get some kind of comment from BioWare on this. Let us know you are listening.
