I didn't spend a dime on micro-transactions and I have a maxed manifest (which I started in February, so I'm not exactly an old-timer). I also didn't have to spend a dime on DLC. From where I'm standing, letting others spend their money on microtransactions so the rest of us don't have to buy DLC looks like the best option to me, ESPECIALLY considering those people obviously wanted to buy the microtransactions. If I did have to buy the DLC, I probably wouldn't have it because I wouldn't want to spend over 100 bucks on a game.
Some people were saying that if people didn't spend money to buy packs there would be no free DLC.
That would be someone as you as well.
I'm saying that if everyone coughed up (actually wanted to pay for the product they are using)... We wouldn't need free DLC or an RNG, because it would be paid and bioware get their due.
Some people have a somewhat irrational fear or opposition to DLC or microtransactions. In older days we had expansion packs. Somewhat more or less based around the fact that you had to use another cd or dvd with a game. That was X amount mb available for room.
An expansionpack could thus be upto the same amount of content as the original game. Meaning it should be priced around the price of a new game. Usually though the reuse of existing material (the game engine was allready made and reuse of art assets) allowed for a lower price.
Today they just offer a wider range of "expansion" to the game. From funny hats, clothes, weapons, armor to new maps to entire campaigns, because most of us can just download it.
There is nothing wrong with a company wanting to sell a hat in a game. If it's 20 bucks I personally will say no, if it's 50 cents-1 dollar and I find it so hilarious that I'll laugh the first 20 times I see it on my char I might buy it.
It lets me play my game as I want to and spend money accordingly.
An RNG based store or random drops... Is a hindrance... to letting me play my game my way. "Want a black widow?" "Too bad here's a sabre instead".
As it is, bioware have made very very little money from me (or you) on the RNG store. If I could have been sure to get the weapon, gear and classes I wanted from packs. I'd allmost certainly have spent some money to get them.
As pretty much everywhere else, I don't mind paying for a product that I'm getting and it's certainly preferable to getting "free stuff", that someone else had to pay for and I'm supposed to feel gratefull towards not only the company, but also the other people.
PS: Imagine if say: the omega dlc, had been equally RNG based. Every auto save you'd have to throw dice til you hit 6 sixes... Till then you couldn't advance in the game.
PPS: I don't people buying the packs. It's their money and they can do what they want with them. It's just not for me and I'd much rather have had a different kind of store.
