[...]1000 to 2000 [...]hours [100-200 or less]) [...]
200 to 300 hours is already a large amount of time for most players, you can't decently lock new content behind a grind this long. DAIMP shouldn't become a korean MMO where everything new and fun requires you to spend week or month of mindless grinding. I also don't think anyone sane has put around 2000 hours in the game already.
The hardest diehards do not spend money on platinum, and are thus of no real business concern to Bioware.
That being said, St. Luke may or may not be looking into such a gamemode. He is very
about it in other threads.
...and people wait for another 6-month for new content?
Okay, seriously now. It's just there because it's a multiplayer and maybe EA has a general principle and what not? You can afford a large chest in 2 matches, which is about 30 minutes if you're playing relaxed. Who really purchases Platinum?
I refuse to believe it's enough to even take the revenue into serious consideration for anything, let alone worth the flack you're getting by default for having it at all.

Some do, some don't.
Since it's still rng, there is no incentive to purchase platinum if the results are the same...
This is why I am worried about starting to see cards in mat form.... Will they be added to chests in order for people to buy platinum to craft dragon calls and new character armour sets.
EA is looking for them whales.
Ok I love the fact that there's no cap.. and lets be logical with a cap in place you hit it then why even play any more, also what point would a leader board have at all, I mean it has little point now but some point is better then no point.
edit: Besides dont we deserve something for us the "Elite" players who poured our heart and soul into this game ?
Some people like myself play for enjoyment, I dont even promote hardly ever because its counter-intuitive to me having fun, yes I suffer for that but id rather just enjoy the game than being forced into something thats compeltely boring and grindy.
Maybe you are a player who wrongly gets obsessed with numbers, like achievements/trophy addicts. If the game would no longer be worth playing for you if you could no longer promote then I dont know what to say....
And stop speaking of deserving, you deserve nothing. You should be glad you got 200-300 or whatever hours out of a game that you must have enjoyed playing so far.

It must work, though. Me3 back in the day, you'd see posts with people saying, "I've bought $50 worth of chests". RNG and platinum is the price we pay for free multiplayer DLC, and one I'm happy to pay. Since I'm not paying 
Sweet,another elitist ****** and complaint thread.
- Create a mode equal to preilous where promotions don't matter. (Which would give everyone the same level of difficulty)
Not thinking he'd like that very much. I remember the frantic, ALL CAPS screaming rage post he made when the DLC dropped and people suffered a temporary loss of promotions. They seem very precious to him.

Yeah, but see, there's a mighty big difference in the RNG store here and the RNG store of ME3MP. I totally spent some bucks here and there to purchase packs back when I was still leveling up my weapons because I KNEW I was guaranteed to get an upgrade to something. Take my Claymore V to a Claymore VI, for example. Maybe not specifically with one pack purchase, but eventually my guns would level up to 10. Now, after you'd maxed out all your common, uncommon, and rare stuff and had nothing left but elusive ultra-rares to collect, at that point throwing money at the store was a waste, IMO. Much like this current set-up for DAIMP.
Here, there is none of that progression. I could throw money at the store and be rewarded with a Sulevin Blade or - faaaaaaaaaar more likely - a highland dirk and a hoarfrost staff. I gave them $50 in platinum on the first day to be supportive of DAIMP like I had been of ME3MP. Take a wild guess if I have spent one penny more on this system since then.
On a side note, I would seriously pay money for a pack that guaranteed regen potions. Those things literally just do not drop for me. It's beyond ridiculous.
I would agree on the chests. ME3MP had many diverse chest options.
Where's the DAIMP version of the Premium Spectre pack?

Ha! me too! This and healing mist -- everything else is in the max zone -- but these two . . . and, for the record, I use straight healing potions at the fastest rate with healing mist and regen being used far more rarely -- so consumption rate is not the issue since straight up healing is maxed.

I too want guaranteed, or at least more directed, mixed potions. Resist vs Healing vs grenade type at the very least.
Just a reminder you can purchase mixed potions and get those regen/other you want, it just takes a while.

In this case Jumbo Equipment Pack.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a DMe?
Dragons are impossible hard for us. If you want it harder - maybe just have BioWare remove all promotion benefits and remove all your weapons so you can get stuck with the weapon levels we have even after a few hundred hours of playing (and money spent on a idiotic BS loot system).
I would rather they made the game more accessible because the RNG keeps denying my playgroup any decent items and then they introduce a new DLC that finally gives decent items, but of course - its to hard for us and when we finally managed to beat threathening the RNG screwed us over.
Hopefully you will get a new difficulty where you can be the almighty full time gamer you are (all respect and props for the dedication for being as good as you are too), but they really need to introduce something to help us players who keep getting royally GRAPED by the RNG system.
What DragonRacer said. When the game first released, I spent money on platinum, thinking the store would be like ME3. I didn't mind supporting the game, but I haven't spent a dime since then, because the result is the same whether you spend gold or actual money. I could get a unique HoK ring... or another highland dirk.
As far as the OP, some of us are actually not casual gamers. We just don't like to promote. 2 of my stats are still under 20. The other is at 21. Yeah, try Perilous with that setup.

After blowing a load of money on the Mixed Potions Crate and still coming out with almost everything except for regen potions, I stopped bothering.

That sucks. There's an even chance between all the potions. On PC, I can use scripts to automate the buying process (because who wants to wait).
I also wish I could buy 5x and 10x of everything at once. You'll get the regen pots eventually but... ugh. The wait sucks.
no they they wont there casual players they will never put in the time, and or quit by then... that's why they are casual if they are potential hard core DAMPers then I am sure they will end up feeling as i do, and be jaded with lack lustered updates and DLC
That's...utterly ridiculous. It doesn't matter if they're your definition of casual or not, they're paying customers for whom the experience shouldn't be a mind numbing grind to enjoy. Not everyone is going to play this game to end game materials. Asking for the Dragons to be buffed so that they're fun for the top 5% of the community is unreasonable.
Truly, you're getting no, or at least very little, support from the people on this forum. That should tell you something by itself.
I am at 500 hours with 10 / 12 / 32. I HATE promoting. I also hate not playing with a full "build". Yes, I have at least one Agent banner. It`s a Willpower one - the 12 number. I am also 60k shy of the 1 mil earned banner.
So, please, don`t assume things. If you do, make sure they are accurate.
Medallion,it doesn't matter if you believe perilous is easy, and dragons are soft as cotton candy, the truth is most players who play damp are just regular Joe's who don't put mega hours into the game and it is fine. They already have a tough enough time at lower difficulties due to patches, and stealth updates through server side that it must be a chore for them to even extract on threatening. Remember when stats were accidentally reset after the last major patch? How did you do with your 30/30/30 promotions in perilous pugs let alone threatening? You nearly committed sudoku, on the forums because your 1800000000 hours were almost taken away from you. If anything it should make you realize the things like damp are but a microcosm of what is important in this life.
This. I can never take Medallian seriously after that. That was the funniest rage meltdown I have ever seen.

This should really be answered,I'm curious too.
