I've seen post in fs box offering to buy for x amount

They have said that it is allowed. Check out the gifting FAQ

[Filletminion]

It has obviously been popular with 81 in game atm.

You looked up the potion and dived by two considering no one has used them

Should packs be allowed to be bought with fsps instead of actual cash to buy? 

 

No.

 

EP,

 

I think what you suggest would amount to selling commodities within the game for money or money's worth---which is not allowed by the Terms of Use:

 

No row. You are using in game commodity to buy in game worth. In this example, somebody paid $90 and they are the ones that decided to sell it for an in game commodity. 

 

This is wide spread in the game with pots. 

 

The rule is not offering real world money or requesting real world money for something. To make clearer, the only intermediary in this offer receiving real world cash is HCS.

 

I would love to have the ability to buy this pack for FSP.

Offer this in the boxes. Beware... if you get scammed, that's on you. There is no ST option for this.

 

Overall it amounts to the usual $60 donation for 400fsps + epic potion/box  just no double allegiance tokens and only redeemable once with a few added extras (good value nonetheless) 

 

It's great value for anyone buying it but it can't really be seen as "elite" or a must have, the composing slot is again the only thing not obtainable by other means.(and bank deposits perhaps)

 

(...)

 

 

EDIT

 

Having looked back at the champions pack the only difference the elite pack brings is (250,000 Gold,100 Bounty Tickets,1 Marketplace Listing,2 Combat Sets,1 Max Secure Trade) -- nothing to shout about  plus +400fsps, +2 potions. Everything is else is the same as or multiples of the champions pack i.e upgraded champions pack.

 

On the above, edited by me. In case the silly "bad form" comes back, remember that the time-date stamp are in quotes. Go back and read it if you want. *rolls eye*

 

Thanks for the break down. That really put it in perspective for me. $60 normal for 400 FSP (albeit without bonus). That means, thanks to the offer, $30 for absolutely everything else.

 

Thing I'd add to the edit is that... well, even if you think it's not that much greater than the Champion pack, you can only buy each once. 

 

 

Nice idea, though you may as well have left out the 250,000 gold. An extra 1.15 FSP equivalent likely won't move the needle for anyone.

 

Not too sure where you got that 1.15 FSP from. Beyond that, you've missed some forum posts about gold being an issue.

If BG gives the go ahead i would sell like 2-3 of these lol

As long as you are only selling it for ingame currency, that's fine.
 

So I bought the champion pack and received +1 composing slot only to be deprived of a slot at level 50. I should have 7 but only have 6. Why don't I have what I've earned/paid for? And does this pack deprive you of another leveling slot?

You don't get a slot at 50, so you've been deprived of nothing. These upgrades are always on top of the max, not replacing them.

Why did you stop adding slots after level 40? Because?

[BigGrim]

Because 40 was the last original level. When we increased the max level to 50, we decided that an extra slot ever 10 levels was not required at that level.

Hi guys!

 

To me is like this: once you have something in  the game that only real money can buy, it is no longer a free game. I think this day will change the game forever. You will come to us with more and more things, that people will not buy and when those things will make a difference between players and guilds, you will lose a lot of players that play hard the game but have no money to spend. Somehow the game was indeed free up to now, but from now I think many things will turn bad for the game. That's my point of view

[BigGrim]

Somehow the game was indeed free up to now.

The game is still free to play. You don't have to buy the pack. However, there are people selling this pack for FSP so it's still possible to gain without spending money.

i bought the pack and i paid fsp for it just find someone willing to sell it

[bloody18]

2 cents: I still enjoy playing this game .. .. Im unsure how anyone could expect a company to run on zero  ... I bought the latest offer based on value.. I didnt necessarily need it ... I wanted it!  SO gratz to HCS for the the successful temptation lol

Appreciate it thanks!

Although I may not be able to afford to make this purchase now I will in time. It is a great offer: for cash or fsp. Offers like this help keep the game interesting. Thanks HCS!

Like the elite pack, unfortunately dont have the money to spend on pack. $90/$100 dollars isn't a bad price for it considering that your getting more that your moneys worth.

1. 400 fsps alone is a 60 dollar value

2. 3k current stam is 120fsp upgrades value

3. 200 max stam is a 40fsp upgrades value

4. 5 auctions house is a 100 fsp upgrade value

5. 2 bank deposit  is a 100 fsp upgrade value

6. 25 Inventory (Backpack) Slots is a 375 fsp upgrade value

7. 10 Components slots is a 50 fsp upgrade value

8. 100 Bio characters is a 4 fsp upgrade value

9. 250k gold is a 1 fsp exchange value

10. 100 bounty tickets is a 1fsp upgrade value

11. 1 Market Place listing is a 10 fsp upgrade value

12. 2 Combat Move sets is a 10 fsp upgrade value

13. 1 Max secure trade is a 5 fsp upgrade value

14. 1 Composing Slot is a non-buy able upgrade via fsp upgrade but is extremely usefully and if it was buy able i am sure it would be around 50-100fsp

15. 2 Potions of Elite Advancement non-buy able upgrade and if they were able to sold they would have 100-250fsp value if not more

16. 5 Bound Elite Frag Stashes non-buy able upgrade but look at the prices of what frag farmers charge this is around 300+ fsp value.

(Note total value of items listed from1 through 13 is 1216 fsp (Which around a 180  dollar value as every 400 fsps is equal to $60) ) [Values list for items 14-16 are just an estimated value. Still though i think the value of those listed items is at least worth 400+ fsp value adding at least another 60 dollars worth of value to the package]

 

So based on the fsps values of everything given in this pack the pack is over a 200 dollar value.

 

So it will be well worth the money spent to get it and should not be sold to players for in game currency unless they buy a code from another player.

 

Anyways look forward to getting the pack for myself soon

7. 10 Components slots is a 50 fsp upgrade value

Actually you can buy a total of 50 Components slots with gold. For 500,000 a piece. So ten at a trade of 250k gold a Dot. You can get 10 Component slots for 20 FSPs. Just Saying

What happens if you already bought the 50 slots? Just saying... :-p

 

You could also apply your odd logic to #2, 3, 5 and 6.

yes. Only I didn't want to give myself a headache.

Plus I figured if you point some one in a direction, they can get the rest (2,3,5 and 6). As for you having already purchased the 50 slots. Well then you got a good deal, right? I bought 4 myself. Along with Bank Depots, Inventory BP slots. And Max Stam every chance I get
