I can't even imagine how people are playing this without the permanent LGV and Glider Pad. On one hand, I'm very grateful that I got these free for spending too much time in the beta, on the other hand it must be pretty bad for new players. Same with the pilot token grind.

Those Bean prices are so high because of the Credit->Bean exchange. People can decide for themselves what grind/$ ratio an item is worth for them. That also makes the exhange more active, which means alot of people just buy Beans to sell them for Credits, to buy gear on the Marketplace. This also makes Red5 able to say "You can get EVERYTHING for free!", which always sounds nice.
The whole system is blatantly stoleninspired from Cryptic, who had so much success with it that they added it to all their older f2p games. It's pretty smart.

Also, who the gently caress wrote for this game?

The 20 days of free VIP that alot of beta vets have gotten at launch will run out soon, so that has probably the biggest effect on the bean market right now

Think of it as seeing the alternate universe version of a game each year. The e-sports universe we saw some years ago must be pretty infuriating, though.

Time to go full circle and just become this again:

The small windows between revamps where everything works well are kinda ok, but right now it feels really janky again.

I'm glad someone finally managed to do game development like a moebius strip.
