FYI I bought the set initially when it was still available for CC. Deliberately removing content that can be bought for ingame currency only to re-sell it back under premium currency is just plain wrong. The lack of transparency makes this even worse.

If initially selling it for just CC turned out to be a mistake due to poor quality control then the DEVs simply need to own their mistake and leave it as is. I can tolerate alot of dumb stuff and even tolerate/defend microtransactions, but this is incredibly egregious.

/u/Braddock512 love you to justify this LOL.

I've already escalated this. Just hang tight. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with this.

as a result, we will never get an answer or correction, as it was with this week's award

This Week's Reward was the reward. It wasn't a mistake. (It wasn't a great reward and I told the team that, but it was what it was.)

Regarding this situation with the Pit Crew customization, we've activated multiple folks to identify the cause and plan of action. I don't have any update right this second, but I'm spamming folks in Slack to get this sorted.

I'm sure this has already been decided internally, but in the future if you guys are going to use currency as a TOW reward, at least throw a few boins at us instead of CC. The number of people running out of things to buy with CC is just going to keep growing if the CC - buyable content continues to drip-feed at the current rate. Because of that, using CC as a reward for TOW is rather pointless in my understanding of the point of the whole TOW concept, which is to offer rewards that will keep players engaged in the game for a longer time.

That's a fair suggestion. Thank you. Will add it to my list.

Next week:

"Last week's store item - Pit Crew - was sold for boins. It wasn't a mistake. (It wasn't fair and I told the team that, but it was what it was.)

Regarding this situation with -insert new controversy here-, we've activated multiple folks to identify the cause and plan of action. I don't have any update right this second, but I'm spamming folks in Slack to get this sorted."

(not suggesting it is your fault - just frustrated with the state of affairs)

Honestly, I’m frustrated too. So I don’t blame y’all.

Oh so it really was available. Man, that's just horrible ...

I hope this will get a lot of attention ...

I don’t have an update yet. I’m sorry, I’ve been driving this conversation internally since yesterday.

I’m off work tomorrow (May 23, for my birthday), but I have a few emails out and hopefully I’ll get something in the morning and will share what info I have.

Hey! So is there any news to that? I hope it won't get overlooked with the new hype sourrounding Mercury

I’m recuperating after getting out of the hospital following my motorcycle accident. u/PartWelsh is driving this internally while I’m out on medical leave.
