Originally the feedback from the developers was that pricing was based on the character's difficulty. Going by that Ginebra is considered the most difficult to play. Not sure I agree but I'm not going to say she is easy that is for sure. For instance, her transformation seems amazing at first because wow no stress right? Unfortunately, you just shed your armor and you're gonna go down like a Harec if just about anything hits you. To counter this, she has a powerful weapon that can easily give you some breathing room so long as you don't run out of ammo first.

Do I agree with their pricing... No but these are also initial prices and a thing, no matter what it is, quickly loses value when everyone has it. So you can sort of see that high price as a matter of maintaining rarity in effect. So while this sucks now... they 'can' decide to lower those prices later when it isn't as important to maintain that level of rarity. If you absolutely believe you must have the Founder characters now your best bet is always going to be getting the Founders.

When you see players Gold Rushing as I will forever call it they are most likely trying to unlock characters that come free with the Founders Pack. I kind of broke down and upgraded after MS refunded me for Alien Myths just to avoid that insane grind. We are all early adopters and thus we're going to suffer the most as far as any balance issues goes. Heck, the new economy change that allows free players to unlock stuff is no small thing...

Fantastic!

I still think players quitting out early out of matches as Raiders 'should' get some penalty because it is seriously excessive how often I see it. I get people are impatient and bail if there is even the slightest chance of failure but seriously... even failing you get something but if you leave you get absolutely nothing and screw your whole team pretty royally by costing them at 'least' one life each transition. Be warned if you do this to me I will Block you and never play with you again no matter how new you are and I suggest others do the same.

While on this topic it might be good to add options for color blind individuals as even if you're only mildly so these options can be massively useful.

This might have been them doing some practical testing. The player base is small enough it is likely we might run across a tester in our matches.

Understood, that was the best I could come up. If you only found that bit offensive than I'll take that.
