So glad I never bought this game.

I'll buy it eventually...at a steep discount.

The Return of Loot Boxes.

They never went away.  They're still how the progression system works, you just can't buy them with real money. 

DICE is somehow revamping the progression ahead of the return of the microtransactions.  I'm not sure exactly what that means for the loot box system, or if it's even going to continue to exist at all.  The game will be a lot better off without them, especially for new players.  I just hope they don't go back to throwing up time bottlenecks that can be bypassed only with money.

Regardless, the game itself is still solid, I certainly don't regret getting it, and although progression is slow and grindy, at this point it really doesn't effect much of what I do in the game.  I've unlocked all the weapons, and upgraded every ability I use regularly to maximum, and never had to pay a red cent over the sticker price for the game.

I know, but it made a better sound bite than "The Return of Microtransactions" :P

I don't know.  I think that'd make a good band name.

Sir AndrewD & The Grogsters would make a good band name.

Too bad I can only play chopsticks on a pinao and my singing sounds like a Water Buffalo being tortured. 

I doubt you lot are much better.

But hey, you never know.  Money for nothing and chicks for free and all that.

They've updated that song for microtransactions.
