I've been carefully monitoring the chats and steam reviews and all i've been seeing is just "P2W", offering high level gear at such a low profile level, etc. And I agree.

I think one idea to help resolve the "P2W" claims and having very high profile level bundles from appearing is to level-lock them.

For example: If you are level 10 and are seeing Siren's bundle. Siren is unlockable in the 70's. Instead of having that offer, they could be offered a robot bundle (with weapons included) that is within the player's level of levels 1-15. That way, they are not offered anything that is over the top like Siren's bundle. But at the same time, they are still given the premium account, credits, etc.

It'll help newer players with purchasing something they don't own. It will also allow them to get "early access" to a part they don't own until they reach that level to craft it. It makes their money well spent, and are able to have fun at the same time. It also excludes any early meta setups (like flame fenrir). (This could also be very good for people without premium account to try out 'newer' bots and to be able to craft it at a later level.

Ex: If you are level 20, you will be offered bundles that have parts, gear, etc, that are within the levels 1-25.

That would be nice for us players and I would like that. However, early access parts are probably the dev's biggest money makers.

You'd have to come up with something to offset that loss. Not as many people are going to pay things that they can craft.
