I know I'm pretty cynical.
I also know that WG is even more cynical than I am.
WG never do anything without a reason and so I'm wondering why they are offering this?
Presumably they want either
1) Want people to spend their credits. Why ? Are we hoarding too many for discount specials ?
2) They want people to get a taste for premium time. Why ? They hope once people are hooked they will buy more, especially as they are now 5M credits down ?
3) Both.
4) The game is slowly dying and they are offering more to try to keep it alive for longer ?
Either way I recently unlocked the Object 430U and was waiting for a 15% discount on Tier 10s during the Birthday W/E in April.
Now, rather than buying it for 5M credits I'll get it for 6M credits + 7 days Prem.
+1 from me.
