I hope so, yes. If you want people to buy ( and TO would not survive without that) then they must gain an edge. Besides, most of the majors with m3 thunder I have met just don't know how to use it. Skill will always win through in the end.

A lot of this stuff used to be free. Perhaps TO has realised it is over reaching and has realised it needs to retrench. So I am pleased to see this although this pass is not my thing. I notice - in the same vein - that all of a sudden the kits are offering weapons slightly below the normal unlock rank, the way it used to be - excellent! The number of users on line at any one time I feel has dropped. Hopefully these measures will stop it and with a bit of luck reverse this trend. I am a buyer on two other accounts and it is only worth it if you can gain an edge in battle from it. Please keep this up TO.
