- New shop interface does not look as if done by a professional - at least not in 2016. Why was the old one even trashed? Worked fine, looked okay. Why spend the money/effort to build a new one, esp. if it looks worse? Lost the source code/documentation again?
- Prices have increased. Stupid move. Lowering them to 10% would have been a more shrewd move when actually trying to earn money.
- Vanity items got removed from the shop - one of the few reasons to actualy buy anything.
- Lottery boxes with T4/T5 gear. No. Just no. P2Win. Random content for real world money may be seen as gambling in some jurisdictions.
- Stupid move to publish this crap before the membership revamp. If the new membership system is attractive to customers, it might have lessened the impact of the shop incidient. If it's not attractive, you'll get twice the aggravation for two consecutive stupidities.
Why, Funcom, why, do you leave your marketing in the hands of whoever makes such decisions? You have/had some good designers, some talented people. But the marketing is just horrible.
