Since this feedback is mainly about the U23 monetization, I believe this is the appropriate thread to add to. I understand SSG needs to make money, so please make VIP worth it for long term PVE players. For new players, yes VIP unlocks the whole game, but for long term players who have already unlocked everything there is basically two choices:

- Sub for $100 a year and get the two yearly updates "for free".
- Buy the two yearly updates $8 each for a total of $16.

In my situation I would be paying $84 annually for remote mailbox access? That is not worth it to me. If you cannot add more benefits to VIP, the other solution I would suggest is to double the price of the newest quest pack to 1600 points (and only after the next update reduce it to the standard 800 points).

I reckon there would be many players paying the doubled price (I for myself would not want to wait until the content has been made obsolete with the next update). I would happily pay $32 a year for content instead of $16 if it means no more lootbox nonsense. However, I refuse to buy these keys in the store, so I am sticking to my $16 per year. (Although I really think you should charge me more.)

P.S. I cannot see the pricing for the quest pack on BR, so if you're already charging 2,000 points for this update (like the pelennor instance cluster), instead of 800 like Northern Mirkwood, I would say that's a fair price, but for $20 I expect to be able to play without having to buy gear via keys in the store. Still my point stands there is no reason for me to sub. I'd have spent $28 this year, so remote mail would cost me $72. I'll ride over to the next town instead.
