Personally, I think things like this are exactly the kind of thing HR should be selling, though I'm not sure how I feel about needing a booster to buy items (if they turn out to be AP only).

Paying money to pay money? You'll need to buy a Booster to get them anyway. ... Even if you don't need a Booster. So if they end up being a token sink, I'll buy a booster, get a trail effect or two and likely end up with more tokens than I had in the first place... I'll gladly pay AP for a Dome City jetpack or these upcoming trail effects, but this whole "Buy a Booster I don't need to get cosmetics!" thing is making me grumpy. And for the record, AP Haircuts have put me in a perpetual state of annoyance.

If someone doesn't need a booster for the rate increases, and doesn't find it worth the full price just to get a Dome jetpack (why would they?), you won't get money from them. Giving another option for players to buy jetpacks with AP, not bundled up with a booster, can only encourage them to pay money where they previously weren't. On top of that, those people might choose to buy more Agenda Points for the jet effects, which wasn't even an option before (whether it costs tokens and AP or AP only). Those that do want the booster's effects would still have to buy a booster, and just happen to get the jetpack for free as a bonus (which is what it's claimed to be now, but isn't, since if you want the jetpack you pay booster price). _________________ Dislike the search limit?

HiRez, put the Dome jetpack in the rare items store for AP already.

If someone doesn't need a booster for the rate increases, and doesn't find it worth the full price just to get a Dome jetpack (why would they?), you won't get money from them. Giving another option for players to buy jetpacks with AP, not bundled up with a booster, can only encourage them to pay money where they previously weren't. On top of that, those people might choose to buy more Agenda Points for the jet effects, which wasn't even an option before (whether it costs tokens and AP or AP only).

Those that do want the booster's effects would still have to buy a booster, and just happen to get the jetpack for free as a bonus (which is what it's claimed to be now, but isn't, since if you want the jetpack you pay booster price).
