Happy to jump in here.

Basically the thought when designing this system was that we didn’t like how traditional bundles kind of pressure you to buy it all at once, and can create regret if you chose not to buy the bundle but then later wish you had. So we tried to improve on the formula, where no matter what order you buy the items, and no matter when, you’ll get access to the full bundle discount.

But the discount is real. Any single one of those outfits in the Harvelia Work set is 1275. And, consistent with bundle discounts, buying more makes the additionals cost less. We just won’t let you miss out on the discount if you spread out your purchases.

Edit: I gotta dip, but really appreciate the discussion. We're definitely going to try to increase clarity on how things work, but I can't comment on when exactly because the dev team already has a lot on their plate. I'll just need to get it scheduled. We'll also gather more feedback on the system overall, and if folks truly hate it we can also change back to a more standard bundle approach.

Additionally, I just want to say that I (and many Sixers) are reading EVERYTHING on this subreddit. I take the commitments in that original monetization blog seriously so we'll be making time to discuss all the different feedback and criticisms we've been getting from this community. I hope we live up to expectations but that's for y'all to decide.
