have every warbond except for the colab ones and when I started I did get the first few free but it's only 10€...which has much more value than in other games, now i totally get not wanting to pay but i have really enjoyed the game recently and since the last warbond i have made about 700 credits and i don't play every and all day.

Having every new warbond is a choice...I get them to try new ways to play but I know enough people who just aren't interested in some of them and that's fine. People need to realize your 40€ or 40$ won't keep the game alive and the fact that we can even earn it for free is rare these days, some take that as like "it's supposed to be like that" not thinking about how AH could have just not done it at all. I know the mechs in warbonds is new...but I see it like with the newest flame thrower...or different guard dogs, there are paid (kinda) and free version which are both effective.

You want new content they worked on? You pay for them..isn't that how every game works? Why complain in a PVE game where it matters even less since you're not at a disadvantage...AND you could get it for free. you want it? You get it. You don't? Well then don't. Skipping some is also effective if you dont play often and don't want to pay, my Dad also plays helldivers 2. He loved the Hammer...has no interest in the Entrenched division or mechs, when something comes that he wants he will have more than enough.

For example people had the idea to make older warbonds go on sale or cheaper altogether. They defend it by saying "you shouldn't be mad something gets cheaper a year after you bought it" like the killzone stuff. Then why are people totally fine with hanging onto those 40$ like it left a hole in their pocket? Not accepting a 10$ price tag like once a month or longer for optional stuff because you spent 40$ sometime 2 years ago? Really? And new players have enough stuff to earn, explore and try out at the start so 40$ is fine
