We’re working on it at the moment…

I posted this on Reddit and wanted to relay it here also…
So we’ve been seeking out answers on this this morning - we don’t actually control the MS Store conversion rates of Iron and it appears this was done due to some conversion rates being off. Iron costs $5, and the price changes have aligned to the actual conversion rates apparently (ie. Iron being $5 USD + Tax).
This happened due to our partners addressing the feedback around Iron store pricing not making sense - for example, some bundles of Iron were more expensive than buying the equivalent multiples of the 500 Iron pack which was completely unintended. The incorrect conversion was part of that.
To be frank, we were not aware this change was coming or we would have at least communicated on it with some context rather than the out-of-left-field surprise it’s turned out to be. That’s on us and we’ll establish better processes with our partners for the future.
I also want to reiterate that we are continuing to bring your feedback into the studio on pricing and discussions are ongoing. I know that feels like a hollow statement at this point - you want action, obviously - but we want you to know that your feedback is being heard.

Damn it WHY did people post and mentioned in Forums/videos that the lower iron packs were actually more PROFITABLE!!???
Now I had to buy a 500 iron pack cause that price did not rise in the german version… YET
So, instead of lowering prices of biggest bundles
They decided rise the price of the minimal amount.
Don’t know who’s on charge in that marketing team, but man, they’re really trying to get fired.
This game is trash can’t believe we have to buy iron to get cosmetics. Why do y’all buy me this ■■■■
TC becoming the new Bethesda.

King dollar!
As other currencies fall against USD, my iron becomes more valuable.

Here is my feeback:
Until an hour ago 500 iron was 2200 CLP and now its 4000. 1000 was 4400 and now 7000. Sure now it makes sense since it is actually “cheaper” to buy larger packs instead of several 500 ones, but c’mon, those prices are absurd!
Prices were already high to begin with and I decided to only go for a few select items (character skins that while are not available yet everyone expects them to show up at some point). Now with the prices the way they are and with all due respect, ■■■■ this ■■■■■■■■, no way I’m buying anything from the store.

It’s all part of The Coalition’s master plan. Slowly decrease store item prices and slowly increase the price of iron. An ingenious master plan that the masses simply won’t be able to notice.
I jest of course. It was only like the 500 iron and 1000 iron that increased so I guess just avoid tjose two for now?
Good thing Iron is completely unnecessary then.

Can you comment on the quitting epidemic? With the frequency it seems to be happening, it seems as if there is presently no punishment in place for it. Can you confirm if there is a punishment and what it is, and maybe acknowledge that it’s not enough lol.
Also when are we getting that post on how the Ranked matchmaking/rating system works? I remember reading somewhere that that would be inbound soon, is it still?
Pretty sure they still haven’t turned Quit Penalties on yet. I think it’s because they haven’t completely fixed the issue of the servers kicking people.
If that is the case, I feel like maybe they should have held off on releasing/rewarding Ranked skins till the servers are completely stable and a quit penalty is in effect. Because right now Ranked is just being ruined by quitters. 
If it’s only cosmetics than if you wanna buy it it’s on you. The game will still play the same no matter what color your character or weapons are. People are frustrated because they want these things handed to them and it really does not matter that much to me.
Man come on , what you mean handed to them
They should have a legit way to get cosmetics with out having to buy. Remember gears 3 that’s how is supposed to be, but this greedy asf, then you have people like you that support this crap. This not. F2P game or mobile game, this crap as no room for consoles. That’s Microsoft is losing this gen and PS4 is dominating , people see this ■■■■■■■■. Yes you should a way to get cosmetics from just game progression but no you have to throw money at them. That’s exactly fortnite which is F2P. Bet this this gonna back fire big time. I like the game but I don’t like it so much where I can’t say what’s ■■■■■■ up about it
Granted I haven’t spent a whole load of time on this forum, but I’ve done a fair bit of browsing. So someone point out if i’m wrong. TC Octopus has replied in this thread, great, I almost thought. Until (to my knowledge) I realised it’s the only time i’ve seen TC get involved within the forums, and I can’t help but note that the chosen topic to partake in, is concentrated around monetisation.
On a side note, his reply seems fair. And iron cost will never be my concern, as I won’t be spending money on it.
This was merely an observation. Am I wrong or right? Genuine question haha.
Its TC Octus
And they reply to twitter and redditt more then they do these here forums
